Unlike vibrators like rabbits and wands, a clit sucker combines air pulses with vibrations to stimulate your nerve endings in your clit, which aim to help you achieve an orgasm worth shouting about. A clit sucker - or a clitoral suction vibrator - is designed to stimulate without contact, making them perfect for beginners and users who want the orgasm, without the fuss.
They’re also superb for individuals who enjoy oral sex, with many models simulating the same sensations."Think of it as a kiss for your clitoris, with air pulsation magic", explains Co-founder of SheSpot, Holly Jackson. "These are great for fans of intense clitoral sensations or those curious about a completely new feel."
"Clit suckers are quite different from a traditional vibrator", explains Sexpert Gigi Engle from SexToys.co.uk. "They don’t really vibrate, although some have a vibration setting.
"They use suction and air combo to surround the clitoris in the same way that mimics oral sex. It is very different from a vibrator, which uses vibration directly on the clitoris, it surrounds the clitoris. It is really great for people who have a more sensitive clitoris.
"So if they are finding vibrators too intense, they may find a clitoris sucker much better. They are also really user-friendly, and easy to use with partners."
Of course, as with most sex toys for women, there are hundreds of clit suckers to choose from. So, finding the right one for you and your clit can be tricky - but our roundup of the best clit suckers out there is here to help.

"Clit suckers are a great alternative for people who don't like vibrators," Gigi continues. "People who prefer clit suckers have also reported that they are the only toy that gives them orgasms.
"Some people have even reported that they are able to reach orgasm in 60 seconds, which is great for those looking for a ‘quick get in and out’ situation."
Gigi adds, however, that a clit sucker might not be the best option for those wanting to enjoy the journey to Mt. O. "They often produce orgasms so fast that the user doesn’t have the time to enjoy masturbation and seducing themself."
With that said, here are a few things to bear in mind when selecting the right clit sucker for you:
What material is it? Look for body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone.
Does it have adjustable settings? Ensure it offers multiple intensity levels and patterns.
What's the power source? Choose between USB-rechargeable or battery-powered options.
Consider the size and design and whether you prefer a compact or larger model.
It's noise level: you should opt for a quiet model if discretion is important.
Is it water resistant? Ideal for use in the shower or bath—check if it’s waterproof.
And finally, what's your budget? Balance your needs with the price; higher-quality materials may cost more.

Mags1862 · Recommended Every penny. Enjoy, lay back, and let it happen. Start low and increase as you near climax. Best toy I have ever had. See Post CandidClarisse · Recommended Best toy I've ever tried! See Post MrsGHarrison87 · Recommended It's a slow build up to a seriously intense orgasm.

Tested by Mumsnet editor, Rebecca Roberts: find her full review of the Satisfyer Pro here.
A quick glance at our sex Talk board, and you’ll find that there’s one toy that is mentioned over and over again. The Satisfyer Pro has long been hailed for delivering mind blowing orgasms thanks to its innovative Air Pulse technology, which stimulates the clitoris without touching it and mimics the sensation of oral sex.
Satisfyer’s latest release, the Pro 2.0 Gen 3 guarantees even more pleasure with its new design and the added Liquid Air, which mimics the feeling of pulsing water against your vulva. The long stream of glowing reviews tell you how impressive this bad boy is, so it’s definitely worth the splurge if you’re curious.
The small downside is the noise, as some customers said the top vibration can be a little distracting. Others commented that the vibration settings were a little too intense for them, so it depends on what you like. But with this toy, you certainly have a choice of different sensations.

Our verdict
This brand new toy introduces 3D Pleasure Air Technology, which is the reimagined version of the brand’s signature patented Pleasure Air Technology that we’ve seen in the likes of the Womanizer Pro40. This tech uses changes in air pressure to stimulate the clitoris and create a sucking sensation.
There are 14 different intensity levels to choose from and, quite impressively, the Womanizer Next has an autopilot setting, which alternates between settings in a mystery sequence for a sensual surprise. There’s also an ‘afterglow’ setting, which switches to the lowest vibrations after climax to ensure a gentle unwind.
The price is high but the technology is impressive and designed with maximum pleasure in mind. Judging from the glowing reviews, it might be an investment worth making.

