Sex furniture is a great option for those looking for easier positioning — whether due to mobility issues or anyone just looking to kink it up and try something new. You may have heard of sex swings, sex benches, and sex pillows before, but you maybe haven't heard about sex stools — aka sex chairs with a hole, or gap created by two bands, in them for penetration.

"Sex stools were initially created as a tool to help women with mobility issues have sex in cowgirl positions," explains Katherin Winnick, sex coach at LetsTalkSex.net. The modified design of these stools allow a user to sit, while being penetrated through an opening in the seat. This design can help reduce weight and discomfort on the knees for a feeling of so-called "weightless sex," Winnick says. "Over the years [sex stools] have evolved and are now considered a piece of BDSM furniture and often used in conjunction with dildos during solo play allowing women to enjoy hands-free masturbation without getting too tired," Winnick also notes.

When shopping for sex stools, Winnick says to should pay attention to the flexibility of the bands. Stiffer (usually plastic) bands are better if you need serious support or are looking for a sex stool due to a mobility issue or injury, while softer, elastic bands are more for novelty. Each material will have pros and cons, Winnick says. While plastic bands are stiffer and easier to clean, Winnick says these can stick to your skin. Cotton and polyester bands are also common, and while these are softer on the skin, they are more of a pain to clean and won't give you as much support. If you have the option, Winnick recommends buying a stool that allows for different, interchangeable bands of varying degrees of flexibility.

With those in mind, here are a few of the best sex stools to consider.

This steel sex stool supports up to 300 lbs. and can be taken apart for discreet storage, which is great. This model uses uses clear plastic bands, so you can expect it to be more on the supportive side of things. Because of the tubular design, you could also theoretically slip other cotton or polyester elastic bands on the stool, should you want more flexibility — although the manufacturer doesn't say anything about that in the description, so try it at your own risk!

If you're looking for a sex chair with softer bands, this stool uses heavy-duty elastic rather than the hard plastic above. It can also hold up to 150 kg of weight, which is a bit over 330 lbs. Like the first option, this one also disassembles easily for discreet storage. Another bonus is that the tubular metal framing is covered in squishy foam for even more comfort.

If you want a sex stool that's more for queening than cowgirl, this faux leather stool from Lovehoney boasts a five-star rating. Even though the design is a bit different than the previous two, this stool can still be a great option for those who have mobility issues, as one reviewer mentioned. Rather than two strips of material holding you up, this one has a circular hole in the seat. It comes pre-assembled (be warned, it's supposed to be pretty heavy), and has two seat surfaces for different options. While you can't disassemble it and stash it as easily, it does seem that you can flip one of the seat covers over to turn the stool into an inconspicuous ottoman or foot rest. There are also four loops in the corners that you can attach cuffs or restraints to for bondage play.

The Lelo Sona uses mighty vibration to hit your clitoris deeeeep into the nerve endings you might not otherwise be able to reach. It's so good, in fact, one of our editors said it gave her a "totally new type of orgasm." Good luck resisting this one. 

This silicone clitoral vibrator might not look like much, but trust—it's actually amazing. The cupped tip fits perfectly over your vulva, and it won't get in the way with a partner (yes, even during intercourse). The toy also features rumbly waves (no cheap buzzy vibrations here) that are so powerful, you'll wonder how you ever had sex without it. 

Where regs Rabbit-style vibrators (meaning: they have both internal and external stimulators) just vibrate and shake in place, the Lelo Ina Wave actually moves back and forth in a come-hither motion for a sensation so realistic, it feels like actual intercourse, but better. It's also rechargeable and waterproof, so it's perfect for solo bath or shower fun.

This 24kt gold necklace not only looks chic, it's also a very strong bullet vibe. It has an easy, one-button turn-on feature, and the charge lasts forever. Unsuspecting people will have no idea that it's actually your NSFW plaything, but you'll probably want to wear it all the time anyways because it's so damn pretty.
