Long-distance toys
Long-distance control is the feature most often misunderstood at purchase. Many devices advertise remote control but only work over Bluetooth, which means the same room. Genuine long-distance requires the manufacturer to route control through its servers, which brings both a reliability question and a privacy question. Both are covered in every entry here.

Lovense Ferri vs OhMiBod Foxy: two magnetic wearables for long-distance play
Same idea, same placement, same promise of control from anywhere. The difference is what each app wraps around the device, and how much each manufacturer is willing to put in writing.

We-Vibe Chorus vs Lovense Dolce: physical remote or independent motors
Two wearable couples vibrators that solve the control problem in opposite directions. One removes the phone from the loop, the other requires it to unlock the feature that makes it interesting.

What to consider
What to check before connecting an intimate device to an app
