The clitoris has about 8,000 nerve endings, so it’s not surprising that suction-style stim toys are all the rage. Unlike traditional vibrators that use rumbly motors to create sensations, suction toys use negative pressure to surround and stimulate the clitoral hood. That can elicit feelings that come pretty close to oral sex, which can be a turn-on for some, and — if the toy is designed right — can lead to intense orgasms. Whether you’re looking for a discreet travel toy, an easy-to-use clitoral stimulator for beginners, or something that can be used as a clitoral masturbation wand in partner play, here are the best suction toys for women.
This mini-tool combines multiple settings and attachments into a palm-sized tool that’s easy to stash in your purse or pocket. It features 10 suction modes ranging from a soft tickle to a full-on clitoral suck, and it comes with two attachments that can add even more intensity. And, of course, it’s fully waterproof.
Our testers praised this toy for its unintimidating design and easy-to-use controls. The simple single-button interface is perfect for beginners, and the small size and rechargeable battery make it ideal for traveling. The toy also combines vibration with air suction, so it provides a different feeling than a standard vibrator and is suitable for those who might want to ease into the experience of using a clitoral stim toy.
The top pick from our sex experts, this wand uses Pleasure Air technology to avoid numbness by surrounding the clit with negative pressure. It’s also super quiet, which means you won’t irritate your partner with a loud buzzing. And, because it has a variety of intensities, this is a great toy to play with on your own or with a partner.
While it might look like a toy for an art gallery, this sleek little beauty from Bellesa is as practical as they come. The discreet, slimline design is body-safe and comes in a clamshell travel case that doubles as a charger. This toy has 11 different intensity levels, and our testers loved the range of options for pinpointed clit stimulation or internal vibrating sensations that mimic a clitoral orgasm.
This wand from Lelo is another great option for those who want a travel-friendly toy that’s easy to pack and recharge. It’s made from body-safe materials that are latex-free and safe for people with a sensitivity to the material, and it’s also fully waterproof. The Lelo Sona 2 is super-powerful with a variety of modes, and it has a soft texture that feels comfortable against the skin.
While the price tag on this toy might be a bit heftier than some of the others on this list, our testers raved about its power, ease of use, and discreteness. This toy has a sleek, minimal design that’s complemented by the satin-finish case, and it’s easy to clean. The wand is also incredibly quiet, so it won’t wake the neighbors on a plane or in your hotel room.
