Long-distance relationships are challenging [1] in many ways, but arguably, the most affected area is your sex life. Your own hands can fill part of the void, but bringing a sex toy into the mix can help you feel like your partner is right there with you. That's why we've rounded up the best sex toys for long-distance lovers.
No machine can ever replace your significant other, but these toys can certainly help pass the time until you're physically together again [2]. Each one provides a different sensation, helping you find the one (or two!) most like your partner's touch.Whether you've got a digital date with your partner [3] or are spending time alone, fantasizing [4] about when you'll see each other again, these toys are sure to help fill the void.
Eva II by Dame
The flexible wings of the Eva II [5] ($135) fit under your labia to provide secure, hands-free vibration to your clitoris. Use it alone or pair it with a penetrative device but, either way, your hands will be free to hold the phone and tell your partner everything you're thinking and feeling.
TENGA FLEX Rocky
The TENGA FLEX Rocky [6] ($39) is designed to fit snug around the penis, spinning and stimulating as it's moved up and down. Filled with lubricant, the spiral-ribbed sleeve is transformed into a wet dream, and covering the air hole at the tip with a finger creates a sucking sensation that, until now, was a sensation reserved for couples.
We-Vibe Sync
The We-Vibe Sync [7] ($199) is a dual stimulation device that provides hands-free pleasure to your clitoris and G-spot at the same tiem. The adjustable design allows you to find the perfect fit for your body. And the best part? The We-Connect app allows you or your partner to control it from anywhere in the world. Set it on beat mode to sync to your favourite song or touch mode to take control into your (or your lover's) own hands.
The Womanizer Classic
Using a unique Pleasure Air Technology, The Womanizer Classic [8] ($129) stimulates the clitoris without ever actually touching it.

It doesn't get much closer to the feeling of actual, penetrative sex than the Shameless Seducer [9] ($250). It has seven different vibrations, four thrusting patterns, and a vibrating teaser for your clitoris. This is the perfect accessory to a goodnight phone call with your partner. The only thing it can't do is cuddle with you afterward.
SONA 2 Cruise by LELO
The SONA™ 2 Cruise [10] ($139) uses quick, gentle sonic waves to stimulate the clitoris. The silicone is specially engineered to absorb the waves and release them back onto the clitoris, causing the sensation to go even deeper.

Petting Hippo by Satisfyer
Don't let the playful name and design fool you — the Petting Hippo [13] ($50) means business. It is designed for deep G-spot stimulation, with a flexible shaft and strong vibrations that mean you'll have no problem hitting all the places you can't reach on your own.
