Televisions may have been using remote controls since the 1950s, but remote controls for sex toys are relatively - and excitingly! - new.

Even now, we've come a long way from where we started, with toys such as app-controlled love eggs that can be operated from anywhere in the world. Thanks, Internet!

But what is it that makes remote control vibrators such an enticing part of today's high-tech sex toy world?

Read on to find reasons you need one in your life, and discover which is the best remote toy for you.


Reason #1: You don't need to be a contortionist to use them

Some toys can be a little tricky to operate while you're using them, especially when it comes to switching speeds and functions.

So, enter remote control toys!

A remote control gives ease of use without the stretch for both you and your partner.

Lovehoney customers say...

"The wireless functionality is ideal so you can properly relax without any uncomfortable positioning, while being able to instantly click through to your preferred intensity."


Reason #2: You can use them to add a new dimension to play

Remote controls make toys sneaky! Hand the controller to your partner and have them go into another room.

The anticipation of wondering when the settings will change can be highly exciting all on its own, and when the new vibrations do start up, they're even more thrilling than usual.

If you're an exhibitionist, you can also try slipping the toy inside yourself and maintaining eye contact with your partner while you cycle through the settings for an ultra-sensual, hands-off encounter.

Lovehoney customers say...

"We have used it for various different things such as foreplay and using it as a form of DP and edging. My partner loves the thrill that it could go off at any given moment!"


Reason #3: You can use them for cheeky outdoor adventures

Many remote control toys are really quiet. So quiet, in fact, that you can wear them outside your house without anyone being able to guess what's putting such a big smile on your face.

Lovehoney customers say...

"People talk about getting a buzz out of bungee jumping or parachuting or... cheese rolling, but with a remote toy you can get a buzz from the weekly food shop, your morning yoga... without even expecting it."


Reason #4: They can keep you together even when you're apart

The dreaded LDR. Long distance relationships, or even just being apart for a week, can be tough, especially if you usually enjoy an active sex life.

App-controlled toys in particular are a growing area of remote control toys that mean you can put the power in your partner's hands, even when you're hundreds of miles apart.

Lovehoney customers say...

"Purchased a remote toy for me and my partner to play with as we have a long distant relationship... He loves being able to tease me and take control of my orgasms."
