A couples vibrator is a vibrator designed for use by a couple sometimes as part of intercourse. A couple can technically use any vibrator, but the toys categorized as "couple's vibrators" are designed to be used during partnered play - especially during intercourse.
The most iconic couple's vibrator design is a U-shaped toy. This toy is designed to be slid into the vagina. One end of the "U" stays outside the body for clitoral vibrations while the opposite side slides up against the g-spot for simultaneous pleasure. The g-spot end is slim enough to fit inside the vagina alongside a partner's penis or dildo for hands-free pleasure during intercourse.

Cock rings can also be considered couple's vibrators if any aspect of the toy is designed to pleasure the partner alongside the wearer.
As manufacturers continue to innovate, new shapes and designs are emerging the couple's vibrator category including toys that strap onto the length of the shaft, synchronized vibrations via a shared dildo, a penis vibrator that can be controlled by two individual remotes, and a hands-free clitoral vibrator designed to nestle between the labia for vibrations during intercourse.
A couples' vibrator may also be known as a couples' massager.