It's fair to say that this buzzing heart will have yours beating faster than ever. The gorgeous design is discreet and perfect for travel, especially as it’s rechargeable and has a travel lock. It has Pleasure Air tech for thrilling pulsations and 10 intensity settings for an exciting variety. Customers also commented that the small seal offered a more precise fit and targeted pleasure.
One comment from customers is that the magnetic charger can drop out without you realising and isn’t as secure a fit as a plug in.

Mermaidparades · Recommended Yes! Yes! Yessssss! You’re in for a treat. See Post NCSexForum · Recommended I love it! I would use it everyday if I could. Fantastic or should that be orgasmic! See PostOur verdict
Tested by Mumsnet editor, Rebecca Roberts: read her full review of the Womanizer Pro40 here.
This toy certainly has plenty of recommendations on our sex Talk board. Boasting Womanizer’s Pleasure Air tech, it can deliver everything from pulsations to massaging sensations - without direct contact.
The design fits right into the palm of your hand and the intensity settings are available at the click of a button.
For almost £100, it does feel a little disappointing that you only get to enjoy six intensity settings. However, if the reviews are anything to go by, these six may be all you need. It’s ideal for solo play or some added spice in the bedroom with a partner.
Plus, the charge can last for four hours at a time. Perfect for even the longest of sessions…

MovingonfromMartin · Recommended I have the LH Romp. It is the best toy I have used out of an ever increasing selection. Utterly phenomenal with earth shattering orgasms like nothing I have ever experienced! See PostOur verdict
This toy is highly rated by our Mumsnet users and customers alike. Similar to the Womanizer clit suckers in this roundup, it boasts Pleasure Air Technology, which creates waves and pulses for tingling sensations without physical touch.
It’s also a pretty affordable price compared to the Womanizer Next and Womanizer Pro40, and reviews insist that the battery life is equally impressive. Its compact size means it’s ideal for naughty weekends away too.
The one downside is that despite claiming to have a whisper quiet mode, customers insist that the Lovehoney X ROMP clit sucker is quite noisy. It might be a small price to pay for mind blowing orgasms but also something to consider if you live in a busy household!

Mermaidparades · Recommended If clit stimulation is your thing then one of the suction toys or a magic wand would be just the thing! See PostOur verdict
Reviewed and recommended by Mumsnet editor, Rebecca: read our review of the HANX Cindy clit sucker.
Only released in 2023, the HANX Cindy toy is a fantastic choice for those of you in search of a compact, travel-friendly clitoral suction stimulator at a reasonable price point.
Its 10 suction and vibration modes offer plenty of variety, and the quiet operation ensures discretion both in and out of the home. The medical-grade silicone feels premium and is super easy to clean, while the magnetic USB charging makes it hassle-free to use repeatedly.
However, while it’s waterproof, the 30-minute, one meter limit may not satisfy those who want longer or deeper bath-time play.
Additionally, it's exclusively for external use, so it may not appeal to users looking for dual stimulation. That said, for portability, versatility, and value, HANX's new Cindy clitoral suction toy shines as a reliable and enjoyable mini clit sucker in our eyes.

What is a clit sucker?
Clit suckers are innovative sex toys that use pulsing suction and air pressure to stimulate the entire clitoral area, including the thousands of nerve endings below the surface.
Unlike traditional vibrators like wands, rabbits and bullets, which focus on surface stimulation, clit suckers often provide a sensation that mimics oral sex and can lead to deeper, more intense orgasms.
According to Gigi Engle, Sexpert at SexToys.co.uk, "Clit suckers are quite different from a traditional vibrator. They don’t really vibrate, although some have a vibration setting.
"They use [a] suction and air combo to surround the clitoris in the same way that mimics oral sex. It is really great for people who have a more sensitive clitoris. So if they are finding vibrators too intense, they may find a clitoris sucker much better."

