The remote control was the greatest innovation to hit the self-pleasure world since the invention of the D-cell battery. True story.

Remote-controlled vibrators are the best invention since sliced bread because they put your pleasure—literally—at your fingertips. With a remote, you can not only switch the device on and off, you can give your partner the control (double entendre intended!) Another rockstar bonus is that you or they can adjust the speed, and without having to bend yourself in half or remove the device to access the controls.


Let me double back for a moment and express the sheer glory of giving a remote controlled vibrator to a partner. When someone else controls the remote, your excitement builds not just through the stimulation but also through anticipation. Waiting patiently (…or not so patiently) is a phenomenal way to psyche yourself up for a very exhilarating evening.

Expert Advice on Remote Control Vibrators

As someone who is all too familiar with these remote-controlled beauties, here’s what you need to know:

• They aren’t (necessarily) quiet, so be mindful of where and when you use them.
• Don NOT use them while operating machinery, like a car.
• Always have batteries on hand for both the vibrator itself and the remote, because as any vibe owner knows, they always die at the worst time—anti-climactically.
• Like many sex toys, you really do get what you pay for. Generally, the more you pay, the larger the wave range of the remote, the better the quality, the longer the lifespan and the greater the number of available vibing-fun options.
• As with all sex toys, cleaning is absolutely, 110% vital. So be sure to thoroughly clean them between uses, BUT be sure to remove the batteries first to avoid electric shocks.
• Think safety. If you’re giving your remote to a partner, be sure not to buy a remote control vibrator that sits right on your clitoris; your partner may inadvertently overdo it.

Remote Control Vibrators: The Options

Much like the men that vibrators were initially modelled after—although a quick look through our website will show you how far we’ve strayed from that idea—remote control vibes come in a wide variety of options and types:

1. Eggs/Bullets (best for self pleasuring)
2. Panty (best for teasing)
3. Vibrators (best for climaxing)
4. Anal (do we need to say what anal is the best for?)

A Tip for Next-Level Remote Vibe Fun

Once the initial ‘glow’ has worn off from your foray into remote-vibing fun, there are other ways to incorporate it into a steamy love life. My favourite way is to add it into a fun bedroom—or out-of-the-bedroom—game. One great example is for you to pleasure your partner while he holds the remote. When you do something he likes he gives you a good ‘buzz’.

Another fun game is to incorporate it into typically non-sexy activities. For example, if you have a good or bad habit that your mate is trying to reinforce or break—have them give you a solid buzzing to do so. Yet another example would be to give your partner the remote, and have them challenge you with it. So, if your phone rang and you took the call your partner could play with you to try to get you to lose your cool.

Remote Control Vibrators: My Conclusion

Yes…yes….yessss…yes I love remote control vibrators. They are a great way for both sex toys ‘newbs’ and experienced aficionados to incorporate a non-threatening toy that both partners can get excited about into their sexual activity.

Another lovely bonus is that the options on the market with remote controls make choosing one almost as fun as taking one home and strapping it on.
