Clitoral suction stimulators are *the* sex toy of the moment — here are 14 our sex writer recommends

Two words: mood light. Yep, this vulva vacuum emits a gentle glow while charging, setting the perfect tone for your post-coital cuddle.

But this isn’t all looks and no substance, as the teaser functions as both a sucker and a vibrator. Fitted with 10 pulsing patterns — it starts with a pleasurable buzz and finishes you off with a moan-inducing quake — we weren’t left wanting with this one.

Best paired with water-based lube — Lovehoney’s Extra Delight doesn’t pill, smell or stain sheets — we suggest blocking out some time in your calendar for a one-on-one.

This may seem obvious but to use a clitoral suction stimulator, you will need to know where your C-spot sits. So, grab a mirror and get familiar with your anatomy, or if working with a plus-one, take a quick tour together as part of your foreplay.

LELO’s SILA comes fitted with an extra wide mouth, engulfing most of your vulva. While this spreads the vibrations far and wide, it also means your work is limited to simply heading in the right direction.

The sonic massager is programmed to deliver eight rolling rhythms — everything from a persistent pulse to an intermittent tremor — both on dry land and while submerged in the tub, meaning there’s little else you need for a satisfying solo sesh, other than a slick of water-based lube.

If you are yet to discover the wonders of the Rose, let's get you caught up. What was once just a discreet sucker is now a globally-recognised symbol of sexual satisfaction. Pull this out of your bedside table and your partner will know exactly what you’re craving.

Powered by pleasure air technology, this vibrator uses a sweet combination of contactless massage and suction to get you off — in under five minutes, according to some rave reviews. One happy husband also wrote that it ‘makes my wife quake with pleasure and scream with joy.’

Waterproof and USB rechargeable, this one’s also primed for vacay season. Just make sure you use that travel lock to avoid an awkward encounter with airport security.

The designers label this a ‘sonic clitoral massager’ — and it’s absolutely the bedmate for you if you want to be regularly propelled into orgasmic orbit.

As with most LELO toys, the suction stimulator is managed by an intuitive three-button control panel. While the central button powers it on/off and cycles through the 12 moving modes, the other two help you amp up and down the action. Essentially, your route to climax is customisable. Enjoy.

However, the feature that took us from fan to full-on obsessed: Cruise Control. Yep, this reserves a little extra power until you need it. Just press the vibe firmly against the skin to unleash.

This one is big, bold and bulky, but if you’re after a multi-use toy that offers something different every time, Bondara has you covered.

Strictly speaking, this isn’t a clitoral suction stimulator, but it does have sucking, licking, and vibrating functions. Plus, it doubles as a G-spot probe when you flip it around (and coat it in water-based lube).

Let’s work our way down. First, that transparent cone — of which there are two so you can find the perfect fit — creates a vacuum that’ll boost your sensitivity. While this is a useful aid for those who struggle with anorgasmia (difficulty having an orgasm), the sensations can be pleasurable enough to get you off too. Then there’s the licking, flicking tongue that moves like the real deal.

One fan (enthusiastically) wrote: ‘This is now my new favourite toy, and I am considering getting another just in case it ever stops working.’ Wise idea.

We hope it’s obvious that we take sexual satisfaction seriously, but that doesn’t mean our chosen bedmate can’t be fun and totally adorable.

Satisfyer is known for its weird and wonderful oral-mimicking offerings, and the glow-in-the-dark ghost is on our wish list, only just behind this sucking seal, which took the top spot.

Hidden inside are a duo of motors which emit pressure waves exactly where you need them (at your clit or nips). Offering this over intense suction means this is a slightly gentler approach to clitoral stimulation; ideal if you favour a slow build.

Awarded that coveted IPX7 waterproof rating — it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes one meter under the surface — we suggest leaving this at the side of your shower or tub so you’re always prepared for an everything shower.

And the fact that it comes in at just over £50? Dreamy.

Here’s yet another reminder that clitoral stimulation is pretty key when it comes to cumming — in fact, 81.6% of women have confirmed they can’t/don’t/won’t orgasm from intercourse alone.

Enter: dual stimulation toys that aim to tease your C- and G-spots simultaneously. In the DUO 2’s case, this is with a sucker at one end and a curved, bulbous-tipped probe at the other, both designed to mimic your lover’s best work.

But if you need a little more convincing, one fan raved: ‘Electrifying. It's better than any other toy I've used. It's not harsh and didn't make me feel like I'd been attacked with a cheese grater.’ Yeah, we have questions too...

