Arousal, toys for one or two, and the practical side of getting there.
Picks
The best couples vibrator, and three toys that beat the label.
Two toys built to be worn during sex, three that make a better shared toy than most products with "couples" on the box, and what to check on control, lube, silicone and cleaning before you buy.
Guides
Arousal gel for women, what it does and what the evidence says.
What arousal gels and oils actually do (botanicals, menthol, L-arginine and niacin to increase blood flow and sensation), the one with published trials, the condom problem with oil based formulas, and why time, context and dryness usually matter more.
The rose toy, explained.
The viral rose is an air pulse toy sold under hundreds of unbranded listings. Where the idea came from, why two identical looking roses can be different products, what to check on a listing, and the two branded versions we would buy instead.
Sex toys for couples, and how to choose the first one.
A six point buying framework (first toy, budget, waterproof, noise, materials, lube), five toys we would hand a couple, and a table comparing them on format, control and who each one suits.
