App & Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
App and remote controlled butt plugs are anal plugs with a built-in vibrating motor that can be adjusted wirelessly using a physical remote or a smartphone app. They insert and stay in place the way a standard butt plug does, but the vibration settings can be changed by the wearer or a partner without removing or touching the toy. They are used during solo sex, partnered sex, and for discreet wear during other activities.

Why Choose App and Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
- A partner controls anal stimulation during sex without either person managing the toy manually. During penetrative sex or oral sex, a partner can adjust the vibration intensity and pattern of a worn butt plug using a remote or app without interrupting physical contact. The person wearing the plug receives continuous anal stimulation throughout sex without either person holding or repositioning the toy.
- Hands-free anal vibration during masturbation. An app-controlled butt plug worn during solo masturbation provides anal stimulation automatically without requiring a free hand to hold or move a toy. Both hands remain free for penile or clitoral stimulation throughout the session, which produces a combined experience that is difficult to achieve with separately held toys.
- Discreet wear with a partner controlling stimulation from nearby or at distance. App-controlled butt plugs can be worn under clothing in everyday situations with a partner adjusting vibration settings via an app from nearby or remotely. The vibration is not audible to others at low settings and the toy is not visible externally. This is used by couples who want to incorporate controlled stimulation into shared time outside the bedroom.
- Long-distance partner control in real time. App-controlled models with internet connectivity allow a partner to control the plug from anywhere in the world. During a video call, one partner adjusts intensity and patterns in response to the wearer's feedback in real time, creating an interactive experience that works across any distance.
- Prostate stimulation with remote control for people with penises. App and remote controlled butt plugs worn during sex provide prostate stimulation from inside the rectum without either person holding the toy. Some models are curved specifically to press against the prostate. Partner control of the vibration intensity during penetrative sex creates combined prostate and penile stimulation that is entirely hands-free.
Types of App and Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
Standard app-controlled butt plugs are smooth silicone plugs with a vibrating motor inside and Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone app. The plug shape has a tapered body that widens toward the base and a narrow neck that the sphincter closes around to hold it in place. The app controls vibration speed and pattern. Browse the full butt plugs collection for non-vibrating and non-connected versions in a full range of sizes.
Remote controlled butt plugs work the same way as app-controlled designs but use a physical wireless remote rather than a smartphone app. The remote typically works within 5 to 10 metres. These are simpler to operate in situations where using a phone would be conspicuous and do not require a Bluetooth connection.
Prostate-targeting app-controlled plugs have a curved shaft that angles toward the front wall of the rectum where the prostate sits. The vibration is directed toward the prostate rather than delivered uniformly throughout the plug. These are specifically for people with penises who want targeted prostate vibration with wireless control. See the full prostate massagers collection for dedicated prostate designs.
Jewelled and decorative app-controlled butt plugs combine the connectivity and vibration of an app-controlled plug with a decorative jewelled or metallic base that is visible externally during wear. These are popular for aesthetic and role-play contexts as well as functional use.
Large or graduated app-controlled butt plugs are sized for experienced anal toy users who want more fullness alongside vibration and remote control. These require prior experience with anal toys and thorough warm-up before use.

