Ah, the beauty of innovation. It has given us wonders like air travel, internet, and, not the least of all, the remote control vibrator. We’re lucky to live in an age that puts the power of pleasure (for ourselves and our partners) in the simple push of a button. And when that button happens to be on a wireless remote? Well, things get a lot more interesting.
Remote control vibrators can make solo play conveniently hands-free, or even better, give you and your partner the opportunity to control each other’s swirling sensations “from across the room or across the ocean,” explains Lori Beth Bisbey, an accredited gender, relationship, sex, and diversity therapist and intimacy coach based in London. Long-distance couples will especially appreciate the unique connection a remote toy can offer.

With bluetooth and wireless compatibility, most remotes are as easy as downloading a new app on your phone. If you prefer a physical remote, though, some include those as well. “They come in all types: From wand [vibrators] to rabbits to suction toys to butt plugs,” adds Bisbey. So there’s something for everyone.
