World’s first phone-powered sex toy gives new meaning to ‘putting it on vibrate’

BY MAYA M

I’ll be the first to admit that any time I’m lying down and my phone starts to vibrate, I seriously consider testing it out as a vibrator. If you, too, are someone who just can’t shake that thought from your mind when it occurs to you, worry not. The world’s first accessory that turns your smartphone into a vibrator is about to be a thing. We have truly taken technology to new heights. What a time to be alive.

The product is called izivibe and it basically is a phone case with a handle (which makes it look kind of like a hairbrush) that amplifies the vibrations of your phone to work as a powerful vibrator. The handle can also work as a dildo and the vibrations extend all the way down the structure ensuring that every piece of the gadget vibrates, whether its inside of you or on you. The case is made from 100 percent medical-grade, hypoallergenic silicon and features seven different vibration modes which can be controlled by the volume buttons or a slider. The izivibe comes with an app that lets you use it with someone else controlling, which is a great way for people in relationships to keep the spice in their sex life when they’re apart.

Though there’s no official release date for the product, it would be pretty incredible if it hit stores before Christmas so I could put it in my girlfriend’s stocking and people everywhere could discreetly get it on in a room when extended family is just too much during the holidays. However, while you’re waiting for the izivibe to be available at your local sex toy shop, here are some other sex toys you can control with your phone.

1. We Vibe 4 Plus

Bustle

We Vibe 4 Plus connects with your smartphone and can be used in a variety of different ways. Whether it’s with your partner, in conjunction with sex involving more than one body or masturbation, We Vibe Plus 4 is small, packed with features, and highly customizable. What’s not to love?

2. OhMiBod Blue Motion

The Blue Motion Nex is a wearable vibrator that, like the We Vibe, gives both you and your partner the power to turn up the heat when you’re together or apart using a simple smartphone app. A cool thing about the app is it also lets you send pictures and record audio while using the wearable for a sexual experience that truly engages all the senses.

3. Lovesense

Bustle

Lovesense is pretty great, especially for couples, because it’s actually two sex toys. Nora (which is best for people with vaginas) and Max (which is best for people with penises) can both be controlled by smartphone apps and be activated from many miles away. Like the We Vibe 4 Plus, it’s great for long-distance relationships.
