Clitoral suction toys are orgasmic: they mimic the sensation of a mouth sucking on your clitoris without touching it. This intense yet gentle stimulation creates waves of pleasure that are felt throughout the clitoral hood, and leads to body-shaking orgasms—that can be experienced alone or with a partner. They’re perfect for folks who have trouble reaching clitoral orgasm through oral masturbation, penetrative sex or other erogenous stimulation. A third option is the HANX Cindy, which is the strongest of all clit suction toys (on this list) and is particularly big-clit-friendly. It also has a hidden control panel so you can keep the toy quiet during use, and a travel lock button for those who want a discreet toy that they can bring along on vacation.
The best clit suction toy will have a slick, discreet shape and soft texture that feels luxurious against the skin. It should also have a variety of settings, from subtle to wild, to suit your needs and intensity tolerances. If you’re new to clitoral suction toys, we recommend starting out with a more gentle toy—say, the Lelo Sila—and gradually working your way up the intensity levels. It also helps to practice using your clit suction toy in different positions, or during various types of pleasure.
While the classic clit suction toy is the most common type, there are also dual-stimulation toys that combine a clitoral suction with an internal G-spot stimulating element. Some clit suction toy brands even make licking and tongue-like components that tease the inner clitoris and enhance sensation.
Another option is the suction-only clitoral vibrator, which is ideal for vulvae who prefer more focused pleasure. It’s the most discreet of all options, and you can find a toy that looks like a tampon, which makes it easy to slip under the clothing.
If you’re looking for a more orgasmic clitoral suction toy, check out the Womanizer Premium 2, which boasts 12 vibration and clitoral suction settings, and autopilot mode that escalating in perfectly-timed increments to optimize pleasure. It’s also available in a sleek vegan leather carry case, which makes it perfect for travel.
As with all sex toys, clit suction toys should be cleaned thoroughly before and after each use to avoid any buildup of lubricant or sex residue that may inhibit sensation or numb the clitoris. Be extra careful to clean the hollowed-out part of the sex toy where your clit is placed, as this can be especially sensitive. When rinsing, apply toy cleaner in the hole-like area, as well as over the rest of the toy, and don’t forget to use your finger in all the nooks and crannies to be sure you’ve cleaned everything well. Also, remember to apply a little toy cleaner on the inside of the cup where your clit is held in place by the suction cups.
