Masturbation can be amazing; partnered sex can be incredible. Add a sex toy (or several!) to either and, well, in a word, WOW!
It's not always that simple, though. Finding the right position for analog sex can be challenging enough -- let alone when you bring your gadgets into the mix!
As luck would have it, Kinkly hosts one of the largest databases of sex positions on the web -- and we've put together this list of the most awesomely arousing ones that work especially well with sex toys.
Before we get going, a note on the toys mentioned: We've selected an assortment of body safe sex toys and matched them with various positions. But you don't have to use the toys mentioned with their respective positions. (You don't have to do anything!) We're all different; your favorite toy might be someone else's least fave. Fortunately, the world of sex toys is wide! Explore and find the perfect toys to fit your preferences and budget.

Something to bear in mind with many of these positions: Butt plugs and prostate stimulators can be worn by the partner doing the penetrating and, in the case of vaginal intercourse, by receiving partners too. Folks with penises can also incorporate cock rings.
In addition, for penetrating partners who are wearing strap-ons, Sportsheets is a great pick for your first harness, even offering a kit that includes two silicone dildos.
Now, let’s look at some fun sex positions with sex toys to try out when you want to raid your toy box!
Arguably the oldest and all-time most popular type of sex toy, dildos have come a long way since our ancient ancestors (probably) gazed longingly at an excitingly shaped vegetable, polished length of very hard wood or used clay to craft something other than a pot.
Whether a state-of-the-art, smarter-than-smart sextech marvel or merely a satisfyingly phallic shape, here are some fun and exciting positions that'll take using this legendary sex toy to new levels:
Laying on one's back is a great way to help relax the body, which is essential for pleasure. If the receiving partner has a built-in penis, this is a great position in which to provide pleasure using your hands or a stroker, like the Tenga Spinner. If the receiving partner doesn't have a penis, you might try stroking a dildo inserted into a strap-on harness equipped with BumpHer for added clitoral stimulation.
The Mesmerthighs Position also allows for chest or nipple stimulation and won't strain your or your partner's back.

Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: VeDO Grip, Tenga EGG.
For folks with vulvas: Blush Dr. Skin Lucas, Sportsheets Skyn Silicone dildos.
Fans of larger dildos will like this next position, as it's much easier to ease yourself down onto one than trying to wrangle it while laying on your back. The Hole Lot of Love Position uses the magic of a sex toy mount, like the Liberator Tula in the illustration above, to keep your dildo in place while you ride off into the sunset. And what's more, if you're penetrating yourself anally in this position, that leaves your genitals open for dual stimulation!
The only downside to the Hole Lot of Love Position is your dildo will need a big enough base to stand upright and be equipped with a suction cup or some other anchor point. Practically made for this position is the study, stable, and, most of all, extremely exciting FemmeFunn Vortex Wireless Turbo Rabbit.
Other great toy pics for this position:
For folks with penises: Your favorite penis vibrator or masturbation sleeve.
For folks with vulvas: WeVibe Melt, Satisfyer Pro 2, b-Vibe Triplet Anal Beads.
If your bedroom, bathroom, or -- if you're lucky enough to have one -- playroom wall is smooth enough, how about affixing a suction-cup dildo the right height to back yourself onto it? One of the best toys for this type of play is the Evolved Big Shot Vibrating Squirting Dildo.
This will look a lot like the Lion's Roar Position, only the in-behind partner will be replaced by a sturdy, vertical surface.
This position is just as hot with a human partner, too! If that's the route you're taking, consider making this Doggy Style variation easier with a strap, like the Plus Size Doggie Strap from Sportsheets. This can be especially useful for receiving partners in large bodies.

Whether you're practicing your Lion's Roar alone or with a partner, this position leaves whatever you're not penetrating ripe and open for stimulation!
Other great toy pics for this position:
For folks with penises: Fun Factory NŌS, Fun Factory Cobra Libre 2.
For folks with vulvas: Dame Eva II, We-Vibe Chorus.
There’s a whole market devoted to “couples'” toys (Spoiler alert: couples can use ANY toy!) and if there is any position in which these toys can really shine, it's Missionary.
Especially when engaging in vaginal intercourse, couples' vibrators that boast the ability to fit neatly between partners can be brought out. Also, vibrating cock rings get a chance to shine here. In the image above, our couple is getting comfy with a Liberator Ramp and getting ready to roll with the We-Vibe Unite couples' vibrator.
Other great toy picks for this position:
To add a little variety to your missionary adventure, take it upright with the Standing Missionary Position or switch it up with the Reverse Missionary Position!
This unique take on Doggy Style creates more space to add a sex toy (or two) into the mix. And if the penetrating partner doesn't come with a built-in penis, our fan-favorite Sportsheets Strap-On & Silicone Dildo Set can make this position accessible!
For the receiver, the Stand Down Position can mean everything from playing with a massager to slipping a vibrator on their clitoris or penis. You might even try adding a vibrating cock ring to pleasure both partners simultaneously!
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: We-Vibe Tango X.
Elevated Oral is a super fun position in which to incorporate toys because of the sheer range of possibilities. That's because elevating the receiving partner's hips makes the partner on the giving end able to get at them without leaning all their weight into their arms so their hands are free for toy use!
This provides a great opportunity for g-spot teasing and intense shaft pleasing. In the image above, the couple is making use of the Liberator Ramp and the We-Vibe Rave.
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy (its open end makes it ideal for shaft stimulation during fellatio).
For folks with vulvas: We-Vibe Rave, Dame Arc, Hot Octopuss Kurve.
The Head Rest Position is a fun sex position for pleasing the person who is pleasing you! The setup makes it easy to use a toy on your partner while they provide you with oral stimulation. Fun, right? The couple above is making use of Magic Wand Rechargeable.

