In this guide: 7 best clitoral suction toys | What to look for
Inside a clitoral suction toy, a tiny motor pulses rhythmically, using only air to create a suction-like feeling on your clit. That's why they're known as clit suckers or oral sex toys. But if you ask us, the sensation can be better than oral sex, since it's way more consistent and powerful.
So, if you've ever had trouble climaxing or don't really get on with buzzy vibrators, it's worth trying a clit sucker. It might take a few tries to get used to the sensation, but there's a reason these toys are sending women flooding (pun intended) to social media to share their experience.
Here, you'll find out which clitoral toys our product testers love the most (we've picked the best based on hundreds of real reviews) and get tips for choosing the best toy for your body.
Only got time for a quickie?
You might be busting to add a new toy to your basket so, here's what you need to know:
Womanizer leads the pack on clitoral suction. We’ve included Womanizer Enhance, Next, and Next Liberty on this list because they’re all just too good to miss. Find out why in the full guide below.
ROMP Switch X is a great toy for beginners. The simple settings keep this toy affordable (and easy to use) without scrimping on the quality of its components.
Go long-distance with the We-Vibe Melt 2. Even if you’re in different zip codes, you can connect your toy to the We-Vibe app and let your partner take control of the settings for a pretty novel date night.
The Lovehoney Indulge will tease your G-spot at the same time. Try this rabbit-style clit sucker if you want to experience an intense “blended orgasm” from dual stimulation.
Cute novelty toys are in (and Lovehoney Strawberry is one of the best). Don’t let the innocent exterior fool you; you’ll find our usual premium silicone and powerful suction motors in this adorable, giftable toy.

The top 7 clit suckers mentioned in this guide
Each clit sucker in this list has been selected with different scenarios in mind; from the best beginner toy to the most luxury. It's based on hundreds of real customer and tester reviews to help you find one that works for you.
Expert tip: Bear in mind, not all clitoral suction toys vibrate. If you want a toy that does both, check out number four in this list – the Womanizer Enhance. Or read our guide on the best toys for clit stimulation, which will talk you through other handy clitoral vibrators like bullet vibes.
Best clit sucker for beginners
The ROMP Switch X is a great intro to clitoral suction for its simple, easy-to-use design with no intimidating extra features. It has simple two-button controls, and its compact size makes it comfortable to hold and position (whether you're playing on your own or during sex with a partner). Our sexpert, Javay, also recommends this toy and notes how helpful it is having a removable suction head for easy cleaning. The only downside is it's battery-powered, which means you'll have to replace the batteries every so often. But that's also one of the ways ROMP has managed to keep the cost of the toy low without sacrificing on the quality of the motor or materials. Pick the Switch X if you want to explore suction without committing to a more complex, premium toy. And if you're new to suction toys, our customers suggest letting yourself relax as you explore the settings one by one, until you find the right level for you.
What customers say: "My clit is pretty reclusive, but using this to grip my hood and stroke it? Phenomenal. I also love that it's much quieter than certain other toys and has no light on it, great for when my roommate is home."
Best clit sucker for travel
Sleek and thoughtfully designed, this travel-friendly suction toy shows why Womanizer remains a leader in the clitoral suction game. Like the original Womanizer Next (our luxury pick, as you'll see later), the Next Liberty offers more control over the intensity of suction, since you can adjust the depth and speed of pulses. It also has a hygienic magnetic case which clips into place to protect your toy while on the go. It's small enough to go in your overnight bag and quiet enough for use in hotel rooms; but honestly, it's so chic you'll probably show it off rather than hide it away. Pick this toy if you want something compact and travel-friendly that performs like a premium toy without the price tag. Otherwise, check out the Romp Spin for an even more pocketable clit sucker.
What customers say: "It’s very easy to use, plenty of power variations and the ergonomic design makes it really easy to hold in place. Also doesn't get in the way of being fingered or penetrated at the same time which I love!"
Best clit sucker for couples
Given that We-Vibe and Womanizer are sister companies, it's no surprise to see Pleasure Air Technology (Womanizer's pioneering clit sucking motor) feature in this couple-friendly, app-enabled We-Vibe toy. The app means your partner can control the toy from across the room while the suction technology massages your clit. It also works over long distances, so you can feel connected to each other even when you're not in the same zip code. Like many We-Vibe toys, Melt 2 is completely waterproof, so you can use it while relaxing in the bath to get your body relaxed and aroused for partnered sex. Plus, the curved handle feels really ergonomic to hold; it's slim enough to slip between you and pleasure your clit during positions like Cowgirl.
What customers say: "The soft, flexible opening [...] feels gentle yet effective, creating a comfortable seal that enhances the intensity without feeling harsh or rigid. It makes the stimulation feel more natural and precise."
Best vibrating clit sucker
"The Womanizer Enhance is for folks who enjoy vibration sensations and Pleasure Air stimulation," says Javay. This time, it's We-Vibe's rumbly vibrating motors that feature in a Womanizer toy, which means your clit is enveloped with suction while powerful vibrations tease around the clitoral hood and labia. This is the first Womanizer toy to combine both vibration and Pleasure Air Technology – and the first to get 100% orgasm rate in user testing too! Our customers say this one's great for partnered sex as well as masturbation, because the vibes will keep you going even if the clitoral suction head slips during thrusting. That said, the suction head isn't replaceable you can't choose a bigger or smaller size. Pick this toy if you struggle to climax (the combination of vibration and sucking can be fairly earth shattering if it works for you) or if you're curious about suction but don't want to stray too far from tried and tested vibes.
