A Little Less Trick, a Little More Treat
I’m Bronte, Adultsmart’s sexpert, and my idea of a Halloween treat does not necessarily come in a bowl by the front door. Sometimes it comes charged, cleaned and ready for a night with someone who knows exactly how to make me blush.
But “couples toy” is a much broader label than the packaging sometimes suggests. You do not need to be a man and a woman, enjoy penetration or reach orgasm at the same time to use a toy together. Taking turns counts. Holding a vibrator for your partner counts. So does letting them choose the setting while you provide very clear feedback.
For this Halloween, I’m looking at three options for different kinds of shared play. The We-Vibe Touch X starts things with external vibration, the LELO TIANI Twist brings a wearable option into the mix, and Ashella’s thrusting strapless strap-on offers another way to play for couples interested in penetration.
The spooky part can be the costumes, the film or the noise outside your window. Choosing a toy should start with a much simpler question: what would you both enjoy trying?
Start with a Little Teasing
Something small for when the horror film stops holding your attention.
A couples toy does not have to be worn by both people or used during penetration. Sometimes the most useful choice is something one partner can hold while the other gives directions. No complicated setup, no costume adjustments and no need to stop the evening for a technical briefing.
We-Vibe Touch X
The Touch X is a compact handheld vibrator with a soft silicone surface and a curved shape for external stimulation. It has eight intensity levels and seven vibration modes, so you can change the strength without being stuck with one setting.
We-Vibe designed it for foreplay, body massage and use between partners during sex. That makes it a useful option if you want to add vibration while keeping your usual ways of touching and moving together.
7 vibration modes
USB rechargeable
Waterproof: IPX7
For a Halloween night in, take turns choosing a setting and asking whether your partner wants more, less or the same. Start low and leave room for feedback. The highest setting is an option, not a dare from a suspicious voice in the basement.
My reason for including it is flexibility. You can enjoy external vibration together without committing to a wearable design or changing the whole evening around penetration. It is also rechargeable, with up to two hours of use per charge.
Try Something Different Together
For couples curious about strap-on play with added movement.
Halloween gives you an excuse to try a different look. If you both want to try a different kind of bedroom play too, a strap-on can be part of that conversation. Keep the choice about what interests you both, rather than assuming a costume comes with a full set of sexual instructions.
Thrusting Strapless Strap-on Massager by Ashella
Ashella’s strapless massager combines motorised thrusting with vibration. It offers three thrusting speeds and seven vibration modes, giving couples a choice of movement and patterns rather than vibration alone.
The strapless design is intended for one partner to wear during partnered penetration. A wireless remote lets either person adjust the settings, and USB recharging means there is no need to keep replacing the toy’s batteries.
7 vibration modes
Wireless remote
USB rechargeable
The remote gives you an easy way to share control, but agree before changing the speed. A surprise jump in intensity belongs in the horror film’s soundtrack, not in a setting your partner has not asked for. Start gently and change one thing at a time so you can work out what you both like.
Take time to find a comfortable position with the motor off first. Strapless does not guarantee that a toy will stay perfectly in place for every body or angle; supporting it with a hand is fine. Use water-based lubricant and follow the supplied instructions for fitting, use and cleaning.
I would choose this for couples who already like the idea of strap-on play and want to try movement alongside vibration. Being curious is enough reason to talk about it, but neither person needs to agree simply because it is Halloween.
Choose Your Halloween Treat Together
Choose the kind of play first. The product choice becomes much easier.
These three toys do different jobs, so choosing between them starts with what you both want to try. External teasing, wearable vibration and strap-on play are separate interests. A longer feature list will not make a toy the right choice if neither of you wants the activity it is designed for.
| Toy | Choose It For | Consider Before Buying |
|---|---|---|
| We-Vibe Touch X | Handheld external vibration during foreplay or sex. | You or your partner will hold and position it. |
| LELO TIANI Twist | Wearable internal and external vibration during vaginal penetration. | The fit and clitoral contact need to suit the wearer. |
| Ashella Thrusting Strapless Strap-on | Strap-on play with motorised thrusting, vibration and remote control. | Both partners need to want this kind of penetration; check dimensions and fitting instructions. |
Set a budget together and talk about what each person hopes to enjoy. “I want something you can hold for me” is a useful starting point. “Let’s buy the most powerful thing available and see what happens” is how a simple shopping trip becomes a questionable Halloween plot.
Before the night, charge the toy, read the instructions and have suitable lubricant ready. If you are using an app or remote, learn the controls beforehand so changing a setting does not interrupt everything.

Frequently Asked Questions – Halloween Couples Toys
What are the best sex toys for couples trying one together for the first time?
Start with a toy that matches something you both enjoy. A handheld external vibrator such as the We-Vibe Touch X is a simple option because you can control its position and strength without insertion. Wearable toys and strap-ons suit couples who specifically want those kinds of play.
Are couples sex toys only for straight couples?
No. Choose according to your bodies, preferred sensations and how you want to use the toy together. Gender and sexual orientation do not decide which products you can enjoy. Check each toy’s intended use rather than relying on “his and hers” packaging.
Do we need an app to use the LELO TIANI Twist?
No. The TIANI Twist has eight built-in vibration modes that you can use without the app. Connecting to the LELO app adds control through your phone and two extra modes. Set up the connection beforehand if you want to use those features.
Will a strapless strap-on stay in place without support?
That depends on the fit, your body and your position. A strapless design does not guarantee completely hands-free use for everyone. You may need to support it with a hand or adjust your position. Follow the supplied fitting instructions and keep comfort ahead of staying hands-free.
How do I suggest trying a sex toy with my partner?
Bring it up during a relaxed conversation and explain what appeals to you. Ask whether your partner is interested, listen to their concerns and choose together. A surprise gift should never come with an expectation that someone has to use it.
