You've decided to bring toys into your pleasure practice. And, frankly, we couldn't be more proud. But, some positions are more toy-friendly than others. So how do you figure out which positions are suitable for toys, which positions work best for partners, and which positions work best for your personal play-style? Come take a scroll as we explore our top 5 toy-friendly positions for both solo and partnered play. 

Partnered Positions

1. The Best Seat In The House 
This position is best suited for rear-entry anal or vaginal penetration. (Also known as 'doggy' style). With the penetrating partner seated on a chair, the receiving partner can slowly lower themselves onto the penis or a strap on dildo. If you are the person on the chair (the penetrating partner) try a vibrating cock ring or even a vibrating pad like the Niya N5 or Flora. The person on top is completely hands free so they can use any toy they want! Maybe a wand with an attachment, or a suction vibe for the clit. The possibilities are mind boggling.

2. Against The Wall

This position may look hot in movies, but in real life it can be pretty underwhelming – until you add the We-Vibe! It's the perfect couple's toy for this position because both parties get powerful, deep vibrations at the same time. This rings true for penis and clit combos, vulva and vulva couples and penis and p-spot pairings. No matter your configuration, always make sure it's lubed up.


3. Missionary

Boring, you say? Perhaps we can add a little spice to this otherwise bland position.

With the bottom partner restrained (with/without actually being tied up) the mouth and nipples are open for pleasure. Think: nipple clamps, blindfolds, and mouth gags. Oh, what fiendish fun! This position is suddenly perfect for eye-gazing and verbal compliments or consensual degradation and hair pulling – house choice. Or, if you want to top from the bottom, you can always use a paddle to whack your partner's arse, pinch their nipples or have them use a wearable sex toy such as a vibrating cock ring, butt plug, prostate stimulator or perhaps some vibrating nipple clamps that you can tug on. Boring? Never!

4. Double Cowgirl

This position involves three people: one person laying on the floor, a second seated on their face and a third providing oral sex to the first person. Here, all three can be pleasured with the addition of sex toys. The person laying on the floor probably won't need much, okay, well maybe a plug for their butt, a clitoral bullet, or a cock ring if they're up for it. The person doing the face-sitting is enjoying some great oral sex but let's 'face' it, the technique might be a little shaky if the bottom is also getting head, so here's where you can get a little kinky. 


An arse vibe, a clit vibe or some nipple clamps are sure to ramp it up. And for the person giving head to the one on the floor? Well, hey, they can be having their hair pulled by the face-sitter or, if they have a vulva, be using a wearable vibe like the Moxie, Ferri or Jive. If it's a penis that needs pleasuring, use the Manta to masturbate while you're licking and sucking away. A veritable smorgasbord.


5.  Doggy

This position need no introduction. You're on all fours. Your butt is in the air and your lubed up arse is getting ridden by a connoisseur. Enter, the Rabbit Vibe. How long can one last with butt, vag and clit getting so much attention? Or, if you have a penis, the suction powers of the Sam Neo, simultaneously? Of course, this position can be brought to life with a penis, strap on harness and dildo or vibrator of your choice.

Solo positions

1. Grinding
This position. involved laying face-down on a bed with your favourite butt plug or vibe snug inside of you. Now, press down on your penis or clitoris and grind your way to Kingdom Cum.

2. One Legged

This position may require a little balance. With one leg on the floor and the other on the bed/bath/couch, you're perfectly placed to reach the G-sport or P-spot with your favourite bendy shaft. Our personal fave is the Pure Wand. Lube it up, slide it in and start rocking and rolling that beauty at whatever pace suits. Add a penis toy like the Evo or a clit suction toy like the Womanizer Next and ride those orgasmic waves into the sunset. Use towels or a sex blanket for easy squirt cleanups.


3. At Your Desk

Your next position? Desktop. Get your laptop and find some hot porn to masturbate to. Tie your legs to the chair with a long piece of ribbon or rope and utilise your favourite toy while you watch porn. Take it to the next level by sitting on a vibrating pad like the Flora or Niya N5.


4. Flat On Your Back 

This is our go-to position for those days when we've got some body pain, we're on our period, or just feeling lazy AF. If you've got a new toy to try out, lying down can be supportive and restful. Roll onto your side if you're using a butt toy, or add a Liberator piece like the Humphrey Pillow for humping or the Jaz Liberty to make your body parts more accessible and comfortable.

5. Bondage Bar

Strap in, this position gets a little kinky. Sit comfortably with your legs spread and strap yourself into some ankle cuffs with a spreader bar. It's super easy to get in and out of so it's oh-so-safe yet devilishly fun. Now go the hammer on yourself with your favourite vibrator. Not being able to close your legs while you cum is the sweetest torture of all.