How does a clit sucker work?
The best clit vibe works by creating a gentle suction effect combined with air pulses, which stimulate the clitoris and the surrounding area. The suction head encircles the clitoris without direct contact, offering a sensation that’s often described as more subtle yet deeply stimulating compared to traditional vibrators.
Many models feature multiple intensity settings, like the popular Womanizer Pro40, so users can choose between a soft, teasing sensation or a more powerful, orgasm-inducing experience.
How to choose a clit sucker
Choosing the right clit sucker depends on your preferences and needs. Here are some detailed factors to consider:
Technology: Look for models with Pleasure Air technology, like the Womanizer range, which delivers a combination of suction and air pressure for consistent stimulation.
Settings: Choose a clit sucker with a wide range of intensity levels. This ensures you can start with gentle settings and gradually increase stimulation as desired.
Design: Compact and ergonomic designs are ideal for ease of use, especially during solo play or when using the toy with a partner.
Waterproof features: Many clit suckers, like the Satisfyer Pro 2, are waterproof, making them perfect for bath or shower use.
Power source: Decide between rechargeable and battery-operated models. Rechargeable toys are more eco-friendly and cost-effective in the long run.
Dual-functionality: If you want a toy that offers clitoral and internal stimulation, consider models like the Womanizer OG or Satisfyer Pro+ G Spot, which have insertable features.
Noise Level: If discretion is important to you, check reviews for quieter models.
Engle emphasises, "Every body is different, so experiment with different toys and settings to figure out what works best for you."
How to use a clit sucker
Using a clit sucker is simple and intuitive. These toys are in fact, probably one of the easiest types our team have tried:
Prepare: Clean your toy before use with warm water and a toy-safe cleanser. Make sure it’s dry before starting.
Apply lubrication: Use a water-based lubricant on the clitoral area and the suction head. This enhances the seal and improves the experience.
Position the toy: Place the suction head over the clitoris so it encircles the area. Ensure it’s snug but not uncomfortable.
Adjust settings: Start with the lowest intensity setting and gradually increase as you get comfortable.
Explore: Move the toy gently around the clitoral area if desired, or hold it in place for steady stimulation.
Finish and clean: After use, clean your clit sucker thoroughly and store it in a safe, dry place.
What does a clit sucker feel like?
Many users describe the sensation of a clit sucker as similar to oral sex. The combination of suction and air pulses creates a gentle, fluttering sensation that surrounds the clitoris rather than directly stimulating it.
This can feel less intense than vibrations but often leads to deeper, more satisfying orgasms. As Gigi Engle points out, "clit suckers are a great alternative for people who don’t like vibrators. They are gentle and mimic oral sex, which many people find incredibly pleasurable."
Related: How to improve your sex drive
What makes clit suckers different from traditional vibrators in terms of sensation and stimulation?
Clit suckers and other vibrators like wands provide very different experiences. Traditional vibrators apply direct vibrations to the clitoral surface, which can feel too intense for some people. Clit suckers, on the other hand, use suction and air to surround the clitoris, offering a sensation that is both gentler and deeply stimulating.
Engle says, "because clit suckers don’t rely solely on vibration, they’re a great option for people who want to try something different. The suction surrounds the clitoris rather than directly targeting it, so it feels more like oral sex than a traditional vibrator."
Can you use lubrication with a clit sucker?
Yes, and it’s highly recommended! A water-based lubricant enhances the seal between the suction head and your skin, making the sensations even more pleasurable. Lubrication can also reduce any friction and ensure a smoother experience.
Avoid silicone-based lubricants, as they can damage the material of silicone sex toys - and many clitoral suction toys are made of silicone.
Related: Can using sex toys improve your health?
Can you insert a clit sucking toy?
Clit suckers are primarily designed for external use, but some models combine clitoral suction with an insertable feature for internal stimulation.
For example, the Womanizer OG and Satisfyer Pro+ G Spot include a shaft for dual pleasure, offering simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation. These models are perfect for anyone looking to experience blended orgasms.
What should I do if a clit sucker doesn’t work for me?
If a clit sucker doesn’t work for you, it’s completely normal. Everyone’s body responds differently to various types of stimulation, and what works wonders for one person may not be the best fit for another.
Although, according to Gigi Engle, "there isn’t anybody that clit suckers least suit! It’s completely up to each individual to experiment with different stimulations and figure out what works for them, because every body is different.
"If you try a toy and feel it’s not for you, that’s totally fine. There’s nothing wrong with that and there are so many different kinds of toys with so many different settings because everyone’s body is so different."
Exploring other types of toys or methods of stimulation can help you discover what works best for your unique preferences.
