Pssst….are you looking for more ways to play with your remote control toy?! Check out our previous blog post!

Why play with a remote control toy?

Adding versatility to your play, a remote control instantly turns any toy into a couple’s one as soon as you hand off the remote (and ultimately the control) to a partner or lover. They can also easily be added into various types of BDSM play including Dominant/submissive play, edging, with rope & restraint play, etc.

For solo play, a remote control makes things easier and more comfortable by putting the controls right at your fingertips. This can be helpful especially in difficult-to-reach positions and activities, like solo anal play.

Rockin’ Remotes

Different toys come with different types of remote controls, so let’s break them down.

Wired vs. Wireless

Some remotes come attached to the toy by wire, however, many also come wireless. Most handheld remotes are considered close-range as they typically only operate within a certain amount of distance. This is usually advertised, however things like walls, being seated, if the toy is inserted into the body, etc. can all interfere with the connection.

Handheld vs. App Remote

If you wanted more long-distance and/or discreet control, look for a toy that can be controlled by an app! Many different brands offer their own app that can be used to control your toy from both close and long-distance and offer other fun in-app features too.
