What is a Long-Distance Sex Toy?
In a LDR and looking for ways to keep the heat, well, hot? Well then allow us to introduce you to the world of long-distance sex toys. These techy toys can often be connected to an app via Bluetooth, so you or your partner can control their functionality from afar. Available in a wide range of designs, they can add an interactive and intimate element to your sex life when you're physically separated, and can also be played with solo when the mood strikes.
Types of Long-Distance Sex Toys
Don't worry about being relegated to a single design when it comes to long-distance sex toys. The options are nearly endless: There are clitoral vibrators and suction toys, G-spot and rabbit vibrators, wearable toys, prostate massagers and more. Yes, and all these babies really boast app-controlled, long-distance-friendly capabilities!
Benefits of Sex Toys in Long-Distance Relationships
Besides, you know, orgasms, long-distance sex toys can bring a lot to long-distance relationships and help strengthen your connection. As AASECT-certified sex therapist and LELO resident sex expert Casey Tanner explains, "Long-distance phone sex or sexting can feel like co-masturbating without much intimacy—particularly if it's the only kind of sex you have available for long stretches of time. Long-distance sex paired with interactive toys can help partners manage isolation and loneliness, and build anticipation until you finally are reunited in person."
"Utilizing long-distance sex toys can also help partners build communication about sex, boundaries and desires," Tanner adds. "Often, folks in long-distance relationships feel behind when as it relates to sexual exploration. But with long-distance sex toys, exploration can be accessed from a distance."

We-Vibe Chorus
The We-Vibe Chorus is an intuitive couples vibrator with adjustable design that allows it be worn during play, whether you're together or solo. It also features hands-free touch-sensitive receptors—meaning that the tighter you squeeze and the more your body responds, the stronger the vibrations get. And since the toy is compatible with the brand's We-Connect app, those vibes can also be controlled from anywhere (yes, all 10 settings of them).
Standout Feature: The hands-free, wearable design that allows this toy to stay put as you play.
Notable Review: "Honestly I didn't think I'd love this as much as I do. I bought this during COVID-19, as I'm in a long-distance relationship. Love the online controls, feels amazing and love being able to build a hands-free routine on my phone."
Nora App Controlled Rechargeable Rotating Rabbit Vibrator
This rabbit vibrator delivers three vibe intensities and tandem G-spot and clitoral stimulation thanks to its double arms. Once connected to the toy's Body Chat app, it can be controlled from afar and offers additional vibrational levels and patterns, as well as the ability to operate both arms separately. It can also be synced with the brand's male masturbator (The Max, see below), so you and your partner can experience pleasure and sensation together.
Standout Feature: The rotating, angled and rippled internal arm that can stimulate the G-stop without neglecting the clitoris.
Notable Review: "Nora is hands down one of my favourite vibes I own and by far the best rabbit style vibrator I have… It's super powerful, has fantastic internal and external vibes and feels luxurious. On top of this, it is a brilliant remote control toy. The Lovense app is really superior to other remote control toy apps and the additional vibrations it brings is great."
Max 2 App Controlled Rechargeable Vibrating Male Masturbator
Lovense's male masturbator features a suction functionality that's designed to mimic 360° muscular contractions.

Notable Review: "This vibrator will punch you in the face and steal your dog. It will commit tax fraud just for the thrill of it. It will open your third eye so you can watch as it realigns your chakras in accordance with its favorite colors. You no longer need a Ouija board to contact the dead."

The Satisfyer is a tried-and-true sex toy mainstay: It uses air sunction to deliver oral-sex-inspired sensation directly to the clitoris.

AVXOO App-Control Butterfly Vibrator
This cute little vibrator packs a mighty punch due to its 10 different vibration modes and three sensation points—one of which mimics a flickering tongue.

For those who crave precision (hello to any type-A wedding planners out there), this vibrator totes a trio of precise tips for concentrated clitorial play. Plus, with motors on either end, the toy can be flipped around and inserted, too. (And those aforementioned motors? They can of course be operated virtually with Lovense's compatible app.)

He thought it was a really fun and romantic way to stay connected in his absence."
