Get Turned On From Any Distance!
The only thing that’s better than a fun, orgasmic sex-perience with a partner is being able to enjoy yourselves together, even when you’re apart. App-controlled sex toys are perfect for couples in long-distance relationships, for people who are only going to be separated for short trips away, or even for your own solo play. For something a little closer to home, remote control toys are fabulous options for greater accessibility during play, and as an added bonus, they’re often quiet enough to enjoy in public if you feel like putting your poker face to the test!
How do long-distance sex toys work?
Technically, you can use any sex toy in a long-distance relationship by jumping on a voice or video call with your partner while playing with your toy. However, if you want to go the high-tech route, long-distance adult toys are specifically designed to provide a more interactive experience by linking to a smart device app via Bluetooth or WiFi. Once everyone involved has downloaded the app, you or a playmate can control the toy by using a phone or tablet as a remote — most apps have a function where you can send a unique link to your specific toy to another person you want to play with. From here, they can take charge of your pleasure from anywhere in the world!
Depending on your specific toy and that particular brand’s app, there are a wide variety of features you can unlock. This can include creating your own custom vibration patterns, connecting to virtual reality systems, in-app video/voice/text chat programs, or even syncing with music so you can enjoy your favourite songs in a whole new way…
The best long-distance solo sex toys
Is it any surprise that the Lovense Lush 3 is on this list? Not to our Fun Specialists, who see these little Bluetooth egg vibrators flying off our shelves!
This wearable G-spot egg has a fixed external tail to ensure the toy stays right where it needs to and puts the perfect amount pressure on your G-spot. There are 10 built-in vibration modes that feel deeper than ever, as well as a limitless number of extra vibe patterns you can program in via the app. It’s perfect for hands-free solo or partnered play and is even quiet enough for you to enjoy yourself in public just like you would in private…
Alternatively, if you want G-spot and clitoral stimulation, the We-Vibe Sync 2 is the toy for you! The C-shaped design is adjustable to comfortably cup the wearer’s body, which makes the app-compatibility extra useful since you won’t have to fiddle with the onboard controls once the toy is in place inside you.
Interactive long-distance sex toys
So we know all about Bluetooth sex toys now that you can control through an app on your phone. What if you could control a sex toy long-distance…with another sex toy?
With the Lovense Nora Bluetooth Rotating Rabbit Vibrator & the Lovense Max 2 Contracting Masturbator, now you can spice up any long-distance relationship!
This adult toy duo are great together because of their special connection to each other through their unique Sync feature, which gives you simultaneous control over both toys. On the Lovense Remote app, the Long Distance Sex mode syncs up the settings of the Nora Rabbit Vibrator and Max 2 so you can enjoy the same sensations together. The LDS mode also causes each toy to react to the other one’s movements so you can feel what your partner is doing and experiencing on their end in real-time!
Want to use the toys for solo play? No problem.
The customer-favourite Max 2 masturbator has a clear sleeve design with a non-anatomical opening and is housed in a self-contained hard case that won’t draw attention in your bedside table or a travel bag. It has 7 powerful vibration modes, as well as 3 thrilling 360° contraction strengths that mimic muscular contractions to stimulate you! The interior sleeve is lined with a unique texture of multi-sensational ribs and nubs, and also comes equipped with a unique air vent to let you adjust the suction intensity to suit your mood, size, and sensitivity.
Meanwhile, the tried-and-true Nora Rabbit Vibrator has a bulbous G-spot head that has an optimised curvy shape to hit the right spots, especially while thrusting. The insertable shaft is imbued with 3 speeds of reversible rotation to massage your inner walls while the flexible clitoral arm vibrates in 7 patterns for independent control over your internal and external pleasure!
Remote control panty vibrators for discreet on-the-go fun
If you like the idea of taking your pleasure with you without having to insert anything, vibrating panties are an excellent choice. The My Secret Screaming O® Vibrating Panty Set combines lingerie with toys in a sexy yet subtle package, with a lacy pair of side-tie underwear that contains a secret pocket in the gusset to hold the bullet vibrator. There are 10 vibration modes to enjoy, which you or a playmate can control via the nifty remote control that’s cleverly disguised as a ring you can wear on your finger and works from up to 15 metres away!
If you prefer a bit more coverage, the Remote Control Boxer Brief Stimulator Set are designed to look and feel just like comfy cotton boxers with a stretchy fit and a wide, no-dig waistband. They come with 3 interior pockets, which you can use to hold the specially designed mini vibrator that follows your most intimate contours. The remote looks like a discreet wristband and cycles through 12 toe-curling vibration modes from up to nearly 10 metres away.
Bluetooth and WiFi-enabled sex toys can help to make couples in long-distance relationships feel connected from afar. If you’re after a toy that lets you stay in touch with a partner in more ways than one, head into your nearest Sexyland adult store or shop Sexyland’s app-compatible toys range!
