App-controlled wearable vibrator kit for long-distance couples

At the heart of the kit is the Satisfyer Ribbed Petal, a wearable vibrator: its ribbed silicone shaft is inserted into the vagina and the outer part rests against the clitoris and labia. You control it with the remote control that comes with it or from your phone with the free Satisfyer Connect app, which also lets another person control it over the internet if you both agree. It comes with EROS Aqua lubricant, 100 ml, water-based, and the 50 ml alcohol-free EROS cleaning spray.

What's included

• Satisfyer Ribbed Petal Connect App, black: a wearable vibrator in silicone and ABS, with a ribbed, flexible shaft (an internal wire lets you bend it) and 12 vibration programmes. It comes with a wireless remote control, which runs on a CR2025 button cell battery, and a magnetic USB charging cable. It is water-resistant (IPX7), has a whisper mode and also works without the app. According to Satisfyer's guide, it charges in about 2 hours and gives about 45 minutes of use. Satisfyer gives a 15-year warranty.
• EROS Aqua, 100 ml: water-based lubricant, colourless and odourless, with no oil or perfume, suitable for latex condoms.
• EROS All Purpose Toy Cleaner, 50 ml: alcohol-free toy cleaning spray, suitable for all materials, including silicone.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)

For long-distance couples and for anyone who wants to hand control of the toy to someone else, at home or out and about: with the remote, in the same room; with the app, from somewhere else too. Satisfyer designs it to be worn with close-fitting underwear, which is what holds it in place.

It is not an anal toy: it is for vaginal use, with the outer part on the clitoris. And if you would rather not install anything, it works with the remote, but control from another city needs the app and an internet connection.

Why they go together

The Ribbed Petal is the piece the whole kit is built around: your partner can hold the remote or the app, close by or far away. The lubricant is water-based, which is what Satisfyer recommends for this vibrator, and the spray cleans it without alcohol. As the Petal is water-resistant, it can be rinsed with water without any problem after the cleaner.

How to use it

1. Charge it with the magnetic USB cable: the light flashes while it charges and stays on when it has finished, after about 2 hours.
2. Install the free Satisfyer Connect app (iOS and Android) and connect it via Bluetooth, or use it with the remote alone.
3. Put a little EROS Aqua on the shaft, insert it into the vagina and let the outer part rest on the clitoris and labia. Close-fitting underwear keeps it in place; try it for a short while before wearing it for longer.
4. Start at the lowest intensity and turn it up gradually. Hand the remote or the app to your partner, close by or at a distance.
5. To clean it, spray on the EROS spray, leave for 60 seconds and rinse with water.

Compatibility and care

• Silicone and ABS vibrator: water-based lubricant, like the EROS Aqua in the kit and as Satisfyer recommends. Silicone-based ones can damage silicone.
• Condoms: EROS Aqua is suitable for latex condoms. With latex, never use an oil-based lubricant.
• Water: the vibrator is water-resistant (IPX7), and Satisfyer also suggests it for the bath or shower.
• Cleaning: the EROS spray is alcohol-free and suitable for all materials, including silicone.
• Storage: between -5 and 60 °C, according to Satisfyer's guide.

How it differs from other kits

• Couples' starter kit: built around a Satisfyer Legendary Duo vibrating cock ring, with lubricant, cards and condoms. It is for using together in the same bed.
• Discreet travel kit: a ROMP Riot bullet vibrator with travel lubricant, spray and condoms, designed to go in your suitcase.
