Despite what pop culture and porn portray, 75 percent of women never orgasm from intercourse alone. Thankfully, sex toys specifically designed for female pleasure exist, and incorporating them during sex can seriously help close the pleasure gap. Bringing sex toys into partnered sex is something that isn’t talked about enough, but they can be a pretty seamless (and incredible) addition when coupled with toy-friendly sex positions. These sex positions make adding a toy easy. Meaning, they don’t require you to position yourself uncomfortably or awkwardly contort your body just to hold a vibrator against an erogenous zone. Whether you prefer a rabbit vibrator, a suction vibrator, a wand, or something in between, the 10 toy-friendly sex positions we’re sharing ahead can help make penetration even more pleasurable.

1. The Jackknife
Why this position works so well with toys
The jackknife offers a fresh take on missionary, where the receiver wraps one leg around the giver’s back. This slight adjustment dramatically alters the angle of penetration and makes it easier for the giver to go deep and precisely target the receiver’s G-spot. Because the bodies stay close together, it’s also an especially easy position for incorporating toys without disrupting the flow.

A hands-free vulva vibrator works particularly well in this position because it can rest comfortably against the labia throughout movement. The receiver can set their desired setting before getting into position, and enjoy the sensations as the giver penetrates them.
This flexible labia and vulva vibrator has four motors that send rippling sensations across the entire vulva. It also molds to your unique anatomy, so it stays in place during intercourse for hands-free play. The vibrations are powerful enough for the giver to feel, too, so both partners will experience heightened pleasure.
2. Business and Pleasure
Why this position works so well with toys
If you enjoy how penetration feels when you’re on top, this move is for you. While business and pleasure has you set up like you normally would for the standard cowgirl sex position (with the giver flat on their back and the receiver kneeling on top), it grants the giving partner control from the bottom. This frees up the receiver so they can simultaneously use a toy on external erogenous zones. If nipple play increases pleasure for the receiver, for example, a vibrator can up the ante.

Incorporating a wand vibrator provides dual stimulation and, because of this, can increase your chances of having an orgasm during penetration. More than that, though, your partner will get to watch you pleasure yourself with the wand as they penetrate you, which can feel incredibly empowering and turn you both on even more.
Designed for external pleasure, the Magic Wand Rechargeable vibrator has a super soft silicone head and a flexible neck that moves with your body. Better yet, it comes equipped with four vibrations and power levels. With a total of three hours of run time when fully charged, this toy is ideal for a quickie or marathon—your choice.
3. Suction Spooning
Why this position works so well with toys
Spooning is a side-lying sex position that places the giver behind the receiver. It’s ideal for slow, sensual intimacy, but the best part about the close contact is that the giving partner has ample access to the receiver’s erogenous zones. This means they can easily use a toy on their partner during penetration.

A gentle clitoral suction toy works beautifully here because it’ll mimic the feeling of oral sex without overwhelming intensity and move in tandem with the rhythm of penetration. It can also be used for nipple play. On top of allowing for a more gradual buildup to an orgasm, having the giver use the toy on the receiver will make the sex even hotter.
This clitoral massager boasts an extra-wide mouth and uses sonic wave technology to reduce intensity on the center of the clitoris and mimic the feeling of oral sex. Its eight settings progress in intensity, starting with a “teasing murmur” and ending in a “satisfying pulse,” so you can truly take your time and heighten your arousal.
4. Reverse Amazon
Why this position works so well with toys
The reverse amazon puts a twist on the classic amazon sex position by shifting the angle and giving the receiver more control over movement and depth. Because of the positioning, it’s also a great option for couples who want to experiment with anal play in a slower, more comfortable way. Many people find that incorporating anal stimulation can heighten overall sensation and make orgasms feel more intense, according to PubMed.

A beginner-friendly butt plug pairs especially well with this position because the slower pace and controlled movement can make anal play feel more approachable and comfortable. Be sure to use plenty of lubricant and start slowly to help the experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable.
This vibrating anal plug is made from body-safe silicone and boasts an ergonomic shape that makes insertion easier for novices and beginners alike. Plus, it has up to six different vibration modes (four manual options and six from the LELO app) and eight adjustable intensities that’ll magnify pleasure and sensations during partnered sex.
5. Love Seat
Why this position works so well with toys
The love seat is a fun variation of a seated sex position that keeps both partners close together, making it ideal for hands-free toys and full-body contact. Because the receiver sits directly in the giver’s lap, there’s plenty of pressure and friction to help intensify internal and external stimulation at the same time.

