Just because you’re in a long-distance relationship doesn’t mean that intimacy has to fizzle out. Yes, we’re here to get into the nitty-gritty of how to become a master of partnered pleasure in an LDR and connect with bae, even when you’re miles apart. Thanks to technology, we’re living in the era of long-distance sex toys, otherwise known as teledildonics. Teledildonics are a form of remote-controlled sexual stimulation, letting people in different places experience a shared, simultaneous erotic experience via Bluetooth or WiFi.
While a simple sexy FaceTime or phone sex sesh can do the trick sometimes, if you want to take your mutual pleasure to the next level, you’re going to need to get your hands on the most cutting-edge long-distance vibrators, strokers, anal toys, and prostate stimulators. Long-distance sex toys can also let you explore power play and BDSM from afar, so peruse the following and surprise your partner with a gift that both of you will enjoy!
BEST NIPPLE CLAMPS: Lovense Gemini Nipple Clamp
Suitable for all anatomies, the Gemini clamps from Lovense take the pressure off genital stimulation and make the perfect foreplay opener. They have two independently controlled motors that allow partners to customize each side through the app, and can also sync up with other Lovense toys.
BEST WAND: Lovense Domi 2 Wand
A wand vibrator is the inclusive GOAT for all anatomies and erogenous zones. Small but powerful, Domi 2 can be used practically anywhere on the body and disperses deep, rumbly vibrations. Users can personalize patterns and use it on areas like the inner thighs, vulva, perineum, or nipples.
MOST UNIQUE ANAL TOY: Lovense Ridge Anal Beads
Ridge offers a welcome twist on conventional anal beads with separately controlled 360-degree rotation and vibration. It has graduated beads, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced users, and a flared base, which is a must for anal toy safety. App control lets your partner adjust sensations and build anticipation before removing them.
BEST BEGINNER-FRIENDLY BUTT PLUG: We-Vibe Ditto Plus
If you’ve been looking for an approachable intro to long-distance anal play, the tapered shape and flexible base of We-Vibe Ditto+ is your best bet. It can be controlled via the We-Vibe app, and also has an IPX7 waterproof rating, which can be helpful for filming yourself playing in the bath or shower. You can also explore extended wear, letting your partner control the plug while you run errands – don’t forget to lube up!
MOST VERSATILE SUCTION TOY: Svakom Klitty App Controlled Licking Clitoral Stimulator with Suction
Despite being labeled a clitoral stimulator, this dual-function sucking and licking air pulse toy isn’t just for people with vulvas. It can also work wonders on the nipples and neck, recreating the flickering tongue of a partner like they’re right beside you. It offers 10 licking and vibration modes, plus 3 gradually intensifying suction levels. Like all of Svakom’s devices, the Klitty is app-controlled. It also comes in a discreet case for when you do travel to bae!
EASIEST TO CLEAN STROKER: Arcwave Orbit Automatic Rotating Male Masturbator
Rather than moving up and down, the Arcwave Orbit surrounds the penis with a rotating sleeve for the ultimate long-distance handjob. It has four control modes, and the KooSync app allows for interactive video syncing (hello, VR porn) and remote partner play. It also has a removable waterproof sleeve that makes the dreaded cleaning of a stroker much easier.
MOST REALISTIC STROKER: Svakom Sam Neo 2 Pro Interactive Heating Sucking and Vibrating Masturbator
Housed in a protective hard case, this stroker does it all, combining contracting suction and vibration with a warming feature that’s so realistic, it’ll feel like your partner is right there. Partners can control functions through the SVAKOM app, while FeelConnect compatibility allows you to use it with webcam sessions and interactive videos. It also has a travel lock for those who frequently travel between locations.
BEST VIBRATOR YOU CAN ALSO USE FOR ANAL PLAY: Svakom Erica App Controlled Wearable Vibrator
This flexible wearable vibrator has two quiet but powerful motors that stimulate you internally and externally. While it’s designed to stimulate the G-Spot and clitoris simultaneously, it can also be used by people with vulvas and penises, as the unique flared shape lets it double as an anal toy as well. Its 11 modes can be controlled on the toy itself, the SVAKOM app, or the FeelConnect 3 app.
BEST CUSTOMIZABLE STROKER: The Handy 2
One of the most innovative wireless strokers on the market, the Handy 2 lets you customize stroke length, intensity, and speed. It also has the perk of internet connectivity, meaning that if you’re connected to a secure WiFi network, a partner can control your experience from across the world. Its USB-C fast charging means that even if you forget to charge up before a session, a few minutes will still give you a solid amount of juice.
BEST PERINEUM/COCK RING: We-Vibe Verge App Controlled Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring
If you thought that cock rings were just for in-person partnered play, think again. The Verge can make your virtual session last longer and, when placed around the penis and testicles, has the added perk of perineum stimulation. It can be positioned in a range of ways so wearers can get creative, and has more than 10 vibration modes, giving you plenty of room to experiment.
BEST FOR PROSTATE PLAY: Lovense Edge 2 App Controlled Rechargeable Prostate Massager
The Edge 2 lets you go hands-free so that you can hold your phone or occupy them elsewhere. Its curved, bulbous tip is designed to hit the prostate, and an adjustable internal arm lets you better contour the toy to your body. Its dual motors can both be controlled by a distant partner who can create patterns or synchronize the vibrations with music.
BEST PORTABLE STROKER: Lovense Edge 2 App Controlled Rechargeable Prostate Massager
If larger strokers intimidate you, consider the PowerShot, a smaller and travel-friendly alternative with a squeezable sleeve that gives you more control. Partners can control it and create patterns via the FeelConnect app, and it has a guided stamina-training feature that lets you explore arousal and control in a new way.
