Massage wands

A corded or rechargeable wand covers both deep-tissue and sensual use. A compact rechargeable wand with a flexible head is the pick for most couples.

For long-distance couples, app-controlled toys let a partner run the massage remotely; pick a brand with a mature app and replaceable charging cable.

Fractionated coconut oil is cheap, unscented and doesn't stain as badly as sweet almond. Warm the bottle in a bowl of hot water first.