What customers say: "I put it on my nipples at first and nearly got to orgasm just doing that. When I used this on the clit I had about seven orgasms. And that was when I was very tired!"
Best clit sucker for dual stimulation
This one is for G-spot lovers who can't get enough internal stimulation. The Indulge has a broad, textured head that vibrates against your G-spot while soft silicone envelops your clit with oral sex-like sucking sensations. For some, dual stimulation of both the clit and G-spot can result in deep, intense climax (we call it a "blended orgasm") that may leave you speechless. With an intuitive two-button design, you can cycle through 10 suction speeds and 7 vibration patterns to find the right combination for your body. Just slather the internal arm with water-based lube for smooth entry. Be warned: it's a little loud, especially on the higher settings. If you're interested in a more luxury dual stim toy, look up the Womanizer Duo 2, which is quieter and has an Afterglow feature to ease you back down from your intense climax.
What customers say: "Having accepted that toys just don't do it for me, I gave this a try. Holy wow, I managed my first solo orgasm in a very short space of time and my watch started auto-recording an activity. 11/10, no notes"
Best clit sucker for gifting
So cute, you can keep it on your bedside table with zero shame – heck, you could even pop it on the mantelpiece. It may look sweet and innocent, but this strawberry is pretty punchy. We don’t abandon quality just to jump on a trend, so you’ll find our usual premium silicone and powerful suction motors in this highly giftable toy. It has 10 suction intensity levels, building from a gentle flutter to an all-consuming pulse. Plus it can run for an hour on a full charge, so it's probably more reliable than your ex. The soft silicone surface feels luxurious on your skin and it's easy to keep clean, especially since you can submerse it in water. Gift it to your bestie to cement your "friends for life" status.
What customers say: "First time trying this kind of vibrator and it gave me the kind of orgasm that starts in my toes and tingles all over. It’s very quiet and gentle. It is a bit tricky to get in the right place but you will know when it’s there!"
Best luxury clit sucker
With any Womanizer toy, you can control the speed of the Pleasure Air motor, which helps tailor the intensity to your body. Now, the Womanizer Next allows you to control the speed and depth of pulses, which means an even more personalized experience. It also reaches a lower intensity than previous Womanizer toys, so it can meet you at your level even on a particularly sensitive day. It's one of our quietest models yet, and also features Smart Silence, which stops the motor when it's not in contact with skin. That means you can put the toy aside in the heat of the moment without hearing it sucking wildly all on its own! Then, when you climax, the Afterglow feature gently dials down the intensity and transitions you into a state of relaxation. Pick this toy if you're ready to try something luxurious – or if your clitoris can feel particularly sensitive.
What customers say: "The design is sleek and comfortable to hold, it’s super easy to use and control the intensity levels, and the quality is noticeable from the first touch."
“When choosing a suction toy, consider the sensations you want most – is it intensity, is it coverage, is it a mix of sensations?” says Javay Fry-Nekrasova, our certified sex educator. For example, a small, affordable toy like the ROMP Switch X can be a great starting point but the Womanizer Enhance will offer more broad coverage of your clitoris, with vibrations as well as suction.
You can also look out for:
- Materials: Silicone is a great sex toy material because it’s soft, durable, and non-porous, which makes it very hygienic and easy to sanitize. ABS plastic is a good alternative, as it’s just as easy to care for, but it’s much firmer and doesn’t feel as luxurious as silicone.
- Removable heads: Different-sized heads let you find the best fit. Also: “It can be difficult to clean small openings, so choosing a toy that is better designed for cleaning with a removable head can make things so much easier for you in the long run,” says Javay.
- Power method: Some toys still use disposable batteries. They’re perfectly fine to use, but you might find a USB-powered toy more convenient and affordable in the long run – since you won’t have to replace the batteries. Check out how long the run-time on your toy is to know how often you’ll be charging it up.
- Waterproof rating: IPX7 or “submersible” means you can take it in the bath or shower for up to 30 minutes. IPX4-6, i.e. "splashproof" means it can handle a quick rinse but not full immersion. Waterproof toys are much easier to clean, since you can just use soap and water.
- Handle design: Cute novelty toys like the Lovehoney Strawberry or the Lovehoney Rose can be comfortable when held in the palm of your hand. However, a longer ergonomic handle might be more practical if you have difficulty reaching or gripping for long periods of time. In that case, pick a Womanizer or the We-Vibe Melt 2.
- Dual stimulation: If you generally really enjoy penetration, it’s worth finding a dual stimulation toy that has an internal arm or love egg for G-spot stimulation. For example: “The Rose Glow 2-in-1 is a very versatile toy,” says Javay. “You have the option to enjoy clitoral suction with or without the internal egg vibrating against your G-zone.”
- Vibrations: Not all clit suckers vibrate, so choose carefully if that’s something that matters to you. “Some toys have a buzzier vibration, while some have a more rumbly vibration which is felt deeper in the body,” says Javay. The Womanizer Enhance tends to be more rumbly, and has a broad stimulation head to tease a wider surface area on your vulva.
- Reviews: Not only will the reviews tell you which toys are already highly rated, but they can help you work out which features are right for you. You can search reviews for specific phrases like “quiet” if you have housemates or “powerful” if you like a strong sensation.
- Budget: If you can afford it, Javay recommends “investing in high-quality, luxury toys like We-Vibe or Womanizer.” She explains: “They have a higher price tag, but they last longer and have more power.” That said, you can get perfectly good toys for under $50 if you know where to look: ROMP is an excellent beginner brand with cute but affordable clit suckers.
