Best Vibrators for Long-Distance Relationships
Distanced doesn’t mean disconnected
Making a long-distance relationship work isn’t easy at the best of times, and with the current challenges caused by the global pandemic, more and more couples are finding themselves geographically separated or apart for longer periods of time. Whether you’re separated by a few miles or a few continents, it takes a lot of creativity to keep the magic alive and maintain a deep emotional connection when you’re not together.
As anyone in an LDR will tell you, the first and most important thing is to make time for each other to connect. Yes, speaking on the phone or exchanging messages throughout the day are all very well and good, but just like you would make time for sex when you’re together, it’s vital to do the same when you’re apart.
Secondly, you need to find what works for you. Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls have made it easier than ever to get close to each other whilst apart. But not everyone is confident enough to engage in a steamy conversation over the phone telling their partner what to touch and how that makes them feel, however brazen they may be in the heat of the moment when they’re physically together. Equally, if you happen to find yourself quarantined back at your parents, that probably isn’t a phone conversation you want them to overhear!
Well thanks to that wonderful world of technology, app-controlled vibrators have taken mutual masturbation for long-distance couples to a whole new level.
Using sex toys together are a powerful way to increase intimacy with your significant other, especially if you’re in a long-distance relationship. Sometimes referred to as teledildonics, there are now a host of toys with Bluetooth connectivity that can be controlled via a smartphone app over wifi, allowing your lover to control the vibrations (and your orgasms!), even if they’re thousands of miles away.
What’s more, the app allows you to fully-personalise the experience for both of you with in-app text chat and interactive video calling along with the ability to set the vibrations to music or whatever tempo and pattern your lover decides.
Here are a few of our favourite app-controlled vibrators that make perfect long-distance sex toys.
We-Vibe Moxie Satin Black Clitoral Vibrator
We-Vibe’s Moxie is one of the most popular wearable panty vibrators, thanks to its handy pebble-shaped magnet that keeps it firmly in place. Simply slide the moxie into any underwear you choose, position it against your vulva and the magnet will keep it there, whether you’re lying, sitting, standing or even walking. Designed to be discreet, Moxie is whisper-quiet so the only sound you will need to worry about is your own excitement. Ideal if you’re stranded at your parents’ place or concerned about your flatmates overhearing it! Sync it to your phone and using the We-Connect app, your partner can set the tempo and choose from over 10 deep rumbly vibration modes to bring you to a powerful orgasm.
Svakom Ella Neo Bluetooth Bullet Vibrator
Petite yet powerful, this beautifully textured little bullet packs a punch with 11 different vibration patterns to explore. The Ella Neo is particularly versatile, use it to tease the clitoris, inside the vagina as a g-spot vibrator, or even anally as a butt plug, giving you a multitude of sensations to enjoy. Sync it to the Svakom or FeelConnect 3 apps and allow your long-distance partner to take you on a journey of pleasure, no matter where they are in the world. Thanks to its discreet shape and flexible silicone cord, you can even use it as a wearable vibrator when you’re out and about - meaning you can still indulge in some naughty foreplay!
We-Vibe Vector Vibrating Prostate Massager

The Vector’s uniquely adjustable shape, allows you to get the perfect fit for your body. Angle the internal arm to press pleasurably against the p-spot and while the flexible base can be moved to allow the ridged bulb to sit against the perineum. Just be sure to use plenty of water-based lube.

All while you’re in touch through the in-app text or video chat.

Highly flexible and bendable to fit your unique shape, the Nova flexes with you, keeping constant contact with your clitoris while stimulating your G-spot.
