Have you been thinking about introducing long distance vibrators into your relationship?
We think they are a great idea for LDR couples for several reasons:
- Intimacy is important: When you can’t be together in person, long distance vibrators can help bridge the gap.
- Versatility: They come in a variety of shapes and sizes with different functions. Whether you prefer clitoral stimulation, G-spot stimulation, or both, there is an option to suit your needs.
- Adventure: Some vibrators are wearable and are quiet enough to use in public. Spice things up by letting your partner surprise you as you go about your day.
- Promote trust: Trust can be hard to build and maintain in a relationship – what better way to build trust than with a remote control vibrator?
What Is a long distance vibrator, and how does it work?
Originally known as remote control vibrators, these devices came with an actual remote. Now, long distance vibrators incorporate Bluetooth technology, allowing them to connect to smartphone apps. Through these apps, you or your partner can control vibration modes and intensity from anywhere in the world.
The Best Vibrators for Long Distance Relationships in 2020
Remote Control Rabbit Vibrators
Nora by Lovense
If you want a tried and true product, the Nora by Lovense was the first Bluetooth-compatible rabbit vibrator on the market. They have continued to refine Nora, which has now been updated six times, improving features like:
- Battery life & charging times

We do like how many customizable vibration settings there are on the Nora. No matter what type of stimulation you like from a rabbit vibrator, Nora provides it.

Nova by We-Vibe
Some women don’t like rabbit-style vibrators because they can lose contact with the clitoris as you move in and out. A flexible clitoral stimulator sets the Nova by We-Vibe apart because the flexible arm allows it to maintain pressure.
The shape of Nora looks intimidating at first, until you understand the function of that shape. You may think to aim the pointy end of the clitoral stimulator directly on your clitoris, but it’s actually the broad side of the arm.
Nova Partner Controls
For long distance control you or your partner can adjust the vibration modes via the We-Connect App. The application also has secure video and chat functionality so you don’t have to swap between different platforms. Nova also has buttons on the end of the device for personal use.

- It is super quiet, only creating 45.5 dB at top speed.
For those who enjoy the thrill of a wearable vibrator, the Lush 2 is an excellent choice thanks to its accessible on/off button. That means you can wear it all day, then turn it on and let your partner know when you’re ready for some discreet fun.
Lush 2 is also waterproof, making it usable in the bath or shower.
Lush 2 Partner Controls
The only physical controls on the Lush 2 is the on/off button. This means you or your partner have to use the Lovense Remote App to control the device. It’s also worth noting that the Lush 2 is compatible with the Lovense Remote Apple Watch App.

OhMiBod Esca 2: Powered by Kiiroo
The second-generation of the OhMiBod Esca 2 kept what worked well and improved what didn’t, creating an exceptional wearable vibrator.
One improved area is the reinforced tail. It generates a much stronger Bluetooth signal, so there’s less risk of disconnection from the app during use.
We also like that the Esca 2 has better battery life, which now lasts up to three hours on a single charge. The team at Kiiroo also included an LED light to add to the visual experience.
It’s worth noting that the LED light can be turned off if you’re in a situation where you need to be discreet!

But don’t think the basic design makes it a basic device!
This sleek toy is not short on power or function. With touch-sensitive technology, the vibrations become more intense the deeper you insert the toy and lessen as you remove it, which can make for a mind-blowing experience.
While the Pearl 2 is known as a remote control g-spot vibrator, users have commented that it is an equally effective option for clitoral stimulation.

The Long Distance Vibrator We Recommend
Each of the long distance vibrators we have explored are great options for LDR couples to enhance those intimate moments.
But, the option we are proud to recommend is Nora from the team at Lovense.
Here’s a few reasons why…
Nora is Versatile
Being a remote control rabbit vibrator gives you many options when it comes to stimulation. Whether it’s clitoral or g-spot stimulation, Nora is designed to aid in both and even at the same time.
Connects With Other Lovense Devices
While Nora is a great option on it’s own. If your partner wants to join in on the fun, they can. Nora can connect to, control and be controlled by Lovense’s Max 2 (male stroker) or another Nora.
Having the ability to connect two Nora’s together (and even two Max 2’s) makes them LGBTQ+ friendly. We’re proud to support a company like Lovense that has an inclusive vision.
6th Generation
Lovense has been helping long distance couples share intimate moments for over 10 years. In that time they have continued to refine and improve their products. Nora has received multiple feature updates, creating one of the most immersive and user friendly options that’s currently available.
Lovense Remote App
Just like their physical devices, updates to the Lovense Remote App occur regularly. It makes it quick and easy to connecting devices to the app and to each other, while also providing a range of features to enhance the overall experience.
Adding in the fact that Nora is also one of the most affordable options makes it an amazing choice for your relationship. For more details on Nora’s features and capabilities, head on over to the official Lovense website.
Helpful Tips Before Buying a Long Distance Vibrator
Device Compatibility
Before buying any app controlled vibrators, make sure you can download the application to your phone or computer. While the Lovense App is compatible with Mac and Windows in addition to iOS and Android, Kiiroo and We-Vibe products will only work with Bluetooth-compatible iOS and Android mobile devices.
Sizing Help
Is there anything worse than spending good money on a product, only to discover that it doesn’t fit? Before purchasing, use a tape measure to see what the measurements look like. Be sure to check the width (also called girth) and insertable length to make sure the toy will be comfortable for your body.
Allergies
You would be amazed at how many cheap sex toys and lubricants contain common allergens and irritants.
Check the materials and ingredients of all sex toys and lubricants before making a purchase, and be sure to avoid the following:
- Rubber contains latex, which many people are allergic to. Rubber’s porous surface can harbor bacteria and cause an infection. Also, rubber tends to have a very un-romantic scent.
- Phthalates are chemicals that make plastic flexible, but phthalate exposure has been linked to several health concerns. Avoid it whenever possible.
- Jellies may contribute a realistic feel to some toys, but they contain phthalates.
- PVC and vinyl are relatively cheap ingredients used to make sex toys softer. However, you may pay for that cheapness since they contain phthalates.
- Dyes can leach out of cheap materials and cause skin reactions.
- Scents in toys or lubricants may cause allergic reactions or irritation.
- Glycols and glycerin are ingredients in some lubes that can cause thrush (a fungal infection) or irritation.
We highly recommend silicone as a safe vibrator material. Stainless steel, glass, and lucite are also safe materials.
Cleaning
It is important to clean your device immediately after every use. This helps to prevent the growth of yeast or bacteria that could cause an infection the next time you use it.
Each toy will come with cleaning instructions that may vary slightly. However, you should follow these general guidelines:
- Immediately after use, rinse it off and pat it dry.
- Use a damp cloth and gentle soap or a specified cleaner, based on the manufacturer’s directions.
- Store the vibrator in a silk bag or a box with toys made from the same materials.
