Big news: Your sex life doesn’t have to suffer if you’re in a long-distance relationship. Thanks to the magic of long-distance sex toys, your partner can give you delicious orgasms from wherever they are, no matter how far apart you are. Considering that before these existed, the only legitimate option for long-distance ~luvin~ was phone sex or sex through video chat (both still delightful options, FYI), this is major. And while nothing can beat IRL intimacy with the one you love, these app-controlled sex toys can be a HUGE help in maintaining your physical connection while you’re apart.

For those who are new to the long-distance sex toy game, allow us to fill you in. Think: your favorite vibrator, except instead of you controlling the buttons, the toy is synced to an app on your partner’s phone. From there, they can control the speed, intensity, or functions of your vibe and surprise you with their sexy selections. As certified sexologist NAME_1 explains, "There are even toys that sync together so when you're using them, they coordinate the same pattern, creating a sense that you're together and experiencing the same sensations, even from afar."