Because this positioning calls for skin-on-skin contact, inserting a couple’s vibrator will bring both you and your partner to euphoria. Couples vibrators are essentially wearable internal vibrators that target the G-spot and clitoris. When you’re wearing one during partnered sex, the giver can feel the vibrations when they’re inside of you, too.
Made with an adjustable fit, this internal vibrator has 10 intensity levels and can be controlled with an app, so you don’t have to worry about removing it to change the vibration during intercourse.
6. Doggy Treat
Why this position works so well with toys
In traditional doggy style, the receiver kneels on all fours while the giver kneels behind them, holds onto their partner’s hips, and enters from behind. This variation simply levels up the traditional doggy position by having either the giver or receiver stimulate the receiver’s external genitalia with a toy during penetration.

A personal massager will gently stimulate the clitoris and vulva in a way that complements the position’s ultra-deep penetration rather than overpowering it. Not only will this heighten sensations all around, but it will also increase the receiver’s chances of having an internal orgasm.
The Aura has everything you could want in a personal massager. The toy offers a gentle heating mode and multiple massage, suction, and vibration modes that can all be paired together or used alone, allowing for endless ways to play.
7. Vibrating Lotus
Why this position works so well with toys
In the traditional lotus sex position, the giver sits cross-legged while the receiver sits in their lap, facing them with their legs wrapped around their back or waist. The vibrating lotus modifies this move slightly by having the giver hold a toy against the receiver’s clitoris. This naturally encourages slower grinding, rocking, and hip movement—all of which pair especially well with external vibration.

A metal vibrator works especially well in this position because the weighted feel and cool-to-the-touch material create a different sensory experience during close-body contact. If you’ve ever tried temperature play, you know how intense that can feel (in a good way!). The firm pressure can also make clitoral stimulation feel more precise and intense while maintaining the intimacy of the position.
This G-spot vibrator comes with an egg-shaped tip that doubles beautifully as a targeted clitoral stimulator. Plus, the toy can safely be immersed in warm or cool water if you want to experiment with temperature play.
8. The Cross
Why this position works so well with toys
In the cross, the giver lies on their side while the receiver lies perpendicular, aligning their hips and draping their legs on top of their partner’s so their body is making a T-shape. Then, the giver holds onto the receiver’s hips and enters. In this case, the receiver does minimal work, which leaves them free to focus on controlling rhythm, pressure, and sensation with a toy at the same time.

A finger vibrator pairs especially well with this position because it gives the receiver full control over clitoral stimulation without limiting movement or comfort. Since the toy stays securely on the hand, it’s easy to adjust pressure, speed, and placement.
This lipstick vibrator is discreet enough to travel with yet powerful enough to deliver intense, satisfying orgasms. It boasts 10 vibration functions and up to two hours of total run time, so you can find your perfect groove during partnered sex and indulge for as long as you want to.
9. Best Seat in the House
Why this position works so well with toys
In this seated sex position, the giving partner sits in a chair while the receiving partner straddles their lap, facing away from them with their legs on either side of their partner’s thighs. On top of offering better, more precise G-spot stimulation and deeper penetration, this move also makes it super easy for either the giver or the receiver to simultaneously stimulate the clitoris with a toy.

While any toy works here, a classic rabbit vibrator will really get the job done. After all, the rabbit is versatile AF and offers a variety of stimulation methods. You and your partner can experiment together and find what feels most pleasurable.
This rabbit vibrator features seven vibrating speeds and patterns and four “come-hither” patterns, so it offers versatile methods of stimulation and variety of ways to play.
10. Spoon Swoon
Why this position works so well with toys
The spoon swoon has both partners lie on their sides facing each other, with the receiver’s top leg lifted and resting on top of their partner’s. Once in position, the giver can then hold on to their partner’s hips or waist and enter. The beauty of this position is that it offers face-to-face intimacy and close physical contact while leaving enough room for an external toy to be brought into the mix.

In this case, an external personal massager or bullet vibrator will intensify the position. On top of offering simultaneous stimulation on the receiver’s erogenous zones, the positioning makes it easy for the giver to feel the vibrations, too. This, in turn, will heighten arousal for both partners and ultimately transform the experience.
With a realistically shaped head and tapered tip, this tiny vibrator seriously packs a punch by offering targeted stimulation exactly where you want it. And with 10 vibration speeds and patterns and a body made of smooth silicone, this toy will glide effortlessly with you and your partner as you play.
