Long-distance relationships are hard. There's no denying that it can be a struggle for even the best partners to deal with the miles between them, especially when it comes to sex. Yes, of course, we know the joys of sexting and FaceTime dates, but it's not the same as your paramour having a literal hand in helping you get to your orgasm.

Luckily, technology is ever-evolving, and there is now an entire category of sex toys that are pretty much made for people in LDRs. Enter: app-controlled vibrators. In our tech-advanced world, it's no surprise that many sex toys now connect to smartphone apps that can be controlled from anywhere in the world. And although you and your partner may not physically be together, there's something undeniably sexy about handing over the controls to your pleasure.

Our one small caveat: because these vibes fall under the category of sex tech, they're more of a splurge than your typical toy. But, hey, if they're for both of you... why not split the cost? Or splurge for a long-distance anniversary? The options are endless to help you and your person relieve your LDR-induced stress and separation anxiety.

Ahead, check out the best app-connected sex toys that will help keep you satisfied long after you've reunited.
