Best Foreplay Toys: 6 Picks for Teasing, Couples and Better Sex

Somewhere between the first kiss and the main event, a lot of couples slip into autopilot. Same moves, same order, same finish. If you've ever wondered whether a vibrator belongs in that stretch, the answer is yes, as long as everyone involved is on board.

Consent is the only real rule here. When you're both curious and comfortable, using foreplay toys isn't a sign that something's missing. It's a way to add sensation, slow things down and trade a little control back and forth. (Nobody's being replaced. Hands, mouths and toys can all share the bed.)

Below, we'll cover what counts as a foreplay toy, why couples reach for them, how to bring one up without the awkward pause, and six Lovense picks built for teasing and sex toys for couples of every kind. Want a shortlist first? Our roundup of the best sex toys for foreplay has one.

Here's the lineup at a glance, with each toy matched to who it suits and how it feels.

Anything that builds anticipation before (or instead of) intercourse. In practice, the best ones share three traits:

Plenty of foreplay toys double as solo toys, which is a bonus. The best ones work alone, together and across a video call.

Distance counts too. Foreplay doesn't need a shared postcode, which is why connected LDR sex toys have become a favorite for couples who spend weeks apart.

Here's how the main styles break down:

Completely. Sex therapist Dr. Shannon Chavez has said toys can bring variety and novelty to couples dealing with boredom or mismatched desire, and she recommends them sooner rather than later. Toys built for two also let both partners play at once, which keeps things equal.

A common worry is that bringing in a toy means one partner isn't "enough." It doesn't. A toy adds to what you already do together, and the moment stays just as shared.

Bringing it up is often the hardest part. A few moves that help (our full guide on how to introduce a sex toy to your partner goes deeper):

If the first reaction is hesitation, give it time. Plenty of people need a day to think. You can also suggest a lower-stakes first step, like trying a wearable on your own and describing how it feels.

Each of you should weigh in before checking out. Run through these together:

If you're shopping for two, a bundle is often easier than building a pair from scratch. Each set below was chosen so the toys talk to each other, and you can browse the Lovense picks before you commit.

We've paired these into three bundles, each built around the bodies involved. Mix and match freely. Every pairing works for any couple whose anatomy fits.

Max 2 pairs 360° vibrations with squeezing contractions inside a textured sleeve, and it runs up to 215 minutes per charge. Nora is a rabbit vibrator that combines clitoral vibration with a rotating G-spot head, each controlled independently, with up to 245 minutes of play.

Here's the good part: they're built to talk to each other. Toy Sync means the faster one partner moves Max 2, the stronger Nora rotates and vibrates, and it works both ways. That makes this duo a favorite among sex toys for straight couples and for LDR pairs who want two-way, real-time play.

How to play it: Start with the lights low and Nora in place, buzzing barely above a hum. Hand your partner Max 2 and let their strokes decide how hard Nora spins. Every slow pull sends a ripple through you; every quickened beat makes your breath catch. Trade roles when you're both trembling, then keep the pace ragged until neither of you can wait.

Why it works for foreplay: Teasing thrives on back-and-forth, and this pair builds it in. One person's rhythm becomes the other's sensation, so nobody's stuck on the receiving end. Keep Nora's rotation low and let the clitoral buzz lead, or flip it, depending on the mood. Read the Max 2 review for a closer look.

Pro tip: Use plenty of water-based lube with both toys, and agree on a "slow down" signal before you start.

Gush 2 Motion wraps the penis in 4,300+ oscillations and vibrations per minute, with stretch-to-fit wings and an adjustable band that keep it hands-free. Its motion sensing lets your movement drive other paired toys. Edge 2 adds dual motors that hit the prostate and perineum together or independently.

Connect both in the Remote app and your partner can tease your shaft and prostate at the same time, building the intensity or backing off right when you're close. It's a standout among sex toys for gay couples, and it doubles as men's foreplay sex toys for any pair who loves a slow tease.

How to play it: Slip both on while your partner sits back with their phone. They set the rhythm low, kiss your neck and watch your hips respond. A tap up, a pause, a tap up again. By the time they reach for you, every nerve is already awake and you're begging for more.

Why it works for foreplay: The appeal is the layered build. Penile oscillation and prostate vibration arrive together, so a slow ramp-up feels like it's happening everywhere at once. Because Gush 2 Motion is hands-free, you can keep kissing and talking instead of reaching down. Curious about the details? Read the Gush 2 Motion review and the Edge 2 review.

Pro tip: Adjust Edge 2's neck before you turn up the intensity. Comfort first makes the build better, and standing, kneeling and lying positions all work.

Ferri clips to your underwear with a strong magnetic cap, delivering clitoral vibration while you walk, sit or dance. Lush 4 is a wearable egg with up to 7,000 G-spot vibrations per minute, LED lights that shift color with intensity, and rapid charging (5 minutes for an hour of play).

Sync both through the Remote app and feel the vibes together, or let one partner wear both while the other controls them. For sex toys for lesbians and women's foreplay sex toys, it's an easy set to start a night out with. Want something with more thump later? Read the Osci 3 review.

How to play it: Wear Ferri under a dress to dinner and hand your partner the remote. A low hum over the first course. A sudden surge when the waiter walks away. By the time you're home, you're already glowing and pulling each other toward the bedroom, desperate for whatever comes next.

Why it works for foreplay: Ferri keeps things light and external while Lush 4 adds internal pressure, so you can build in layers. Start with Ferri alone, then add Lush 4 when you're ready. Both are small and quiet enough to wear all evening, which makes anticipation the main event. Our Ferri review and Lush 4 review cover the rest.

Pro tip: Swap who holds the remote halfway through, so both of you get the tease and the control.

The session doesn't end when the toys switch off. A few minutes of aftercare helps both of you land softly and builds trust for the next round.

Ten minutes of honest chat does more for intimacy than any new gadget, and it makes next time better.

Some people feel a rush of emotion or a little vulnerable after intense play. That's normal. Stay close, keep your voice soft and let them lead the conversation. And if something didn't land, say so kindly. "I'd turn that down next time" beats silence every time.

Ratings come straight from each product page at the time of writing.

Numbers only tell part of the story, so here's what a few buyers noticed.

Foreplay is where the best sex starts, and the right toy turns it into a slow, shared build. Whether you're after Max 2 and Nora for two-way sync, Gush 2 Motion and Edge 2 for blended sensations or Ferri and Lush 4 for a wearable tease, there's a pair here for you.

Start with a conversation, pick something you're both curious about and enjoy the build. Foreplay has no finish line, and that's exactly the point. Browse the picks above, or revisit our foreplay toy roundup for more ideas.
