LELO's developed numerous suction toys, and its newest product is arguably the best in class. This sonic clit stimulator uses sonic pulses that provide deep, earth-shattering pleasure, and the larger mouth gently draws in the clitoris to stimulate both inside and out.

Standout feature: It's 100% waterproof, features eight settings and is made from an extra soft silicone for max comfort.

Notable review: "It can either be really gentle or super fast! Point is that when you're there it just keeps going! Literally, it's like it senses that you're close and speeds up by itself allowing you to fully submerge yourself in pleasure and experience pure bliss afterward." — Hellokittylover22

Best for Climax Control: Womanizer Next

The Womanizer has established itself as a leader in suction sex toys, and its new Womanizer Next option is a real clitoral hero. Dr. Frankie Bashan, a board-certified sex therapist, clinical psychologist, and founder of Little Gay Book, says that it has a range of suction options and rhythms to keep things varied, and it does an amazing job of recreating oral sex sensations.

Standout feature: The Next features a new "climax control" feature that puts more O-power in your (or your partner's) hands.

Notable review: "I'm a young adult, I thought I couldn't orgasm clitorally until I tried this. I get distracted easily (ADHD) so this was perfect, and vibrators don't work for me as they overstimulate me and make me feel numb. The 3D pleasure air technology was a game changer for me! I'm in love." — Verified Customer

Best for Beginners: Unbound Babes Puff Suction Toy

Since they offer contactless sensations, suction toys can be particularly pleasurable to beginners or those who are especially sensitive. "While a vibrator needs to be in contact with the skin for stimulation, air pulse toys surround the clit without touching the head directly," Finn says. "It's the air itself that's coming into contact with the body."

Standout feature: You can choose from multiple speeds and the toy is waterproof for some shower fun, too!

Notable review: "I've had my puff for two years, and it has held up incredibly well! The charge lasts a surprisingly long time—I can go several sessions without having to think about plugging it in. Super easy to clean, super easy to store and SUPER good at its job. Cannot recommend a product more." — MB

Best Minimalist Toy: Dame Aer Suction Toy

Not really one for a showy sex toy shaped like a rose or penguin or otherwise? Keep things simple with this minimalist suction toy that offers up to five different patterns and five different intensity levels.

Standout feature: It features pure wave technology to create rhythmic pulses of air.

Notable review: "This is hands down my absolute favorite toy. I purchased this in a bundle with the Eva and I barely use the Eva and my Aer gets all the love. The Aer has several vibration patterns and intensities. It fits perfectly in my grip and [is] easy to play with the buttons while in use." — Chris L.

Best Nipple Suction Toy: Eva Rotating Sucking Breast Aspirator Nipple Massager

Why should clits get all the suction fun? This nipple suction toy takes suction technology and applies it to a new erogenous area: your nipples! This unique massager has a rotation mechanism that mimics the feeling of having your nipples sucked.

Standout feature: It has multiple rotation and suction modes so you can fully customize your experience.

Notable review: "It teases with strong vibration. The suction is pretty good." — Candace

Most Discreet Suction Toy: Lovehoney Rechargeable Venus Glow Clitoral Suction Stimulator

Whether you're a jet setter, searching for the perfect after-dark honeymoon accessory or just don't want something that screams "sex toy," this shell-shaped toy is bound to be your new BFF. Its unsuspecting small shape keeps things on the DL, but don't let the small size fool you. It packs plenty of power behind its seven intensity levels.

Standout feature: It's made from a firm silicone material, is waterproof and comes with a travel lock.

Notable review: "The design is very discrete, we accidentally left it out on the side and no one even questioned what it was. The material it's made out of is very comfortable for the hand, it sits well and is the perfect firmness. The actual stimulation that the toy delivers is also very targeted, due to the smaller size of the air pleasure hole, this lead[s] to very good, strong orgasms." — Alex

The Social Sensation: INYA The Rose Clitorial Stimulator

"It definitely went viral for a good reason," Finn says of this fan-favorite toy. "Having a friendly look to it in a recognizable shape makes it more accessible for those who may feel intimidated by the prospect of a sex toy." But it's just not aesthetics that this baby has going for it: "The Rose also combines vibration with air suction, so you get a sensation that's much different than just vibration or just suction," Finn adds.

Standout feature: This powerful clitoral suction vibrator combines vibration with air pulse technology; choose from three vibration intensities and seven patterns.

