Best remote vibrators: 5 best to buy for partnered play, according to sex experts

"This toy is one of the best remote control and app-based sex toys I've tried," says Cooper. "They function so well from a distance and the shapes of the various sex toy designs are perfect for different individual needs and wants. The wearable vaginal sex toy can be used during vaginal penetration or leave it in your underwear for fun when out." 

Do note, though: users have fed back that it takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of how to use it, it's a lot of fun.

"This is a wearable, remote-controlled external panty vibrator with a contoured shape that lets you take the fun, rumbly vibrations with you wherever you go. Designed to be worn under your clothes, it is held in place by a slip-proof magnet and comes with a remote or app for discreet controlling," says Rybchin.

It's worth bearing in mind that this toy sits at a higher price point than a few other competitors, that said, the experts and reviewers love it. Naturally, if you don't like the idea of someone else controlling your sex toy, it might be worth opting for a different sex toy altogether. 

"The Ferri is a small yet powerful magnetic panty vibrator that doesn't move while it gives you pleasure. It can stimulate your clitoris while you stand, walk, sit, dance or lie for pleasure. It is small enough to not feel bulky when it’s switched off, but it's powerful when it's on," adds Rybchin. 

Downsides in mind, it comes at a higher price point and might be too small for some.

"As a whole, Lovense really has perfected the art of remote control vibrators. Everything in their line is remote controllable, including the Lush which can be used for internal stimulation of your lover across the globe," says Ligon. 

"This has become the go-to remote control vibrator for all kinds of fun. The egg-style massager features powerful vibrations directly to your G-spot while being quiet enough to enjoy wherever you go," adds Caito.

While again, this toy comes at a higher price point, it's a worthy investment judging by what the experts had to say.

Our experts may not have tested this themselves, but with an average rating of 4.5 stars from 100+ reviews on Lovehoney, it's clearly one of the standout toys to buy. One verified Lovehoney reviewer wrote: "We've been using this for a couple of months now and it's really great fun - especially good on a naughty night at a restaurant on holiday. Thoroughly recommended."

Some users commented on the vibration pattern being weaker than competitor toys, while others shared that it's on the noisier end of the scale (read our edit of the best quiet sex toys and quiet sex positions, here).
