Pros: Deep rumbly vibrations; two independent motors to stimulate both the prostate and the perineum; seven vibration patterns and five speeds; waterproof
Cons: Vibrations may not be strong enough for some users; can’t be used with silicone-based lubes
The Best Thruster: Lovense Gravity
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: 4 hours
How to Use: Hold down the on/off button for three to five seconds to turn the toy on or off. Control it with the buttons on the toy or by pairing it with the Lovense app.
It’s pretty tricky to feel like you’re actually penetrating your partner when you’re far apart, but this toy makes it easier with its self-thrusting function. It’s got an optional suction-cup base, so you can attach it to a wall, floor, or other smooth and flat surface for hands-free use. Controlling it via the Lovense app is probably the closest you can get to feeling like you’re actually inside your partner, even if you’re hundreds of miles apart.
Pros: Thrusts and vibrates; each function can be controlled independently; detachable suction-cup base for easier positioning/hands-free usage; water-resistant; long battery life
Cons: Not curved for intense G-spot stimulation; not anal-safe; not compatible with silicone-based lubes
The Best Wand Vibrator: Lovense Domi 2
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: 5 hours
How to Use: Hold down the “up” button to turn the toy on. Use its two buttons to change the vibration intensity, or pair it with the Lovense app to control it.
Wand vibes are often used solo, but with the right setup, it can be fun to use them with a long-distance partner too. For instance, if one person lies on top of the vibrator, or ties it to their thigh with bondage rope so it’s pressing against their most sensitive spots, their partner can overwhelm them with sensation or even give them a “forced orgasm” (consensually!) from afar with the Lovense app. This is also just a great vibe to have in your collection, because it works on all different kinds of genitals and can even be used to relax sore muscles.
Pros: Powerful rumbly vibrations; additional attachments can be purchased to make it more versatile; waterproof; long battery life; relatively quiet for a wand of this power level
Cons: May be larger and heavier than some users would prefer; can’t be used with silicone-based lubes
The Best Rideable Vibrator: Cowgirl
Material: Steel, aluminum, plastic, polyurethane, and silicone
Battery Life: Electric
How to Use: Follow the included instructions to set up the toy (they’re too complex to summarize here!). Control the toy with its corded remote control or by connecting it to the Cowgirl app.
The “cowgirl position” is a tried-and-true favorite for many, and this toy is one of the most luxurious ways to replicate it at a distance. Climb aboard its sizeable “saddle” and you can use one of its insertable attachments for anal or vaginal stimulation, or just grind your external hotspots against one of its flat attachments. And since the toy is app-compatible, your partner can take control of your ride from across the globe.
