Remote & App Toys
Remote control vibrators and app-controlled toys hand the controls to a partner, across the room or across the country: vibes, wearables, cock rings, plugs and strokers.
How to choose a remote control vibrator
Match the toy to the distance. A remote-only vibe is simplest: no app, no pairing, and it works the moment it is charged, but only within a room or two. App-controlled toys from We-Vibe, Svakom and CalExotics Connect add unlimited range, pattern design and video chat, which is what long-distance relationships need. Then choose the form that fits how you play: a wearable for going out, a ring for penetrative sex, a plug or beads for anal, a stroker for penis owners. All toys here are rechargeable and cost $41.95 to $229.95. Our remote control and long-distance toys guide covers pairing and privacy.

Frequently asked questions
How does a remote control vibrator work?
A small remote sends a radio or Bluetooth signal to the toy, usually within 10 to 30 feet, so a partner can change speed and pattern without touching it. App-controlled versions replace the remote with a phone.
Can app control toys work long distance?
Yes. Toys from We-Vibe, Svakom and CalExotics Connect pair to a phone over Bluetooth; the app then lets a partner anywhere with internet control it, often with video or voice built in.
What is the best remote control vibrator for couples?
For most couples a wearable like the We-Vibe Moxie Plus or a remote cock ring, because both work during sex. Long-distance couples should choose app control and check both phones are supported before buying.
Are app-controlled sex toys private?
Reputable brands encrypt the connection and let you use the toy without creating an account. We only stock app toys from established makers; read each app's privacy notice if you plan to share control online.
Do remote toys need Wi-Fi?
Remote-only toys need nothing but batteries or a charge. App toys need Bluetooth on your phone and, for long-distance sessions, an internet connection on both ends.
