You've been curious. Maybe you've scrolled past a product page, read a review, or had a friend casually mention how a couples' massager changed their relationship dynamic. And now you're here, wondering how to actually make it work — not just mechanically, but in a way that's fun, comfortable, and genuinely enhances your connection with your partner.

The truth is, using a couples' massager isn't complicated. But there's a difference between just using one and having a great experience with one. The difference comes down to communication, curiosity, and a willingness to laugh together when things don't go exactly as planned (because sometimes they won't, and that's perfectly fine).

This guide covers everything from choosing the right product together to making the most of every feature, so both of you walk away from the experience wanting to do it again.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Couples' Massager

Choose the Right Product Together

The first step happens well before the bedroom. Sit down with your partner — on the couch, over chai, wherever you're both relaxed — and browse your options together. This isn't a surprise gift situation. When both partners are involved in the selection, it creates buy-in, builds excitement, and ensures you're choosing something that appeals to both of you.

Consider what kind of experience you're looking for. Do you want something that stimulates both partners simultaneously during intimacy? A C-shaped wearable massager is designed exactly for this. Do you want something where one partner controls the experience for the other? A remote-controlled or app-controlled massager gives you that dynamic. Are you looking for something to use during foreplay and exploration? A versatile external massager works beautifully for couples' play.

Talk openly about what sounds exciting and what might feel like too much for a first experience. There's no wrong answer — the right product is the one you're both curious about.

Get Comfortable Before You Start

When your product arrives, don't feel pressured to use it immediately. Take it out of the packaging together, read through the instructions, charge it fully, and familiarise yourselves with the controls. Turn it on, feel the vibrations on your hand, cycle through the patterns. Knowing what the buttons do before you're in the moment prevents fumbling and frustration later.

Set the scene. Make sure the room is warm, comfortable, and private. Put your phones on silent. If it helps, dim the lights or light a candle. The more relaxed you both are, the better the experience will be. Rushing through it because you're nervous will make it less enjoyable for everyone.

Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant. This is non-negotiable — silicone massagers need lubrication to glide comfortably against skin. A water-based formula is the safest choice since it won't damage the silicone material of your product.

Start Slow and Communicate Constantly

Begin with the lowest vibration setting. Seriously — even if it seems too gentle, start there. You can always increase the intensity, but starting too high can be overwhelming and take you out of the moment. Use the massager on external areas first, exploring together where the vibrations feel best.

Talk to each other. This doesn't mean a clinical running commentary — it means natural check-ins. "Does that feel good?" "Should I move it here?" "Want me to turn it up?" A simple "mmm" or a guiding hand is communication too. The goal is for both of you to feel heard and involved.

For C-shaped wearable massagers designed for simultaneous use: one end is designed to rest against the clitoral area externally while the other is inserted. It may take a few tries to find the positioning that works for your bodies. Be patient with this process — every couple's anatomy is different, and the angle that works is something you discover together.

Take Turns With Control

One of the most exciting aspects of a couples' massager — especially one with a remote or app control — is the ability to hand control to your partner. There's something deeply intimate about trusting someone else with your pleasure. It shifts the dynamic from "using a product" to "sharing an experience."

Try taking turns. Let one partner control the vibration patterns and intensity while the other simply receives and guides with feedback. Then switch. You might discover that one of you loves being in control while the other prefers to surrender to the sensations — or you might find you enjoy alternating.

With the MyMuse Dive's remote control or the MyMuse Sync app, the controlling partner can change patterns without any physical interruption, keeping the flow of the experience unbroken. This is where things get really playful — especially when the controlling partner starts to tease with unexpected pattern changes.

Keep It Fun — Release the Pressure to Be Perfect

Here's the most important thing nobody tells you: your first time using a couples' massager probably won't be the mind-blowing experience you're imagining. And that's completely okay. The product might slip out of position. You might hit the wrong button and blast the vibrations to maximum unexpectedly. One of you might start laughing, and then both of you are laughing, and suddenly the mood has shifted entirely.

This is all normal. Great experiences with intimate wellness products are built over time, as you learn what works for your unique bodies and preferences. The couples who have the best time with these products are the ones who approach them with curiosity and humour rather than performance pressure.

Think of the first few sessions as exploration, not a test. Every time you use it, you'll learn something new — a better angle, a pattern you didn't expect to enjoy, a way of holding it that changes everything. That ongoing discovery is part of what makes it exciting.

Pro Tip: After using your massager, debrief with your partner. Not in a formal way — just casually mention what you enjoyed, what you'd like to try differently, and what surprised you. These conversations deepen intimacy far beyond what any product can do on its own, and they make every subsequent experience better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will introducing a massager make my partner feel replaced or inadequate?

This is one of the most common concerns, and it's worth addressing directly. A couples' massager is an addition to your intimate life, not a replacement for anything. Frame it as something you want to experience together — "I want to try this with you" is very different from "I need this." Most partners, once they experience the shared pleasure, quickly understand that the product enhances what you already have.

How do we clean a couples' massager?

Clean your massager after every use with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap, or a dedicated product cleanser. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry with a lint-free cloth, and store in a clean pouch or case. If your massager is waterproof (most MyMuse products are), you can rinse it under running water. Never submerge the charging port area if it's not rated for full submersion.

What lubricant should I use with a silicone massager?

Always use a water-based lubricant with silicone massagers. Silicone-based lubricants can degrade silicone products over time, making them sticky, porous, and unsafe. Water-based formulas are compatible with all body-safe materials and are easy to clean off both your body and your product.

What if we try it and don't enjoy it?

That's completely valid. Not every product works for every couple, and preferences are deeply personal. Give it a few tries before deciding — the first experience is often about learning the product, not peak enjoyment. If after several attempts it's not for you, that's okay. You've learned something about your preferences, which is valuable in itself.

Can we use a couples' massager with condoms?

Yes. Body-safe silicone massagers are compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Just make sure you're using water-based lubricant (not oil-based, which degrades latex). The combination of a massager, condom, and water-based lube is perfectly safe.
