Sex toys are always welcome additions in the bedroom, but sometimes they’re not the easiest to control when you're in the moment. Introducing: the best remote control vibrators, which exist to make solo or partner play a little bit easier and a lot more fun. No more fumbling with buttons or flipping through vibration patterns and speeds without being able to see what you’re doing (when you’re really just trying to focus and stay in the mood). And with February around the corner, remote control vibes make an excellent sexy gift for Valentine’s Day.
What to look for in remote control sex toys?
Remote control vibrators have been on the market for a long time, but the technology just keeps getting better. These days, many toys are Bluetooth-enabled with Wi-Fi connectivity, and can be controlled remotely through an app on your phone—no matter what time zone and location. This feature makes remote control vibes a game changer for long-distance relationships. Other types of remote control vibes can be used within a short range of a separate wireless remote. Some can even be worn in your underwear, which can add an element of intrigue to foreplay, sex with your partner in the next room (or abroad), or for discreet public play. Even for people living their best single life and just looking to ramp up their solo sex lives, remote control sex toys can make masturbation easier. Want to change the vibration speed? All you need is a simple tap on your phone screen, smartwatch, or connected remote to dial up the intensity.
Below, we’ve gathered the best remote control vibrators available, according to sex experts and thousands of reviewers.
G-Spot Vibrators: We-Vibe Chorus
Amazon
We-Vibe Chorus Couples Vibrator
We-Vibe is undoubtedly one of the top players in the remote control sex toy game, thanks to its We-Connect app. Experts wholeheartedly recommended several wearable app-controlled vibrators from We-Vibe, with their top pick being the We-Vibe Chorus seen here. “In the years I’ve been at Babeland, I’ve seen a lot of iterations of We-Vibe’s signature C-shaped wearable vibrator,” Lisa Finn, sex educator and brand manager at Babeland, says, “but this one definitely is their best, with an even more adjustable design to contour more specifically to the wearer, an even smoother motor, and a remote that has a squeeze function, meaning the harder you grip the base of the remote, the more intense the vibration.”
The insertable C-shape allows for both internal G-spot stimulation and external clitoral stimulation, as the toy is designed to slip inside a vagina, hug the vaginal walls, and sit on top of the clitoris. You can wear it by itself, or use it in combination with penetrative sex.
G-Spot Vibrators: Lovense Nora Rabbit
Amazon
Nora by Lovense
Lovense’s Nora and Max 2 are both great on their own, but they’re particularly cool when used together. Nora is a high-quality rabbit-style vibrator that can be controlled remotely through an app, and Max 2 is a masturbation sleeve (otherwise known as a stroker) that can be controlled through the app. But the really cool thing about these two is how they interact with each other.
“There’s bidirectional control,” says Megan Fleming, a NYC city-based sex therapist. That means that moving one toy impacts the movement of the other when they’re both connected through the app. Couples can also use a video feature on the app to see each other while using their toys.
G-Spot Vibrators: Lovense Lush 2
Amazon
Lovense Lush 2
The Lovense Lush 2 toy is a favorite among sex-cam performers, says Shadeen Francis, LMFT a sex and relationship therapist. It’s an internal vibrator designed to sit inside a vagina with an external arm for easy removal. “It can be controlled from anywhere in the world, the curved head nestles comfortably against the sensitive tissues of the G-spot, and the vibrations range from a gentle rumble to a pulsing earthquake,” Francis adds. Since it has no limit on how far away the person controlling the vibrator can be, it’s a great couple’s vibrator for those times when your partner is out of town, but you still want to play.
G-Spot Vibrators: OhMiBod Esca 2
Ella Paradis
The Esca 2 by OhMiBod
The Bluetooth-enabled Esca 2 is compatible with Kiiroo, an interactive app that syncs up with toys to make it easier to have virtual sex with your partner (so it’s especially great for people in long-distance relationships). It’s “designed for G-spot fun,” says Carol Queen, a sex educator. “And it has many bells and whistles.” One of those bells and whistles is the ability to use an Apple Watch or iPhone as a remote, while others include a “club mode” that allows you to sync your vibrations up to music or ambient sound. The Esca is very soft and flexible for curving internally to fit your body and has three intensity levels and two vibration modes to choose from.
Egg Vibrators: Fifty Shades of Grey Relentless Vibrations Remote Couples Vibrator
Fifty Shades of Grey Relentless Vibrations Remote Control Love Egg
Sex experts have previously recommended this Fifty Shades toy as a high-quality egg vibrator that can be used externally or internally since its insertable, flexible arms bend to fit in whatever position you choose. It can be combined with other toys to add to the fun.
