“[Nora] is an excellent rabbit-style vibrator with a flexible tip that allows you to bend it toward the clitoris,” sex expert Sarah Melancon, PhD, told Glamour. Meanwhile, its external arm provides direct stimulation to the outer part of the clitoris. Nora has a rotating head and a textured shaft that provide plenty of satisfying levels of stimulation. Where this rabbit vibrator really stands out is in its run time; the USB-rechargeable toy gets up to four hours of play time when fully charged (most toys of the same caliber run under two hours, tops). If you want to take the fun up a couple more notches, Nora can be paired via app with other Lovense toys, including the Lovense Lush 3 egg vibrator, additional Noras, or its penis-focused companion, Max 2 (see below). You and a partner can control your respective toys at the same time, no matter the distance.

“This panty vibrator is powerful, discreet, and designed to be worn around the house or out to a party as your little secret,” sex expert Jess O’Reilly, PhD, previously told Glamour. The Moxie+ is my preferred toy for public play; it has a magnet that secures it tightly inside my underwear, and it’s far less bulky than many other panty vibes I’ve tried (pro tip: choose a pair of undies that’s snug enough to keep from sliding around). My partner can dial up the pleasure for me via the accompanying app. There are 10 vibration patterns to choose from, and they range from gentle to strong. My only criticism is that the toy is rather noisy—if you’re wearing it in public, you might not want to choose a library.

• What we love: Wearable; stays secure; app-controllable
• What can improve: Loud

• Material: ABS plastic
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 3.5-hour run time
• Noise level: Medium
• Vibration modes: 10 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Splashproof
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

This male masturbator connects to other Lovense toys (including the Nora) to thrust in sync, creating the sensation of real-deal intercourse. The textured sleeve fits snugly around the penis, acting as a cylinder that feels similar to the inside of a vagina, even contracting like vaginal muscles. Once the sleeve is on—and you’ve added lube for silky smoothness—it can be moved up and down to stroke the penis as you would during a hand job. You or a partner can control the contractions via app, as well as the intensity of the vacuum-like suction feeling that mimics a mouth. Strokers don’t get much higher-tech—or more pleasurable—than this.

• What we love: Great battery; powerful vibrations; connects to other toys
• What can improve: Not waterproof

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 2-hour run time
• Noise level: Quiet
• Modes: 8 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Lelo Liv 3 quickly became a toy that’s always within arm’s reach because it nails both G-spot and clitoral stimulation. I usually use this vibrator solo because it’s so easy to hold and I can use it internally or externally. Its phallic shape has a rounded head that ever so slightly comes to a subtle tip that offers some pinpointed clitoral stimulation, while its slim body fits comfortably inside and curves to touch the G-spot. I like that the Bluetooth-enabled app gives you two modes that you can only access via app, including one called Finish Me Off that gradually increases the intensity of the toy’s vibrations without my having to push any buttons manually. The app has a straightforward design that would be simple enough for beginners to long-distance toys. (For a toy that works with Lelo’s new Love Bridge feature, I like the Gigi 3.)

• What we love: Intense vibrations; designed for precision
• What can improve: Might be a bit much for sensitive clits

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 1-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 2-hour run time
• Noise level: Quiet
• Modes: 16 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

MysteryVibe's Crescendo 2 is unlike any other long-distance vibrator on this list, starting with its unique shape. It’s a finger vibrator—quite visibly so—that mimics a come-hither motion. It’s the first body-adapting design; you can fold it in half for simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation, splay it open into a 120-degree angle, or use its length to massage the P-spot and perineum at once. Leave the shape alone, and it can act as a bullet vibrator that tickles the clit or nipples. Although it’s fun to use solo, things become even more exciting when your partner logs into the app. The toy has 16 varying intensities, and its body has six motors that can be individually app-controlled, depending on what erogenous zone your partner wants to stimulate. I advise making sure your toy is fully charged before using it, because it might otherwise struggle to connect to the app, as mine did.

