The idea that you have to have sex on Valentine’s Day is a myth. But if you are inspired to hit the sheets on February 14, either with yourself or a partner, we recommend doing it with one of the sex toys and accessories ahead. From a massage oil that stimulates your senses to a vibrator that intensifies with squeezing, these things can encourage a deeper connection with yourself or your partner, plus a sense of play — what every satisfying session needs. Oh, and really good orgasms.

pressure-vibrator
Free People

A vibrator that adjusts to pressure…

If thinking about pressing a button to switch the settings takes you out of the zone, this vibrator is for you. You can put it on auto pilot, so as you press harder, it increases the vibrations on its own. The sonic vibrations are both intense and gentle at the same time. ($149, Free People)

Dame

A hands-free vibrator that lets you and your partner move around freely...

We’re officially living in the future of sex toys. This genius vibrator stays in place during sex thanks to the two wings, while providing intense vibrations to the clitoris. No more holding toys in place while things are heating up. Pro tip: It’s waterproof. ($140, Dame)

candle
Maude

A mood-setting candle that doubles as massage oil…

This candle is fragrance-free, skin-safe, and made with jojoba and soybean oils, so when it melts down, you can pour the wax onto your partner for a sensual massage. The formula is specially designed to melt at a low temperature, so the oil won’t scald — it’ll just feel pleasantly warm. ($32, Maude)

squeeze-vibrator
Unbound Babes

A cute little vibrator you can control with a squeeze…

This cloud-shaped, external-only vibrator is made of the squishiest, silkiest silicone that feels like real skin. You can use it in two ways. The Haptic mode lets you control the intensity by squeezing it (the harder you squeeze, the stronger the vibrations), so you can go at your own pace and explore the intensity that feels good to you. Or, you can set it on one of the preset patterns and intensity levels. It’s perfect for people who don’t like internal toys, or for teasing a partner. Read our full review here. ($66, Unbound Babes)

Lelo

A vibrator that’ll help any couple step up their game…

One end of the vibrator can be inserted into you, while the other rests outside to massage the clitoris. As you go, all that power will be transferred to your partner during penetrative sex. To make sure you’re not distracted, the vibrator is remote-controlled. You’ll both be hands-free and focused on each other. ($126.75, Lelo)

A set of silky-soft handcuffs…

The cutest way to get a little kinky. There’s nothing intimidating about these handcuffs from Bellesa, from the soft lavender color to the silky material and pretty bow ties.

A simple vibrator great for beginners…