For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: We-Vibe Touch, We-Vibe Wand, We-Vibe Melt.
Stretching out on your back is fine and all, but for anal or vaginal penetration toys -- like with the myriad pleasures the Lovense Gush has to offer -- flipping 180 degrees onto your stomach in the Tummy Time Position can unlock new worlds of pleasure.
Fans of this position like how comfortable it is -- and love how they can lift one leg for easier access.
This might make it tough for folks with penises to stroke themselves off, but it does expose the butt and relax the body for ultra-easy anal play. Do with that information what you wish.

For folks with penises: We-Vibe Vector, Lovense Edge 2, Nexus Stimul8.
For folks with vulvas: WeVibe Melt, Dame Zee, FemmeFunn Dioni.
We know what you're thinking: There are two people in that image. Stay with us!
Steamy times (pun intended) can be had in the Slippery Missionary Position whether you're playing partnered or solo. Though, heed a few provisos:
From there, the possibilities are pretty much endless! Grab your favorite toy and get dirty (while you get clean).
Some of our favorite toys for this position:
For folks with penises: Bathmade HydroMax Penis Pump, Tenga Spinner.
For folks with vulvas: Waterslyde Bathtub Water Diverter, Satisfyer Pro 2.
For everyone: Glas Double Penetration Kit, Sportsheets Nipple Suckers.
If you have a very sensitive clitoris and/or like broad stimulation between your legs, the Horseless Rider Position is pretty much made for you. What's more, it's bananas versatile -- all you need is a pillow, a vibrator and a pair of underwear!
Simply scrunch up your pillow until it's at a density you like, slip the vibrator into your underwear and get busy. Any old pillow will do, but if this is your go-to, the Liberator Humphrey is an ultra-firm pillow designed to be ridden -- and it even comes with a mount in case you'd like to add some penetration!
Great toy picks for this position include:
The Scissoring Position is a long-held favorite for those who love frottage.
If penetration's on the table, though, double-ended dildos can allow both partners to synchronize their strokes. None's better for this position than the Glas Double Trouble. Have both parties sit with their groins toward one another with a double-ended sex toy between them. Pushing, shoving, pulling or you name it, this position makes mutual penetration less annoying and way more satisfying.
Other great sex toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: Gender X Rocketeer, We-Vibe Vector+.
For folks with vulvas: Glas Double Pleasure Set, We-Vibe Tango X.
Though it may take a bit of maneuvering, having one partner's posterior on top of their partner's groin -- maybe or maybe not involving penetration -- as the top person plays with a sex toy has a lot going for it. The nu Sensuelle Trinitii 3-in-1 Tongue Suction Vibe is an excellent choice for the clit-equipped or for those who love playing with those who have them.

Bonus points because the Scoring Position is one of, if not the most easy-going, comfortable, positions on this list -- at least for the penetrating partner. The receiving partner will need to have strong knees to make this work. But the fact that their genitals are left pretty much wide open for stimulation (hopefully) makes up for it.

For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: WeVibe Touch, We-Vibe Tango X.
Doggy Style creates so much great access for incorporating toys! There's lots of room to apply a vibrator to your partner’s clitoris or perineum, ample room for the receiving partner to use a stroker -- there’s just a lot of fun to be had here! In the image above, one partner is pleasing themselves with a Magic Wand Rechargeable vibe.

For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: WeVibe Touch, We-Vibe Tango X.
Laying side by side in the Spoon Position is relaxing, arousing and so very hot. But adding a spoonful of sex toy deliciousness takes it up several notches! Strap-ons, clit massagers, prostate or g-spot toys … the list goes on and on -- and each and every one can bring something special to this position. In the image above, these lovers are playing with the LELO MONA 2.
I personally love this position when combined with the awesome vibrating power of the FemmeFunn Booster Rabbit.
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: Magic Wand Rechargeable, WeVibe Touch.
The Champagne Room position has some of the same benefits as the Spoon position with the added appeal of being a bit more active for the receiving partner. Here, the receiving partner can control more of the action and is ideally placed to use a toy on themselves. In this image, the receiving partner is getting ready to use the Womanizer Liberty 2.
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: Magic Wand Rechargeable, WeVibe Touch.
Magic Mountain and similar sex positions that place the receiving partner directly against furniture (bed, couch, counter, cat tree -- whatever, it’s your thing) are great because they allow you to really wedge a toy in place, making toy use mostly effortless (I won’t lie, things slide around, you may have to do a little toy position maintenance).
In the illustration above, the couple is reaching for the a clitoral vibrator akin to the Clandestine Mimic Plus or Wildflower Enby 2. (You know where it's supposed to go - we just couldn't figure out how to draw it that way!)
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with vulvas: Magic Wand Rechargeable, WeVibe Touch.
Afternoon Delight is a fun sex position precisely because it's a little awkward. You have to slow things down to make this one work, and that makes it great for putting some toys to work. Plus, it offers a great view of your partner -- whichever end you are on! In the image above, one partner is holding the We-Vibe Touch clitoral vibrator.
Other great toy picks for this position:
For folks with penises: bSwish bHandy.
For folks with clitorises: Magic Wand Rechargeable, We-Vibe Touch X, Womanizer Liberty 2