G-Spot Vibrators: Lovehoney Love Egg
Amazon
Lovehoney Love Egg
This egg vibrator can fit inside a vagina for internal G-spot stimulation. Flip through eight vibration modes and 12 speeds, all controlled by a simple three-button remote. This toy is whisper-quiet, which Fleming says makes it great to wear out and about if you’re into sneaky semipublic play. “There’s nothing like having your partner in eyesight while controlling their level of pleasure,” she says. Just be sure to be within about 25 feet, or the remote will fall out of range.
G-Spot Vibrators: We-Vibe Nova 2
Babeland
Dual-Stimulation G-Spot Toys: We-Vibe Nova 2
“The We-Vibe Nova 2 is my favorite dual stimulating vibrator because of how easily it adjusts to fit your body,” says Jenn Mason, founder and owner of WinkWink, a Washington-based, women-owned sex shop. “The G-spot arm can be moved into a variety of positions, while the clitoral arm is flexible enough to hit all the right spots.” Like all We-Vibe toys, the Nova is Bluetooth-compatible, so you can let your partner control it from wherever they are via the We-Vibe app. What’s more, it’s a waterproof sex toy so you can bring it just about anywhere.
Suction Vibrators: We-Vibe Melt

We-Vibe Melt
Here’s a versatile suction vibrator that connects to the We-Vibe app for complete remote control. Though it’s great for masturbation, experts also love it for partner play. “Its slim design and easy-to-hold handle allow it to fit better between bodies than other clit suction toys on the market,” Lisa Finn, a sex educator at Babeland, previously told SELF.
Bullet Vibrators: Lovense Ambi Mini Bullet Vibrator
Amazon
Lovense Ambi Mini Bullet Vibrator
Lovense’s hammer-shaped bullet vibrator hits all kinds of good spots. “Its odd shape is actually a benefit—each side feels a bit different and makes it easy to pinpoint particular areas around your clitoris and vulva,” says Sarah Melancon, PhD, sexuality and relationships expert for SexToyCollective.com previously told SELF. It can be controlled via app to spice up your LDR.
Panty Vibrators: We-Vibe Moxie
Amazon
We-Vibe
Moxie
We-Vibe’s Moxie vibrator is another popular toy among sex educators. Moxie is a rechargeable panty vibe that slips into any pair of underwear you own, “so there’s no need to worry about a panty that will cramp your style,” says Sam, the cofounder of NYC sex shop Shag.
For people with vulvas, it’s designed to massage your clitoris while you’re out and about—which can be a delight for both the body and mind, Celeste Hirschman, MA, cofounder of the Somatica Institute of Sex and Relationship Coaching, tells SELF. She gave the Moxie+ (the latest version of the Moxie) a try while out with her boyfriend: “It was fun psychologically because I knew he was getting turned on surprising me with some buzz throughout the day…. It was also great physiologically because it had the right level of stimulation for my body.”
Plus the Moxie’s magnetic attachment “makes it more inclusive for bodies of different shapes, sizes, genders, and orientations,” Francis says. Like all of We-Vibe’s toys, the Moxie is app-controlled through We-Connect, which allows you to customize its intensity and pattern of vibrations.
Panty Vibrators: OhMiBod Club Vibe
Good Vibrations
OhMiBod's Club Vibe
This remote control panty vibrator from OhMiBod has a special superpower. It “can vibrate to the beat of the music—in your bedroom, at the club—or to your lover’s voice,” Queen says. The Club Vibe comes with a black lace thong and has three modes of operation that you can toggle between, so long as you stay within the remote’s 20-foot radius. There’s Tease (which lets you manually control the vibration), Groove (which lets you choose between five programmed pulsation settings), and Club (which picks up on ambient sound to control the vibration).
Cock Rings: Satisfyer Powerful One C-Ring
Amazon
Satisfyer Powerful One C-Ring
C-rings (otherwise known as cock rings) can be tons of fun for two (or more) partners, whether you’re using them on a penis or a strap-on. Satisfyer’s Powerful One C-Ring has the bonus of being controlled by a free app. “With fully customizable vibration patterns and control from anywhere in the world, this C-ring is a great toy for both partners,” Sam says. Worn over the testicles and the shaft, the ring traps blood flow, causing the wearer to become more engorged and to have more intense orgasms.
Cock Rings: We-Vibe Verge Penis Ring
Amazon
We-Vibe Verge Penis Ring
Francis prefers We-Vibe’s version of a vibrating cock ring, which she calls a “versatile addition to sex play.” She suggests using the cock ring on a penis or dildo, during both partnered and solo play, and looping the ring around your fingers while giving a hand job or fingering someone. The ability to control the ring using the We-Connect app is an added bonus.
