What is a clitoral suction stimulator?
In short, it’s a mini vacuum that sits over and stimulates the clitoris. But we're nothing if not comprehensive when it comes to the clit, so we asked Certified Sexologist & Satisfyer's Director of Education, Megwyn White, for a more detailed description.
‘Pulsing devices sometimes referred to as ‘clit suction’ devices work by creating changes in air pressure to indirectly stimulate the clitoral glans, which is densely packed with over 10,000 nerve endings.
‘This air pulsation creates a suction-like feeling that mimics the sensation of oral sex.’
And how do these differ from clitoral vibrators?
‘More typical vibrators utilise direct contact and vibration to help stimulate blood flow and arousal,’ explains White. ‘This type of vibrator can be both internal and external, coming in various shapes and sizes to stimulate different erogenous zones.’