Notable review: "Holy mother of god, this thing is incredible. The first time I used it by myself, I came maybe harder than I ever had before. When I used it with my partner, he had to try and tell me to keep it down because I was being so much louder than I'd ever been. I've used one or two other suction vibes and they were fine; this one is so, so good."— Titania

Best G-Spot Suction Toy: Womanizer OG Pleasure Air G-Spot Stimulator

While most suction vibrators are designed with the clitoris in mind, this Womanizer wand delivers pulsating, massaging air pressure to the G-spot. With 12 intensity levels and three vibrational modes, this impressive gadget also features an "afterglow" function that reverts the toy back to its lowest setting for a gentle comedown after an orgasm.

Standout feature: It's waterproof, ergonomic and comes in three different color options.

Notable review: "It took a bit of time to get used to using the OG, but as soon as it was in the right spot it was amazing! I just completely relaxed into it and let the toy do all the work and it did not disappoint. The feeling the air stimulator gives you is second to none!.. My whole body was shaking and the orgasms were incredible!"

Best Combo Deal: Fantasy For Her Ultimate Pleasure Pro Stimulator

Cue the Greek chorus, this is the ultimate trifecta of suction sex toys. It wouldn't qualify for a spot on this list without a powerful clit sucker, but this toy goes above and beyond. The flexible silicone shaft sends rumbly goodness to the G-spot (choose from 10 vibration settings) and it also has a licking tongue stimulator to mimic oral sex.

Standout feature: This three-in-one vibrating, sucking and flicking sex toy provides the ultimate pleasure.

Notable review: "Wife loves the suction and mixed with the movement and vibration on her spot. When you add in the clit stimulation as well it really gets her going." — Fabricio

Most Versatile Suction Toy: LELO Sila

An extra wide mouth on the LELO Sila means this suction toy can travel to so many erogenous zones and caters to all clitoral sizes. Perfect for foreplay or solo play, it easily suctions over the entire clitoris and can even be used on your nipples.

Standout feature: This soft silicone toy delivers pleasure via gentle sonic waves.

Notable review: "The best vibrator I have ever owned. I've had the most intense orgasms from it. LELO makes my favorite vibrators and this one is easily my favorite." — Keen

Best for Couples: We-Vibe Melt

While most suction vibes can be used for better sex in both partnered and solo play, the We-Vibe clitorial stimulator was specifically made with couples in mind. This suction vibrator has a longer arm than most, making it easier for a partner to hold.

Standout feature: It can actually be operated via an app, so your partner can control it themselves—whether they're in the same room or across the world.

Notable review: "The biggest draw for this vibrator is the long-distance capability... The app is pretty fantastic so far, as it has a video call/voice call/text message feature built in. My partner and I typically use another app for sexting, but it was convenient to have it all in one spot... I have issues with orgasming, but this made me orgasm about four to five times! And when I say "orgasm," what I really mean is you should sit on a towel."

Best Finger Suction Vibrator: Bellesa Finger Pro Air

This tiny silicone suction toy comes in handy (pun intended) whether you're enjoying a solo masturbation session or a steamy rendezvous with a partner. It keeps things simple when alone—and arguably is easy to maneuver—and when you're with a partner it allows the focus to remain with each other while freeing up a second hand.

Standout feature: One button controls everything you need.

Notable review: "I preordered this last year, but life got in the way and I totally forgot I had this toy until today. Finally gave it a try, and this 'toy' has been upgraded to bestie! I'm VERY sensitive to stimulation, and I had zero problems." — Frey

Best for G Spot & Clit Action: Lovehoney Indulge G-Spot and Clitoral Suction Stimulator

Photo: Lovehoney

Double your pleasure with this clit sucking toy that also targets the G-spot. The result? Possibly some of the most intense orgasms of your life. The shaft is inserted inside the vagina and rumbles to stimulate the G-spot while the sucker positions directly over the clit to stimulate with air technology.

Standout feature: You've got your pick of over 100 speeds for clitoral stimulation and three speeds/seven patterns for your G-Spot.

Notable review: "You NEED this. This is now my new favorite sex toy. Hands down! (Hands free too!) I can't wait to try this with my partner too, it will make things even more interesting." — Kat H.

