The 17 Best Remote Control Vibrators for Discreet & Long Distance Fun

After 20 minutes of consistent use, the Hitachi shuts off for safety reasons (presumably, because the toy gets hotter the longer it’s on) and to preserve battery life. But for the most part, this isn’t an area too many companies seem comfortable approaching just yet. For example, one sex toy designer did chuckle when I made the hypothetical suggestion of sex toys specifically made and marketed for older users. Among the companies that are consciously working to address and court this demographic is Tantus, which has been actively creating sex toys with disabled users in mind for years. There’s also the Fiera pre-intimacy vibrator for generating arousal, whose creators told Mic it’s made with seniors in mind.

Waterproof and app-enabled, it offers two motors and two control tracks to control both the clitoral stimulator and G-spot stimulation. And while you might have found your way around your own clitoris (or guided a few partners through the Do’s and Don’ts), it’s totally normal for the clit to take a bit of time to reach full arousal. “Remember that it takes, on average vibrator, minutes of stimulation and foreplay before a woman is fully aroused,” Serra says. Vibe uses UltraWave Vibration, which “combines low-frequency, rumbly vibrations with 10 powerful, harmonic resonances,” the brand explains. The stimulation is described as intense but gentle, and the whole experience should be smooth and sexy without ever crossing the line into too much. Vibe also offers three autopilot modes that last for 10 minutes each, letting you take a full journey into pleasure.

Also neat is that half of the underbelly is ridged, for some added texture. He also independently reviews new products in the wellness space for Good Housekeeping, which he has done previously for Martha Stewart Living and Cooking Light. These testers evaluated aspects like connectivity, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility for personal use in the bedroom, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.

With more than 150 electric models to choose from, VIBCO has an electric vibrator to suit your specific needs including adjustable speed and force, heavy duty, high frequency and explosion proof models. VIBCO’s Big BerthaTM Dumpbody Vibrators and SandBusterTM Spreader Hopper Vibrators are perfect for trucking and mobile applications. Given that buying three separate gadgets that perform the functions of the Vibrato would total over $300, I argue that the Vibrato is well worth its price point. Plus, I’m now willing to spend extra just to keep my sex toy collection a little more manageable.

These are some of the least obtrusive vibrators on the market, because they can make it feel like you’re just touching your partner with your fingers, which happen to be vibrating. They’re typically not the most powerful, but their versatility and ease of use make up for that. The Wild Flower Enby 2 (currently unavailable) is a versatile vibrator that can be used both by people with penises and people with vulvas. Shaped like a miniature bicycle seat, the Enby 2 features a vibrating protrusion that expands out to a flexible, flat, triangular silicone surface that transmits the vibrations. We like the concept, and we found the vibrations to be plenty strong.

Plus, read up on sexpert insight on what makes this genre of vibes so unique and so worthy of your wallet. WhisperBullet, available for $59.99, is a sleek, compact sub-audible bullet vibrator offering five vibration speeds that cater to any mood, from gentle to intense. Powered by Bellesa’s revolutionary WhisperTech™, this product delivers powerful pleasure while remaining undetectable to the human ear.

I tested the Cherry Emojibator and the Strawberry Emojibator to see if the adorable toys were worth the purchase—and the results surprised me. Since it has a strong grip on me , it stays in place whether I’m on top of my partner or the other way around. If it would be more satisfying for my partner an inch or two higher, our bodies have to move, because the vibrator can’t. The rotating nubs at the bottom are also cleverly designed to press against the base of the penis, right where it meets the scrotum. They’re flexible enough to position easily, yet they hold their position wherever you leave them. The most stark difference between the Tenuto Mini and its predecessor is that it lacks the large, mound-like base that was designed to sit underneath its wearer’s perineum.

All of this power does mean the Magic Wand Rechargeable is larger than most vibrators and weighs 600g and like many wands it is not waterproof. It’s designed to mimic oral sex – think the flutter of a tongue and the suction of a mouth, and achieves that thanks to its clitoral vacuum technology. With over 40 different pleasure combos, from eight levels of intensity and five different vibration patterns this vibrator is sure to blow your mind. From best-selling sex toy brand Dame, the budget-friendly Zee is a do-it-all bullet vibrator. “The design is simple, the aesthetic is minimalist, and there is a simple, single-button control for navigating the three different speeds,” says Finn.

Each vibrator was tested by at least five people over the span of a few weeks, with panellists tasked with trying every speed setting, vibration pattern and any other innovative features on offer. They also kept a keen eye on battery life and claims such as waterproofing. Sex therapist Ness Cooper recommends this flexible, bendable rabbit vibe to anyone who struggles with genital pain or has found overly firm toys to be uncomfortable in the past. Rabbit vibrators can get pretty pricey, because they’re essentially two vibrators mashed into one. It’s rare to find one for under $50 that’s actually decent, but this one fits the bill.

When I first got my hands on one shortly after Vesper hit the market, I was blown away by the concept. It was a symbol of sex positivity, a reminder that owning our sexual pleasure is an essential facet of being human—plus it’s a great conversation starter. It also made me feel like I belonged to a private club, especially if I ran into someone else rocking one around their neck.
