Long distance relationships are usually spent pining your time until you can see your love again. Using these essentials will help ease that hardship.
Sure, you signed up for the long distance relationship. You knew what
you were getting into the moment you committed yourself to your
partner. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy or that you hardly ever miss
them. In fact, it means the opposite.
Those of you in long distance relationships probably miss your
partner a heck of a lot more than people who know they’ll get to see
their significant other in just a couple days. You never really get
“used” to it like so many people think.
And maybe you never signed up for this type of relationship in the
first place, but certain circumstances made it impossible for the two of
you to live near each other. Either way, you’re feeling the pain of
having to go long periods of time without being with the one person you
really want to be with.
LDR Essentials that can help!
As tough as long distance relationships can be, there are so many new
developments that have made it so much easier for those in these types
of relationships. A phone call every night before bed is one way to get
through the time you have to spend apart, but what about all of these
better ways?
#1 Long distance pillows. One of the best ways to
survive your long distance relationship is the newly developed long
distance pillow, also known as “pillow talk.” This amazing invention is a
pair of pillows that light up when the other is lying on it. So, when
you lie down at night, you’ll know your lover is in bed if your pillow
has turned on. It’s like sleeping next to them, only not.
#2 Dual time zone watches. If you’re in an extreme
situation, where the two of you are in completely different time zones,
get a watch that has two time faces on it. This will allow you to always
know what time it is wherever your significant other is. This comes in
handy when you want to call them, but you’re not sure if they’re still
at work or not. A quick check of your watch will help you out a lot.
#3 Apps that allow you to watch movies together.
Surprisingly, there are a large number of apps you can use so that both
of you can connect to a movie and watch it at the exact same time. You
can even video chat while the movie is going on so it’ll be as if
they’re really there. A couple of great examples are Gaze and Rabbit.
They allow you to video chat and watch movies at the same time.
#4 Countdown clocks. Sure, you can have a countdown
timer app on your phone that tells you how many days, hours, minutes,
and seconds until you actually get to lay eyes on your lover again, but
you actually have to open that app to see it.
If you get an actual physical clock that displays the time, you’ll
wake up each day and get to see that you’re one day closer to being in
their arms again.
#5 Taptap wristband. This newer invention takes the
idea of the long distance pillow to the next level. With this pair of
wristbands, each of you wears one and whenever one person taps it, the
other person will feel that tap as a vibration against their wrist.
This makes it really fun if the two of you create “tap codes.” You
can use three taps to mean a certain thing, and so on. It’s a fun game
and is super convenient if you want to send your partner encouragement
before a big presentation, etc.
#6 A journal. Some people find it kind of cheesy to
use a notebook, but it’s actually really helpful. Even though you might
spend your day texting or communicating with your significant other in
some way or another, you don’t necessarily get to actually tell them
everything, especially the small, day-to-day stuff.
Using a journal, you can write down your day, how you felt about it,
and anything else you want them to know. At the end of the month, you
both switch notebooks, read each other’s entries, and keep the process
rolling. This allows you to be intimate in a unique way.
#7 Couple App. This is a unique app in the way that
it connects you in so many different ways. You can message each other,
share photos, have a dual calendar for dates, to-do lists, and even a
thumb-kiss feature that makes your phone vibrate when the two of you are
touching the same spot on your screens.
#8 Clone-A-Willy. Yes, it’s actually exactly what it
sounds like. Sex is a huge part of any relationship and just because
your lover is nowhere close to you, that doesn’t mean you can’t have
some fun. For you ladies out there, have your man clone his willy!
This product is made to make an exact replica of his member, so you
can use it as a sex toy and feel like he’s right there with you! It’s a
perfect way to never feel bad about having alone time with yourself.
#9 A means to video chat. Whether it’s using
Facetime on your iPhone, or chatting through Skype on any tablet device,
video chatting is vital in maintaining your relationship. It allows you
to have *sort of* face-to-face conversations and establishes an
intimacy you just can’t get over a phone call.
#10 Sex toys! Clone-A-Willy isn’t the only sex toy
you can use to keep the heat in your long distance relationship. Both of
you can use sex toys while getting intimate over the phone to make the
act seem like it’s coming from the other person. So surprise your
partner and buy them a toy you know they’ll love!
These 3 things are on the way!
More and more people are getting into long distance relationships,
more so now than ever before, thanks to all the fantastic technology
that can keep them connected. That means there are more developments
every day that will aid in the survival of those couples. Including
these:
#1 Hug shirt. When you’re wearing this hug shirt,
your partner will actually be able to send you a “hug” and you’ll be
able to feel it in some form.
#2 Vibrating underwear controlled by partner. This
is going to be exactly as it sounds. Your significant other will be able
to control different levels of vibrations in your underwear! Talk about
an interesting day at work.
#3 Bluetooth-controlled “smart vibrator.” This
vibrator will be controlled and sync up to your favorite erotic videos.
Your partner will be able to choose a video, and the vibrator will
connect with that video to give you an experience that matches what is
happening on screen.
Long distant relationships don’t have to be that hard. With
all of these awesome ways to stay connected, it’ll be like they’re right
there with you!