• What we love: Ultra-flexible; app is easy to use; motors can be individually controlled
• What can improve: Expensive; patchy Bluetooth connection at times

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 1.5-hour run time
• Noise level: Relatively quiet
• Modes: 9 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

Rose vibrators have become popular for two reasons: They’re clit suckers, and they’re extremely discreet. Although there are a lot of different rose sex toys on the market, this one by Mooligirl has the best value—especially for one with app control. Its flower-shaped end has a tiny tongue that tickles the clit. The rose is tethered to a separate four-inch vibrator that slips inside the vagina to target the G-spot at the same time. You or your partner can control the Mooligirl via app, selecting the type of sensations you want—sucking, licking, or thrusting—then adjusting them to fit your sensitivity level. The app includes a Sound Control Mode that syncs the toy’s vibrations to music, and the rose’s tongue can be used to lightly tease any erogenous zone during foreplay. For around $30, the vibrator offers a ton of thoughtful features, which is why it’s one of my favorites.

• What we love: App has easy to navigate option; includes three types of stimulation
• What can improve: Not a very long battery life

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 1.5-hour run time
• Noise level: Quiet
• Modes: 12 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

Satisfyer has garnered many fans for its air pulse technology, which is similar to Womanizer’s but at a cheaper price point. When the long-distance version of its best-selling suction toy launched, it was great news for those who wanted to experience sexual intimacy with someone else, no matter how many miles stood in their way.

Pro 2 Generation 3’s app doesn’t require a lot of getting used to. It provides a set of programs and intensities to choose from, and you can set up a playlist through the app that can be listened to if you’re masturbating or sharing an intimate moment with your partner who’s far away. The mouth of the toy covers the clitoris and is made of a soft silicone that, with a dab of lube, feels like your partner’s mouth is right there on your genitals which, for me, is a plus. However, I will say, I prefer a toy that lasts longer than 90 minutes, and this one doesn't.

• What we love: Quiet; silicone feels like skin to the touch
• What can improve: Short battery life

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 5-hour run time
• Noise level: Whisper quiet
• Modes: 7 intensity levels
• Waterproof: No; splashproof
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

The most impressive part of Lovense toys is the battery life. Second to that is their quality. Domi 2 holds a five-hour charge and has a soft silicone head that feels so smooth against the vulva—or any place else on the body you may want to use it. Its seven intensities are powerful, sending out vibrations far beyond where the direct contact may be, and yet the device is surprisingly quiet, especially for a wand vibrator. Domi 2 also has a flexible neck that allows its silicone head to get into spots and crevices that sometimes even the best wand vibes can’t. The vibe comes with two attachments that you can trade its bulbous tip for—a “female attachment” (it looks like a hooked finger and can slip inside the vagina, brush against the clit, or massage the vulva), and a “male attachment” (a little arm that can grip and vibrate against the penis or massage the prostate). The Lovense app is very straightforward and allows for long-distance play with a partner (or anyone else).

• What we love: Flexible; strong vibration patterns; long battery life
• What can improve: Pricey

• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable battery with 2-hour run time
• Noise level: Quiet
• Modes: 8 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes
• Remote- or app-controllable: App-controllable from anywhere

Cock rings aren’t just for partnered sex. By restricting the blood flow to the penis, they can help achieve fuller, more intense erections and delay climax. The app-controlled vibrating Tor 3 cock ring can easily be connected to the Lelo app, making long-distance play extra fun when a partner sends waves of vibration through the penis and the perineum. “This ring enhances sensations for two people,” Debra Laino, an AASECT-certified sex educator with a master’s in psychology, says. Cock rings vibrate across the clit, penis, and scrotum simultaneously during penetrative sex, enhancing the experience for both partners. While apart, either partner can use Tor 3, enjoying its intense vibrations, and have it managed by a partner. It’s super powerful for both my partner and myself, and the battery seems to have no end to it—which is great when I forget to charge it in between uses.

• What we love: Waterproof; flexible; intense vibrations
• What can improve: Might be uncomfortable for newbies