Best for LGBTQ+ Humans: 2 Become 1 Strapless Strap-On With Air Pulse Clit Stimulator

Photo: Adam & Eve

Anyone of any gender or sexuality can use suction toys, but this one is a standout for LGBTQ+ couples in particular—or cis-het couples interested in anal play and pegging. This variation on a strap-on dildo is worn inside one partner while penetrating the other. The star of the show here, though? Air-pulse suction that provides targeted clitoral stimulation to the wearer.

Standout feature: The long shaft offers 10 different vibration speeds and functions, and the shorter shaft delivers 10 modes of targeted air-pulsing functions.

Notable review: "I'm a trans man who bought this with the intent of using this when I started having more casual sex with people. However, I had never used something with this kind of clitoral stim[ulation] so I tried it solo. And my GOD. I don't need anything else... The air pulse, I was worried that the stimulator would be too sharp—but it's just incredibly intense. Like to a level that's unheard of... I have NEVER felt this good from a toy in my LIFE... I have never felt such gender euphoria and intense pleasure in my entire life."

Best Suction/Vibrator Duo: Satisfyer Pro 3 Air Pulse Stimulator + Vibration

Photo: Satisfyer

The sex toy equivalent of having your cake and eating it too, this vibrator with suction makes it so you don't have to choose between sensations. One end delivers 11 modes of touchless air pulses to the clitoris, while the other operates as a traditional vibrator with 10 orgasmic, buzzy modes. (That's over 110 possible vibration/suction combinations, BTW.)

Standout feature: The conical shape seals around the clitoris for seriously intense pleasure.

Notable review: "I bought this right at the beginning of the pandemic and have since bought another 25 or so toys. But no matter what I buy, I always use this. It is so amazing to use in any position, with other toys and especially in the shower. It's super difficult for me to orgasm without clitoral stimulation, but this always leaves me trembling."

Best Suction Toy for Penises: Arcwave Ion Penis Stimulator

Photo: Good Vibes

People with penises can get in on the air pulse action, too, with this suction sex toy. Once inserted in the canal, the penis can experience powerful air pressure at eight different intensity levels. (If the sensation is ever too much, pulling out slightly will instantly stop stimulation.)

Standout feature: It features the same tech found in the Womanizer vibrators and focuses stimulation onto the frenulum of the penis.

Notable review: "Best sex toy I have ever bought! EXCELLENT vibrating/pulsating power. And very easy to clean!"

What Exactly is a Suction Vibrator?

As Finn explains, "Most vibrators use a motor that is specifically weighted to create a lack of balance, making the motor rock or shake as it goes, creating that vibrating sensation." A suction vibrator, on the other hand, operates a bit differently—thus, creating a different sensation.

"Suction and air pulse toys depend on the movement of air, rather than the movement of the motor, to create the sensations felt on the body," Finn says. "On many suction toys, like the INYA Rose, a silicone diaphragm right inside the opening of the toy moves up and down to create the pulsation and pressure that can mimic the sensation of someone gently sucking on the clitoris—or wherever else you may use it."

How to Use a Suction Vibrator

Whether you're playing on your own or with a partner, using a suction sex toy—or any sex toy for that matter—is about learning what feels good on your and your partner's bodies. Don't be afraid to communicate and experiment!

Here are some tips for getting started with suction and air pulse vibes.

• Many vagina-owners love using suction toys as a prelude to partnered sexual activities, such as penetrative or oral sex. (They can help increase blood flow to the clitoris and boost arousal!)
• While a clit suction vibrator may be the first thing you think of when it comes to air pulse toys, know that these vibes can be used to stimulate other erogenous zones, too, such as the nipples.
• People with penises should consider suction sex toys, as well. (The sensation can feel great on the penis and frenulum.)
• Apply lubricant for slippery sensations: "Not only will lube help to enhance the experience by cutting down on the friction that vibration and suction can create," Finn says, "but lube will also help to create the seal between the toy opening and the body, trapping the air inside to make sure it's targeting that feel-good spot. It's almost like how a suction cup works better if it's a little bit wet before you stick it onto a surface."
• While most sex toys are designed to, as Finn explains, "create a seal between the body and the toy, so all of that sensation is targeted to where the opening is placed," try hovering over it over erogenous zones or gently grinding it as you play. See what feels good!
• Many suction sex toys are waterproof. Look to the label to be sure, and then mix things up by using it in a steamy shower sesh.
