⚡ Quick Verdict
Best overall for couples: Dame Products, well-designed, body-safe pleasure products built specifically with partnered sex in mind.
Best for comfort and reducing friction, literally: BEEJ, a personal lubricant brand that solves one of the most common, least-discussed barriers to enjoyable sex.
Best for pelvic floor health: Biird, guided pelvic floor trainers that support a body system most couples never think about until something feels off.
Bottom line: the best product for your relationship is the one you will both actually use and talk about honestly. Start with whichever barrier feels most relevant to you right now: connection, comfort, or body confidence.
In session, sexual wellness comes up far more often than people expect, usually framed as a communication issue, a body image issue, or a scheduling issue. Sometimes what actually helps is a practical, well-made product that removes a physical barrier so the emotional and relational work has room to happen. This guide covers three categories I recommend often: pleasure products designed for couples, lubricant, and pelvic floor health.
At a Glance: Comparison Table
Dame Products | Couples’ pleasure products | roughly $60 to $135 | Connection and shared pleasure | Body-safe silicone, straightforward design | Best for: couples wanting to explore together
BEEJ | Personal lubricant | roughly $15 to $30 | Comfort, reduced friction and pain | Clean ingredient lists, various formulas | Best for: anyone experiencing dryness or discomfort during sex
Biird | Pelvic floor trainer | roughly $100 to $150 | Pelvic floor strength and awareness | App-guided sessions, biofeedback | Best for: postpartum recovery, incontinence concerns, or general pelvic floor health
Dame Products: Best Overall for Couples
Dame Products designs pleasure products specifically with couples and partnered sex in mind, not as an afterthought to solo use. The company was founded to fill a gap in a market that mostly ignored female pleasure and product safety, and it shows in the materials, the design, and the straightforward, non-clinical way they talk about sex. For couples who want to add something new without a steep learning curve, their beginner-friendly designs are a reasonable place to start.
Best for: couples who want to explore together and value body-safe materials and thoughtful design. Price: roughly $60 to $135 depending on the product.
Therapist rating: 4.5 out of 5. Pros: body-safe silicone, genuinely designed for partnered use, approachable branding that reduces awkwardness. Cons: higher price point than drugstore alternatives; like any new product, it works best alongside an honest conversation about what you both actually want to try.
Why we chose it: it treats couples’ pleasure as a design problem worth solving well, not an afterthought.
BEEJ: Best for Comfort and Reducing Friction
BEEJ makes personal lubricants with clean, clearly listed ingredients, which matters more than people realize. Vaginal and vulvar tissue is sensitive, and a lot of mainstream lubricants contain glycerin, parabens, or warming and tingling additives that can cause irritation or throw off natural pH. Discomfort during sex is one of the most under-reported issues I hear about in session, often because people assume it is just how sex is supposed to feel. It usually is not, and the right lubricant solves more of this than people expect.
Best for: anyone dealing with dryness, friction, or discomfort during sex, including perimenopausal and menopausal women. Price: roughly $15 to $30.
Therapist rating: 4.5 out of 5. Pros: clean ingredient lists, multiple formulas for different needs, genuinely reduces a common physical barrier to enjoyable sex. Cons: finding the right formula can take some trial and error; a lubricant will not resolve pain that has a medical cause and needs a doctor’s evaluation.
Why we chose it: it addresses a widely underreported physical barrier with a genuinely well-formulated, low-cost product.
Biird: Best for Pelvic Floor Health
Biird offers app-guided pelvic floor trainers that use biofeedback to show you, in real time, whether you’re actually engaging the right muscles. Pelvic floor strength affects sexual sensation, continence, and postpartum recovery, but most people have never been taught how to feel or train these muscles correctly. I recommend this category often for postpartum clients and anyone noticing changes in sensation, bladder control, or comfort during sex.
Best for: postpartum recovery, mild incontinence concerns, or anyone wanting objective feedback on pelvic floor strength. Price: roughly $100 to $150.
Therapist rating: 4 out of 5. Pros: real biofeedback instead of guessing, app-guided sessions make consistency easier, addresses a genuinely under-discussed health area. Cons: higher upfront cost; not a substitute for a pelvic floor physical therapist if you have significant pain or dysfunction.
Why we chose it: it makes an invisible, often-ignored body system visible and trainable.
How We Evaluated
These recommendations reflect a combination of clinical experience discussing sexual wellness with clients, review of each brand’s materials and safety information, and desk research into product safety standards for intimate products. I prioritized body-safe materials, clear ingredient transparency, and products designed with real anatomy and real couples in mind, rather than novelty.
What to Look For
For pleasure products, look for body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone, and avoid anything with unclear or proprietary material blends. For lubricant, check the ingredient list for glycerin, parabens, and warming or flavored additives if you have sensitive tissue, and match the formula (water-based, silicone-based) to your needs. For pelvic floor tools, prioritize ones with actual biofeedback or guided programs over ones that are just a passive weighted device.
Safety and Limitations
None of these products diagnose or treat a medical condition. Persistent pain during sex, significant changes in sensation, or pelvic floor dysfunction with pain should be evaluated by a doctor or pelvic floor physical therapist, not managed with a product alone. If you are pregnant, postpartum, or managing a specific medical condition, check with your provider before starting a new pelvic floor training program. Always check ingredient lists for personal allergies or sensitivities before trying a new lubricant.
Alternatives and Who Should Avoid These
If cost is the main barrier, a basic water-based lubricant from a drugstore is far better than none, even if it is not the specific brand featured here. If pain during sex is significant or has lasted more than a few weeks, skip self-directed products for now and see a doctor or pelvic floor physical therapist first; a product is not a substitute for ruling out a medical cause. If either partner is not genuinely on board with introducing something new, that conversation needs to happen before any product does.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we bring up trying something new without it feeling awkward?
Bring it up outside the bedroom, in a low-pressure moment, and frame it as curiosity rather than a complaint about what is currently happening. Something like, I saw this and thought it looked interesting, want to look at it together, tends to land better than a suggestion made in the moment. Our guide on How to Improve Communication in a Relationship has more scripts like this.
Is it normal to need lubricant even when things feel fine emotionally?
Yes. Natural lubrication varies with hormones, medications, stress, breastfeeding, and age, and it is not a reflection of desire or attraction. Many people benefit from added lubricant regardless of how connected or aroused they feel.
When should pelvic floor concerns go beyond a training app?
If you notice pain, significant leakage, a sense of pressure or bulging, or symptoms that are not improving after several weeks of consistent training, see a pelvic floor physical therapist. Apps and trainers are a good starting point, not a ceiling on care.