The WH team consider this a premium upgrade on the Rose — and it seems others agree, as this is a Smile Makers bestseller.

The purple pulser comes with three interchangeable mouths to guarantee a snug fit for all users. Then there’s the squeeze motion sensor that instantly ups the intensity, bidding goodbye to fiddly buttons — or excuses from your partner that they don’t know how to work your tech.

If you want to know what our sex writer thought after her first use, she said this review summed it up pretty well: ‘I was sceptical at first because these sorts of toys are notoriously lacking in power, but this little guy packed a punch.’

Pint-sized and pretty enough to leave in plain sight — at your bedside or the edge of the bath, as this one’s also waterproof — we have very few notes.

If you’re lucky, your calendar for the next few months will be overrun with weddings and budget breaks. Sounds great... until you realise it may force you to cast your sexual satisfaction to one side (because your family/friends discovering your bright pink dildo shouldn't be on your bingo card for 2024).

Thankfully, LELO has your back. The SONA 2 Travel is a mini version of its top-rated clit teaser, fitted with just as many moving modes and the same playtime of up to 120 minutes. It’s a tad nosier (60 dB versus 70 dB), but being over an inch shorter means it's primed for slipping in your hand luggage.

As with all sex tech from the Swedish sexual wellness brand, the pint-sized vibe comes with an intuitive three-button interface, and a handy travel lock to avoid unwanted turbulence. Hold the ‘+’ and ‘–’ buttons for three seconds to activate.

Arguably this is one of the least discreet options in our lineup, but that’s not necessarily an issue if you keep yours stashed in your bedside table — or a sanitising pouch if you’re fancy.

The third generation of Satisfyer’s hero product, this suction stimulator uses Liquid Air Technology and 12 pulsing patterns to get you off.

We suggest you hand your partner the reins, otherwise known as the (free) Satisfyer Connect app, which also offers extra features like Vibration Creator (design your own moving mode) and Playlist Vibration (sync the sensations to your favourite songs).

FYI, the co-founder of Hot Octopuss, Adam Lewis, has labelled this one of the best clitoral suction stimulators on the market — high praise from a man who designs sex tech for a living.

VUSH says its sucker offers ‘really good oral sex, but without any strings attached,’ and in the age of Hinge, that couldn’t be more appealing.

The Empress offers up to 6500 rpm of power, and its ergonomic design means it fits perfectly in most palms. It's also super easy to control due to that trio of buttons.

We’re also big fans of toys that communicate. Thankfully, this clit stim flashes when charging and then sends out a solid beam once ready for action.

If your go-to gifts are jewellery or chocolate, great work. But at the top of most vulva owners' wish lists are regular, low-effort orgasms, and The Stimulator certainly delivers.

Coco De Mer's clit stim comes coated in two layers of velvet-like, chocolate-coloured silicone and 10 vibration settings, plus another three suction speeds.

However, it's the vegan leather carry case — lined with a faux suede drawstring bag to keep it dust-free — which had us sold. And yes, it is large enough to house the charger and a travel-sized bottle of lube, saving you another round of hide and seek pre-foreplay.

We should also mention that our friends over at Cosmopolitan awarded this the title of ‘Best Luxury Vibrator’ in their 2022 Good Vibes Awards.

Edging, also known as peaking or surfing, is the art of bringing yourself to the point of orgasm and stopping, before working your way back up again. The reason: some argue this brings on bigger, bolder climaxes. Or, if playing with a partner, it can be a fun way to experiment with power play.

Womanizer’s newest launch, known as the Next, offers users the opportunity to influence both the intensity and the depth of the vibrations. And while some fans aren’t so fond of its gentler approach, this is what makes it primed for extended sessions of clitoral teasing.

There are new unique features this time too, including Autopilot — choose from one of three pre-set rhythms so you can focus on the pleasure — and Smart Silence — which stops any movement the second it leaves the skin, meaning fewer distractions when you decide to move on from foreplay.

Yes, the rabbit’s great and most of us have thought so since it hopped onto the scene in the '80s. Hence why most brands stick with the original format, offering new colours and a few added extras like textured nubs or authentic-looking veins.

However, there’s nothing wrong with trying something new. So Divine’s Pearl follows the body’s contours for (arguably) a more comfortable fit than some other bunnies. Built with blended orgasms in mind, it comes with a clitoral suction stimulator at one end and a vibrating probe at the other, finishing with a pointed tip for precise pleasure.

Available in black, white or Barbie-approved pink, so match your vibe to your interior personality. We insist.
