What are Lesbian Sex Toys – and What Do Lesbian Couples Really Need?

What are Lesbian Sex Toys?

Lesbian Sex Toys are sex toys designed or particularly suitable for use between two women. The category includes strap-on dildos, vibrators, butt plugs, double dildos, and masturbators – but the centerpiece is the strap-on: a dildo with a harness that allows for hands-free penetrative movements. Lesbian sex toys are not a niche category – they are a complete range for anyone who wants to experience penetrative sex between two women.

What Do Lesbian Couples Really Need?

The honest answer: it depends on individual preference. Not all lesbian couples want penetrative sex – and not all who want penetrative sex need a strap-on. But for those who wish to explore penetration as part of their sexuality, a platinum silicone strap-on is the most versatile and hygienically safest choice. This guide explains the available options and how to make the right choice.

Strap-On: The Core Product for Lesbian Couples

Why is a Strap-On the Most Important Lesbian Sex Toy?

A strap-on allows for penetrative sex between two women – vaginally or anally – without external aids. The harness secures the dildo to the wearer's hips, and penetration occurs through pelvic movements, similar to penetrative sex. The result: an experience that cannot be replicated with hands or other toys – physical closeness, eye contact, simultaneous stimulation of both partners.

What is the Difference Between a Strap-On and a Strapless Strap-On?

Classic Strap-On (Harness + Dildo): Harness with O-ring attachment, separate dildo. More stable, easier to handle, recommended for beginners. The dildo can be changed – various sizes and shapes with one harness.

Strapless Strap-On: No harness – the dildo is held in place by an internal bulb in the wearer's vagina. Allows for simultaneous stimulation of both partners. More challenging to handle – requires strong pelvic floor muscles. For advanced users.

Material & Safety: Why Platinum Silicone is Crucial for Lesbian Sex Toys

Why is Platinum Silicone Particularly Important for Lesbian Sex Toys?

Lesbian sex toys are often used by both partners – vaginally or anally. This means the toy comes into contact with two different people. With porous materials (TPE, PVC), bacteria can permanently embed themselves in the surface – complete sterilization between partners is impossible. This poses a serious hygiene risk during shared use.

Platinum silicone is non-porous and fully sterilizable – boil it, put it in the dishwasher, or use 70% isopropyl alcohol. Complete sterilization between partners is possible with platinum silicone, but not with TPE. Learn more about material comparison in our article Platinum Silicone vs. TPE: What's the Difference in Sex Toys?

Condoms with Lesbian Sex Toys?

For maximum hygiene during partner use: put a condom on the dildo and change it between partners – even with platinum silicone. This is the safest method if complete sterilization is not possible between uses. Platinum silicone is compatible with latex condoms.

Communication & Getting Started: What Lesbian Couples Should Know

How Do Lesbian Couples Talk About Strap-On Sex?

Openly and without pressure. Strap-on sex is new territory for many lesbian couples – and that's completely normal. Important questions beforehand: Who wants to take the dominant role? Who wants to be penetrated? What size is comfortable? Which positions? Agree on a safe word. Communication is more important than technique.

What Size is Suitable for Getting Started?

Smaller than you think. For beginners: 15–17 cm length, 3.5–4 cm diameter. The harness changes the perception of size – what seems manageable without a harness can be more intense with one. Plenty of lubricant is a must – more on this in our Lubricant Guide.

Which Positions are Suitable for Strap-On Sex Between Women?

Missionary Position: Maximum control over depth and pace, eye contact, easy for beginners. Doggy Style: Deeper penetration, less eye contact, more intense stimulation. Riding: The penetrated person controls the pace and depth themselves – ideal for beginners who want to maintain control.

FAQ: Lesbian Sex Toys – The Honest Answers

What are the Best Sex Toys for Lesbian Couples?

For couples seeking penetration: a platinum silicone strap-on dildo with a harness. For simultaneous stimulation of both partners: a strap-on butt plug or a strapless strap-on. For those who want to explore without penetration: vibrators and butt plugs. The best toy is the one that suits the preferences of both partners.

Do Lesbian Couples Need a Strap-On?

No – but a strap-on is the most versatile toy for lesbian couples who want to explore penetration. Not all lesbian couples want penetrative sex – and that's completely normal. A strap-on is an option, not a requirement.

What Size is Suitable for Starting with a Strap-On?

For beginners: 15–17 cm length, 3.5–4 cm diameter. Smaller than you might think – the harness changes the perception of size. Communication with your partner about comfort and pace is more important than size.

How Do You Clean Platinum Silicone Lesbian Sex Toys?

After each use: warm water and mild soap. Complete sterilization between partners: boil (10 minutes), dishwasher (60–70°C), or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively: use a condom and change it between partners.

Which Lubricant for Platinum Silicone Lesbian Sex Toys?

Only water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricant damages platinum silicone. Use generously – especially for the first time and for anal use.

What is the Difference Between a Strap-On and a Strapless Strap-On?

A classic strap-on has a harness – stable, easy to handle, recommended for beginners. A strapless strap-on has no harness – the dildo is held in place by an internal bulb in the wearer's vagina. Allows for simultaneous stimulation of both partners, but is more challenging to handle.