Who Buys App and Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
App and remote controlled butt plugs are bought by couples who want to incorporate anal stimulation into partnered sex without either person managing the toy manually during sex. The combination of hands-free wear and remote control removes the practical barrier of holding or adjusting an anal toy during active sex.
People with penises who want prostate stimulation during solo masturbation or partnered sex buy app-controlled plugs specifically for the ability to have the vibration adjusted remotely or automatically while both hands are free for other stimulation.
Long-distance couples buy app-controlled models for the same reason as other app-controlled toys. The ability for one partner to control anal stimulation in the other person's body from anywhere in the world is a genuinely distinct and intimate form of long-distance connection.
Couples who are interested in power dynamics and dominant and submissive roles buy app-controlled butt plugs specifically for the dynamic of one partner controlling anal stimulation of the other remotely, including in public situations where the stimulation is invisible to others.
Choosing App and Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
Start with a size appropriate to your anal toy experience. A first app-controlled butt plug should be a size you are already comfortable with anally. If you are new to anal toys, choose a slim beginner design first. Adding app control and vibration to an oversized plug makes the experience uncomfortable regardless of the connectivity features. Size is the first consideration, not the technology.
Flared base is non-negotiable for all anal toys. Every butt plug used anally must have a flared base wider than the body of the plug. This applies equally to app-controlled designs. Confirm the base dimensions before purchasing and ensure it sits outside the body at all times during use.
Physical remote versus app for your specific use case. A physical remote is more discreet in situations where using a phone would be noticed and does not require a phone. An app offers more customisation, longer control range, and in some models internet connectivity for long-distance use. Choose based on how and where you plan to use the toy.
Motor placement and vibration reach. On smaller butt plugs, the motor typically sits near the base and vibration travels through the plug body. On larger designs, the motor may be positioned higher in the plug for more direct internal stimulation. Check product descriptions for where the motor is placed if vibration reach is a priority.
Noise level for discreet wear. App-controlled butt plugs used in clothing or during sex with a partner where discretion matters need to be quiet at the settings you intend to use. Check reviews specifically for noise level during active use rather than when held in isolation.
Looking After Your App and Remote Controlled Butt Plugs
Clean app-controlled butt plugs before and after every use with warm water and toy cleaner or mild unscented soap. Pay attention to the neck of the plug and the base around the motor housing where residue collects. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing or charging.
Use water-based lubricant only with silicone butt plugs. Apply generously to both the plug and the anal opening before insertion. The anus does not self-lubricate and generous lubrication is essential for comfortable insertion and wear. Have more lubricant within reach to reapply if the session is extended.
Keep the app updated for Bluetooth-connected models. Store in a clean pouch away from other silicone toys. Charge using the provided cable and keep the charging port dry.
Goes Well With
Anal lubricant is the essential companion for any butt plug including app-controlled designs. Apply generously before insertion and reapply during extended wear. A thicker gel-style water-based lubricant stays on the surface better during anal use than a thin runny formula.
An app-controlled butt plug worn during penetrative sex combines with the natural stimulation of sex for the wearer. A partner controlling the vibration intensity in real time during sex creates a layered experience that standard sex positions and standard vibrators used separately cannot replicate in the same hands-free way.
For people with penises using an app-controlled butt plug during masturbation, a male masturbator used simultaneously provides penile stimulation while the plug handles anal and prostate stimulation automatically. Both toys operate independently with no hands required to manage either once positioned.

Frequently asked questions
What is an app controlled butt plug and how does it work?
An app controlled butt plug is an anal plug with a built-in vibrating motor that connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Once inserted, the vibration speed and pattern can be adjusted through a dedicated app on either the wearer's phone or a partner's phone, without touching or removing the toy. The plug sits in place the way a standard butt plug does, held by the natural grip of the anal sphincter around the narrowed neck. The vibration provides anal stimulation throughout wear and can be changed in real time by whoever controls the app.
Do I need a smartphone to use an app controlled butt plug?
You need a smartphone to use the app control features on an app-controlled model. However, most app-controlled butt plugs also have physical buttons on the toy itself that allow basic operation without the app. The app provides additional features including custom pattern creation, music sync, and long-distance partner control that the buttons on the toy cannot replicate. If you want to use the toy without a phone at all, consider a remote controlled butt plug that uses a dedicated physical wireless remote instead of an app.
What size app controlled butt plug should I start with?
Choose a size based on your existing experience with anal toys. If you are new to anal toys, choose a slim design with a maximum diameter of around 2.5 to 3 cm. If you have prior experience with butt plugs or anal sex, start at a size you know you are comfortable with. App control and vibration are features added to the plug's basic function. Getting the size right first is more important than the technology. A plug that is too large is uncomfortable regardless of how good the app is.
Can an app controlled butt plug be worn during penetrative sex?
Yes. Butt plugs are specifically designed to stay in place during activity, including during penetrative sex. An app-controlled plug worn by one partner during sex provides anal stimulation for that person throughout the session without either person holding or managing the toy. The partner controls the vibration settings via the remote or app during sex. For people with penises wearing the plug during penetration, the anal fullness and prostate vibration combined with penile stimulation during sex produces a distinct layered experience that many people describe as significantly more intense than sex without the plug.
What lubricant should I use with an app controlled butt plug?
Use water-based lubricant with silicone butt plugs. Silicone-based lubricant degrades silicone surfaces over time. The anus does not produce any natural lubrication so generous application before insertion is essential, not optional. Apply lubricant to both the plug and the anal opening. Have more within reach to reapply if you plan to wear the plug for an extended period. A thicker gel-style water-based lubricant stays in place better during anal wear than a thin, runny formula.
