13 best clit suckers 2025, approved by experts and our sexual wellness writer
Featured in this article
It's no secret that I favour clit suckers when selecting my favourite sex toys. Because, as fun as it is, stimulating that soft, squidgy spot more affectionately known as my G-spot, focusing on my external erogenous zone is the easiest route to bliss. And I'm not alone in that, with 81.6% of women reporting that they can't climax from intercourse alone.
For those in need of a quick refresh, 10,000 nerve endings call your clitoris home. And this type of clitoral vibrator, known as a suction stimulator, uses a combination of contactless air pulses, massage and vibration to bring on an orgasm. “They create a sensation that feels like suction, also like a bit of licking and kissing with a bit of pressure,” says sexologist, Dr Jess O’Reilly.
Second reminder: regular masturbation — which should be considered a form of self-care — is actually very good for you, bringing with it both mental and physical perks, including reduced stress, better sleep and a swell in your body confidence.
However, working out what teaser to bring into the bedroom could be the thing causing you heartache. After all, the sexual wellness industry has seen a boom in recent years, meaning there are now endless options when it comes to sex toys — and suction vibrators in general.
Thankfully, our sexual wellness writer has collaborated with some (rather epic) experts in the field to bring you a definitive guide to the best clit suckers, as well as answers to all those FAQs.
How we choose the best clit suckers:
You'll be pleased to know that we haven't just relied on online reviews from shoppers to pull together this guide. Since starting our search for the best clit suckers in 2023, various willing volunteers — better known as members of the wider GLAMOUR team and their partners — have personally tested a host of clit vibrators, sex toys for couples and G-spot vibrators.
After getting up close and personal for at least a week, they were asked to rate each against the following criteria:
- Ease of use — Could they work out the control panel without a cover-to-cover read of the instruction manual?
- Speed and intensity of orgasm — Did it provide pleasurable sensations, or simply numb them?
- Design — Was it ergonomic, easy to hold and fit for purpose?
- Settings — Was there enough variety? Any unique patterns we haven't seen before?
- Volume — Could it count as a quiet vibrator? AKA, was it quieter than your electric toothbrush?
- Waterproof — Did it work effectively in the bath and/or shower?
Our writers and editors — who range from total beginners to experienced players — occupy various positions on the gender identity and sexuality spectrums. At the time of testing, they were aged between 25 and 40 and tested each toy during sex and solo masturbation, with water-based lube, for at least a week before sharing their (anonymous) review.
Including LELO's newest release.

| Toy type | Explainer |
| Clit sucker | Sex toys with open mouths that direct air pulsations at the clit without actually touching it — a sensation some describe to be very similar to oral sex. "Most suction toys are only designed for external use,” shares Fox. “This means they can be used in tandem with penetrative toys, or during fingering or intercourse, and makes them great for partnered play as well as masturbation.” |
| Clit vibrator | Handheld toys that rumble or buzz against the clitoris — although they can also be directed at your other feel-good erogenouz zones like the nipples or inner thighs. A wide range of toys fall into this category, including bullet vibrators, finger vibrators, and wand vibrators. |
| Dual-action clitoral stimulator | “There are now multi-talented models available that also offer internal, vaginal stimulation and/or vibration — I’ve nicknamed these ‘Hokey Cokey Toys’, because they go in and out and shake it all about,” shares Fox. |

What are the benefits of playing with a clitoral suction stimulator?
“Suction and ‘air pulse’ toys tap into a whole new form of buzz… by avoiding tapping and buzzing entirely,” explains Fox. "Traditional vibrators reverberate directly against the body, which feels fabulous for a lot of folks, but can leave others feeling sore, bruised, overwhelmed by intensity or numb, especially after prolonged use.
“In contrast, suction toys indirectly stimulate the clitoris by surrounding it with a rhythmic, pulsing vacuum or ‘waves of air’ to create a throbbing, sucking effect. The clitoral glans (the outside ‘button’ part) are enveloped and enclosed in a tiny blissful environment — kinda like one of those posh dining domes!"
She continues: "Some say the feeling mimics oral sex. Others reckon suction gadgets haven’t quite got that unique mouth-to-muff feeling licked, but offer a delicious experience all of their own. Certainly, when this type of tech was first introduced to the adult product market in 2014, it represented one of the most genuinely innovative, fresh technology breakthroughs the industry had seen in ages.
“As well as being able to summon up OMG orgasms during use, suction toys encourage blood flow to the clitoris, heightening arousal and making it hyper-sensitive to touch even when you take the toy away; see how even the most delicate brushing and circling with a fingertip can spark fireworks post-suction session.”
But her message for those partners who may feel threatened by these automated accessories?
“They’re your teammates, not your rivals. Toys can increase your skills as a lover by extending the repertoire of ways you can bring your partner pleasure, and increase their chances of orgasm: 19% of women surveyed in 2023 research by Durex said that using a toy was their most likely route to climax. Toys don’t replace the intimacy and thrill of another human being, but they can vastly enhance your shared experience – they’re complementary co-pilots, not competitors.”

What is the best clit sucker?
Having been a sexual wellness writer for the last three years, I can confirm that's the question I get asked the most. With the ongoing success of The Rose, the LELO SONA 2 and the Womanizer Premium 2, it seems we've gone monogamous — for devices that stimulate our downstairs with a combination of contactless vibrations and massage. If you're lucky, the two will work together to rather closely simulate your partner's best oral work.
However, while I could tell you which devices expertly offer that service — the LELO SILA and the Satisfyer Pro 2 are part of my regular rotation — that doesn't necessarily put them in the running for the title of ‘the best.’ That's because ‘the best’ is different for everyone.
While some will favour intense power and endless vibration options, others might prefer to keep it simple. While your best friend may prioritise a sex toy with a battery life that'll last a week, you might be quite happy with plugging your plaything in every night — especially when they come with a charger that doubles as a mood light, such as the Namii.
Ultimately, you've got to decide what's important to you, whether that's power, battery life, the option to customise your play, unique colourways or price point.
Top tips for clit sucker success:
“Grab a tube of lube, and slick a little over and around your clitoris, and onto the rim of the toys’ suction cup," suggests Fox. "This helps it form a better vacuum seal and also enhances comfort.
“Silicone lubes can potentially damage silicone toys, so stick to water-based formulas; I’m (ahem) a sucker for SITRE Soft Wave, a Danish gel with 20% soothing aloe vera.”
"Build up gradually. Experiment with positioning and angling the toy differently; some people find that one side of their clit is more responsive than the other. Switch up your body positions, as well: see how it feels to stand up, crouch on all fours, or lay face down.
“Lots of suction stimulators are waterproof and can be submerged in the bath. Take your toy to the tub and treat your clit to its own personal jack-off jacuzzi!”
If feminist, ethically produced porn tickles your pickle, Erika Lust has a collection of eight stunning and fun toy-focused films called Toy With Me, which feature women and couples savouring suction as part of the action. Press play and, uh, play along…

If you’re more into listening rather than watching, the audio erotica app Bloom allows you to search specifically for steamy stories featuring toys. They also have practical audio guides on how to use certain models, alongside raunchy recordings of imaginary lovers instructing you use your gadget for them. Eargasm, anyone?
“Suction toys have nooks and crannies that require you to pay extra attention to washing and drying them after use,” urges Fox. “If you don’t take care to thoroughly spruce and de-juice them, bacteria or mould can develop, and cause problems like bacterial vaginosis or thrush. Some versions have removable suction cups that can make sanitising easier.”
