In a hurry? Click here to go straight to our top four remote controlled butt plugs.
The rear entrance. What was once a topic rarely spoken about sexually is starting to lose it's taboo status.
Which is great!
People are becoming more comfortable within their own bodies and understanding what they like and are willing to try.
Now, there are devices that long distance couples can take advantage of to control each others pleasure from afar.
How Do Remote Controlled Butt Plugs Work?
Remote controlled butt plugs work similarly to regular ones, with or without a vibrating motor.
Where they differ is that they connect to an external or remote device that allows you or your partner to control the movements, vibrations and their intensity.
An external remote could be a simple controller that sends signals via radio frequency. Or they could be a more powerful app on your smartphone that sends signals via bluetooth or the internet.
Internet and bluetooth connected butt plugs are the options for couples in long distance relationships.
Reasons To Try A Butt Plug With Your Long Distance Partner
You might be intrigued but still on the fence (pun intended). Here are four reasons to give them a try.
- Add a spark: You’re always looking for something new and exciting to add to a relationship. This is a great way to expand your horizons.
- Untapped zone: It’s a key erogenous zone. Once you get past the shyness, you open up a whole new world of pleasure.
- Discreet: You could head out to work or a bar and no-one would have a clue you were wearing one, which definitely adds a level of excitement to any situation.
Remote Controlled Butt Plugs

We-Vibe has been producing some of the worlds best adult products for over ten years and has won countless awards in the process. Their remote controlled butt plug, Ditto, is no different.

To note: The next two remote controlled adult toys are known as prostate massagers. They deliver a similar experience for the user, but are made for men.
Vector by We-Vibe
Vector is We-Vibe's flagship device that focuses on prostate and perineum stimulation.
Because every body is different the head is completely adjustable and the base can flex also, giving you the ability to better target both zones for maximum pleasure.
Just like We-Vibe's remote controlled butt plug, Vector is made of 'Body Safe' silicone to provide a smooth and comfortable fit.
The video below with Dr. Chris Donaghue will give you a good idea on what to expect from the Vector.
Long Distance Control
You or your partner can take full control of the Vector through the We-Connect app. But there are some different vibration modes specifically designed for this device:
- Low, Medium, High & Ultra
- Pulse, Wave, Echo, Tide, Crest & Surf
Vector Features We Like
- It has two 'whisper quiet' motors rather than just one.
- Designed in collaboration with leading prostate experts.

Edge by Lovense
Many men don't know much about prostate and perineum pleasure, or don't feel comfortable talking about it. The Edge from Lovense could be a good introductory option.
Similar to the Vector, the Edge is also adjustable to make sure you get a fit that touches exactly where you want it to. The video below gives you a good indication as to how flexible, yet stable, it is.

Lovense's Remote app works perfectly with this device and has all of the same features that can be used on the Hush.

Before Buying A Remote Controlled Butt Plug
Talking Consent
Consent plays a huge role in any happy and healthy relationship, new or established and for long distance couples it should be no different.
Being intimate online isn't for everyone. You would not want your partner to pressure you to do things you are not comfortable doing.
So before moving forward, it's important to talk about and respect each others boundaries to make sure you're both on the same page.
Think About Sizing
If you are a novice, think about what your body can and can not handle. The whole 'crawl before you can walk' scenario!
It’s recommended to start off with a smaller size and only increasing overtime if you are comfortable doing so (and want to).
Knowing the right information and asking the important questions before jumping in will create a much more relaxed and pleasurable experience.
Making Sure It's 'Body Safe'
It's probably the most important term you should look for when reviewing any sex toy's description. But what does it mean?
A product being 'Body Safe' means that it is:
- Non-toxic: It isn't made from materials that can leach into your body.
- Non-porous: The materials aren't penetrable and won't 'store' bacteria.
If you can't find this statement or only see wording around the product being 'Skin Safe' it's best to stay away.
To note: All four remote control butt plugs we've mentioned use Body Safe materials like medical grade silicone and DO NOT include materials such as latex, jelly, PVC and vinyl.
Cleaning Tips
Cleaning your toys might not be the sexiest job but it MUST be done and is a vital part of staying safe while you are having fun.
Reputable companies like We-Vibe and Lovense will include cleaning guides with their products and online. But here are some basics to follow:
- Clean your toy before and after use.
- Use a small amount of mild, fragrance free soap.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Keep away from temperature extremes.
Other Points To Remember
There are some key pointers that you want to remember about using a butt plug that should be followed at all times to ensure the maximum safety and pleasure.
- Always use lubricant.
- Use a water-based lubricant on silicone.
- It should never be painful.
- The models above won’t get stuck inside.
- Nope, you wont poop! (The sensation or feeling only is common for novices)
Our Recommended Remote Controlled Butt Plug
If we had to pick one remote controlled butt plug for you to try it would be the Ditto by We-Vibe. We’ve already mentioned that size is important and their device has the smallest insertable diameter, which makes it a great introductory device.
They also have a regular remote for local use, which is not available with Lovense's Hush.
Another benefit with We-Vibe is that they include a single use lubricant packet and a silk pouch (some devices) for convenient storage and protection.
