Living far away from your partner can be tough. It can be hard to feel connected sometimes even when you live in the same city, but put a bunch of miles between the two of you and it can feel downright sucky. The good news is your sex life doesn’t need to suffer. Sex toys have evolved to be interactive so video chatting and sexting aren’t the only tools to help you keep things steamy when you’re apart.
"Tech has come a long way, and you can now connect many vibrators and devices to your phone … allowing you to hand over the reins of control to your lover, whether they're five feet away or 5,000 miles away," says Jessica O'Reilly, Ph.D., a sex and relationship expert, the author of The Ultimate Guide to Seduction & Foreplay and the host of the "Sex With Dr. Jess" podcast. "App-enabled toys range from penis rings to vibrators to 'pleasure air' options, often referred to as suction-toys."
The problem is there are so many sex toys out there that it can be hard to narrow down the best ones for your needs. That’s why we scoured online reviews, consulted with sex therapists and talked to real couples to figure out the best sex toys for long-distance relationships. Whether you and your partner are looking for gadgets that stimulate vaginal, anal or oral pleasure, we have you covered with the options below.
You can read more about how we enlisted actual long-distance couples to test and review sex toys at the end of the guide. Looking for other ideas to spark intimacy in the bedroom? Check out our guides to the best sex toys for couples.
