How to Use an App Controlled Vibrator

Each and every app controlled toy will come with a full set of instructions. If these get lost a quick search on google for a user manual will provide a downloadable replacement. But the following steps are pretty standard for most toys.

1. Download the required app.
2. Pair your device with the app. To do this the toy will need to be in close proximity to the device (phone or smartwatch)
3. Has the app controlled sex toy got plenty of power? If it is battery powered, ensure the batteries are good quality and new. If it is rechargeable ensure it is fully charged. And if it is a plug in, mains operated app toy, then don’t stress!
4. Familiarise yourself with how to use the app and operate the toy.
5. Set the mood – Turn off the tv. Lock the front door and send the kids to grandma. Nobody can enjoy themselves fully whilst being distracted. Make the room you play in inviting and sensual. Light candles or play music. Whatever it is that turns you on… do it.
6. Lube up. All sex toys, app toys or not, work best with lube. A water based lube can be used with any type of sex toy and any type of condom making them a quick and easy choice. Using a sex lube will make orgasms easier and heighten excitement. They also reduce any risk of friction for a smooth and comfortable ride.

Top tip – when it comes to batteries for sex toys, don’t try to borrow them from the TV remote and don’t buy cheap and cheerful. A battery powered sex toy will only be as good as its power source so always go for quality to get the best experience possible.

Tips For Controlling a Partner’s Vibrator

Now, we’re not about to try and teach you to suck eggs. And at the end of the day, what you do with your sex toys is totally down to you and your imagination. But, there are a few handy hints passionbugs can share if to ensure you get maximum fun from your app toy.

If you are playing in the same room or house, decide who is the giver and who is receiving.

If you are playing from afar decide whether to play with yourself for your partners visual enjoyment. Or hand them control via the app.

Together or apart the following things are great to try:

• Experiment with the varied app settings. Will you use an app setting or create your own? Will you link to your music or theirs?
• Why not try starting slowly before building up to a crescendo of climaxing action.
• Give edging a go. This is where your take your partner, or yourself to the point of almost climaxing, before stopping all stimulation and then starting again. This teasing will ensure that when orgasm is finally reached, it will feel stronger and far more intense.
• Tempted by public play? What could be sexier than hitting a nightclub or dining out wearing your app controlled vibrator? Imagine not knowing if or when your partner is going to literally turn you on?!

Choosing Your First App Controlled Vibrator

When it comes to choosing an app controlled vibrator there are a few pointers to consider. Taking a moment to think about your own needs and preference will ensure you choose the best app controlled vibrator for you.

• What turns you on? – Are you wanting clitoral, anal or vaginal stimulation. Or something entirely different?
• Waterproof – Does the toy need to be waterproof? Are you planning to take your playtime into the bathroom, hot tub or even a swimming pool?
• Power source –Consider if the toy needs to be rechargeable, battery powered or even mains powered via a plug. Do you need to earn some eco warrior points and bring down you own carbon footprint? If so a rechargeable toy is the way to go.
• Vibration & Speeds – Different apps have different features. So it makes sense to think about the variety of speeds and setting you want.
• Volume – Some people prefer an extra quiet sex toy. Maybe they want to be discreet. Maybe they want no distractions during play or maybe they want to take their new toy out and about in public… I
• Budget – One of the easiest ways to reduce the options available to choose from, is to set a budget. At passionbugs you can easily set the budget using the price filter on the left hand side of any sex toy page.