Cock Rings: The Happy Rabbit Remote Control Ring
Good Vibrations
The Happy Rabbit Remote Control Cock Ring
The Happy Rabbit Cock Ring combines two of the best sex toys in one, adding a cute rabbit head to a typical cock ring. The rabbit works similarly to a typical rabbit vibrator, except in this case, the penis or dildo it’s attached to is also attached to your partner. Although the remote for the Happy Rabbit has a 10- to 15-foot radius, “you probably don’t want to get too far away,” Queen says.
Masturbation Sleeves: Alex Neo by Svakom
Amazon
Alex Neo by Svakom
The Alex Neo is considered a “male masturbator” (otherwise known as a thruster). It “has a soft, supple silicone interior that is long and flexible enough to accommodate penises of all shapes and sizes,” Francis says. She believes that the major selling point of this massager is that it has multiple means of control. “The speed of the strokes can be controlled on the toy itself, by the dedicated app, or can be paired to interactive websites that sync the thrusts to the activity in the video.”
Masturbation Sleeves: Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo
Ella Paradis
Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo
The Pulse Duo is similar to a thruster but has a more open design, making it possible to use this toy during penetrative sex. The remote control toy wraps around a penis or dildo and is a great option for folks who have difficulties with erections, Corrado says, because “you can use it without getting hard.” Instead of the more typical motor, the Pulse Duo uses oscillation to “create an intense sensation for the wearer,” Corrado explains. Mason advises: “Lie down on your back and slide the penis along the inside plate for intense vibrations while your partner grinds on top of it.”
Butt Plugs: B-Vibe Novice Plug
Amazon
b-Vibe Novice
“If you’re curious but excited about anal play, the Novice Plug is a great place to start,” Corrado says. The Novice is a small, vibrating butt plug that’s controlled via a separate wireless remote control. “The anus is full of sensitive nerve endings, and vibrations can feel pleasant in this area for many people,” Corrado adds. The Novice is designed for, well, novices. That means it’s small enough to be a “comfy upgrade from fingers or external anal stimulation” for beginners, she says. Just remember to use any anal toys like this one with plenty of lube.
Butt Plugs: The Lumen Anal Plug by OhMiBod
Ella Paradis
OhMiBod Lumen Anal Plug
And if you’re looking for another Kiiroo-compatible toy with Wi-Fi connectivity, Queen recommends the Lumen Anal Plug. This butt plug has the same music mode as the Club Vibe via OhMiBod’s remote app, but can connect with other toys via the Kiiroo app, so you and your partner(s) can sync on the same vibrations. “It’s one very versatile anal plug,” Queen says.
Butt Plugs: B-Vibe Vibrating Jewel Heart Plug
B-Vibe
B-Vibe Vibrating Jewel Heart Plug
We love this USB-rechargeable, frankly adorable plug for its 15 different vibration patterns, two size options, and body-safe material. “It’s silicone, which is a fantastic material for sex toys because it’s nonporous and hypoallergenic,” says Carolanne Marcantonio, LCSW, SIFI, CST, a certified sex therapist, sex educator, and cocreator of Wise Sex Therapy Associates. Just don’t forget your favorite water-based lube!
Prostate Massagers: Lelo Hugo
Lelo
Lelo
Hugo
The expert-recommended and best-selling Lelo Hugo boasts powerful vibrations thanks, in no small part, to its dual motors: one at its base, and another in its tip. It’s sleek, smooth, and medium-size, so it’s great for those who are already fans and users of anal vibrators and prostate massagers who are looking for a luxurious remote control upgrade.
Anal Beads: Cinco Vibrating Anal Beads
Amazon
Cinco Vibrating Anal Beads
One way to give your butt a good time is with Cinco’s vibrating anal beads. Easy to clean, these silicone-covered beads are a great starter anal toy. “Just take it one bead at a time,” Queen says, and remember to use lube with this. Use the remote control it comes with from up to 30 feet away to cycle through six vibration speeds and 15 patterns.
Dildos: Strap-On-Me Vibrating Bendable Strap-On
Amazon
Strap-On-Me Vibrating Bendable Strap-On
This “strapless strap-on” stays put, thanks to the bulb that gets inserted into the vagina. “It’s equipped with three motors: in the tip, end of the shaft, and the wearable bulb, adding extra stimulation for everyone,” Mason tells SELF. “Each motor can be adjusted by the remote control, so you can get all the vibrations you want—or don’t want.”
