The world of toys has expanded so much in the last few years. Just recently, a new category of toys focused on providing clitoral stimulation have hit the market— clitoral suction toys.

Yeah, it’s exactly what it sounds like. The devices simulate the sucking sensation experienced during oral sex and most of these toys have controls to adjust the level of suction that you desire.

I wanted to dedicate this first post of my Let’s Talk Toys series to these sweet, sweet clitoral suction toys because clits need attention! And if you don’t follow me already, clits are my favorite thing to teach about.

When I first discovered these toys, I was going in blind and just tried the first one I could get my hands on… which actually happened to be one of the first generations of the Satisfyer Pro. I could not believe that these toys existed and why anyone with a clitoris needed a partner.

How do they work?

Many people experience multiple orgasms from these toys, yeah you heard me… multiple orgasms! This may be a selling point for some folx, but this isn’t an experience for everybody. However, you have the right to learn about why your chances of experiencing multiple orgasms increase with these types of toys.

First, these toys directly target your pleasure center… the clitoris. This powerful organ is packed with over 8,000 pleasurable nerve-endings, so these toys take that pleasure to the max with targeted attention.

Secondly, these devices use what’s known as touch-free technology. That’s right, for most folx, these toys don’t even have to touch the clitoris. Their design and shape allow for the hole to directly cover and surround the clitoris.

Finally, the toys offer sensational pressure waves and vibrations that penetrate tissue to offer a unique experience that cannot be experienced without these types of devices! I know, where have these been all our lives?

Special considerations:

After introducing clitoral suction devices to many of my friends, they have not turned back and have made these types of toys a key player in their arsenal. However, one thing to be wary of with these devices is if you have an enlarged clitoris or are currently/planning on taking testosterone.

I’ve had numerous friends and students that have gone through gender-affirming hormone therapy tell me that these once amazing toys maybe a little scary, but for others, they are still just as exciting! When taking hormones, the clitoris can begin to grow, which can change the way that your clitoral suction device “fit” before.

The clitoris can change in both shape and size, so do not be discouraged if your toy is no longer bringing you the satisfaction you may have had before. Some folx have found that they have gotten their clits “stuck” in the vacuum, clits are now too large in girth, or too long for the depth of the hole. Be prepared to experiment to figure out what toys work for your changing body.

Clitoral suction devices have different circumferences of the suction hole and various depth lengths, so it’s worth shopping around, going to a sex store, and seeing the toys in-person to see what works best for you.

Which ones are my favorites?

I picked my top 4 that are on the market right now based on my research, hands-on experience, and consultations with other folx who have used the products. Everything is made from body-safe materials— which should be an important factor on your list, make sure you’re checking what’s in your sex toys!
