Clit sucker might sound like a term you’d hurl around in a name-calling battle. But what a clit sucker actually is couldn’t be more different from a painful insult. Hint: It’s all about pleasure.

As the name suggests, these vibrators use clitoral suction to hone in on one of the body’s most powerful pleasure points to trigger equally powerful orgasms. It’s similar to the clit suction you might enjoy during oral sex — but this time, you’re in full control.

10 of the best clit suckers on the market

If you’re a novice sex toy user, you might not realize just how many bells and whistles adorn the devices designed to simulate and enhance sex. Clit-sucking vibrators are no different. When you’re ready to buy, there are plenty of styles and features to choose from — some of which go to town with sucking action, and some of which offer gentle, sucking-esque motion.

To make selecting your next toy a little easier, we’ve ranked our favorites by category:

1. Best overall vibrator: LELO SONA 2 Cruise

LELO knows its way around a clitoris — a fact the SONA 2 Cruise will drill into you (in the best way!). Powered by sonic waves and fashioned from soft silicone, this comfortable, high-end vibrator includes a larger mouth than many clit suckers and offers intense internal and external clitoral stimulation. It’s $198.99, but you can find it on sale relatively often.

2. Best vibrator for beginners: Lovehoney mon ami Silicone Pleasure Air Suction Stimulator

It’s cute. It’s velvety. It starts soft, then goes as hard as you need. What’s not to love? With 10 shockingly quiet intensity levels and a USB-rechargeable battery that can suck and massage for a full 90 minutes, the mon ami Silicone Pleasure Air Suction Stimulator is the perfect introduction to clit sucker-powered orgasms. Plus, it’s $49.99.

3. Most versatile vibrator: Lovense Hyphy

Lovense designed the Hyphy to stimulate three potent erogenous zones: the clitoris, nipples, and G-spot. With 12,000 vibrations per minute, orgasm problems are no match for the $199 Hyphy. While it’s not a traditional clit sucker, its many attachments can mimic nearly every sensation you’re going for.

4. Best vibrator for couples: We-Vibe Melt

A favorite for couples, the $149 We-Vibe Melt fits between your bodies during intercourse or allows your long-distance partner to stimulate you from afar with app-controlled play. And with 12 customizable intensity levels, this vibrator has more than enough power to live up to its name. 

5. Best budget-friendly vibrator: Inya The Rose

Shaped to look like the flower that inspired its name, the Rose Vibrator from Inya The Rose is as easy on the eyes as it is on the wallet at $61.29. The bulb-shaped design allows you to comfortably cradle it in the palm of your hand, and since it’s fully submersible, this vibrator is safe to use while surrounded by rose petals in the bath. 

6. Best luxury vibrator: Womanizer Premium 2

Womanizer calls its $199 Premium 2 clit sucker the “Prada of sex toys,” and we agree. It’s quiet but powerful, stimulating the clitoris without even touching it. Expect the unexpected with the randomized intensity levels in Autopilot mode. After your orgasm, the Premium 2 will even offer you a bit of sexual aftercare with its innovative Afterglow feature to help you come back down to Earth. 

7. Most customizable vibrator: Satisfyer Pro 2

Using innovative liquid air technology, the Satisfyer Pro 2 offers strong sensations through contact-free pressure waves, perfectly mimicking the real thing. You can adjust the air pulse settings to your liking and choose to go suction-only, vibration-only, or combine the two modes for the ultimate pleasure — well worth the price of $69.95. The silicone head even pops off for easy cleaning. 

8. Best vibrator for the bath: LELO DOT

The LELO DOT features a soft, bendable tip that fits your body like a glove. This $179 vibrator is fully waterproof, built to last for hours, and equipped with eight adjustable settings for customizable play. While it doesn’t technically suck, the circular motion does the same job — and maybe even better. 

9. Best finger clit sucker: VeDO Suki Rechargeable Sonic Vibe

Not for newcomers, the Suki Rechargeable Sonic Vibe is one of the strongest clit suckers we’ve tried, but its small mouth makes it perfect for those with a small clitoris. The Suki’s ergonomic design allows it to slip easily between your first and middle fingers, combining the equally orgasmic sensations of oral sex and fingering. And it’s only $59.95.

10. Best vibrator for gentle play: LELO SILA

Like many of the other clit suckers on this list, the $169.99 LELO SILA uses sound to produce rumbly, climax-worthy vibrations. But the SILA takes a gentler approach than most, producing soft waves perfect for those days when you’re in the mood but too sleepy for mind-blowing sex.

How to use a clit sucker

Knowing how to use your vibrator can mean the difference between a mildly pleasant masturbation session and the best orgasm of your life. Follow these tips to make the most of the experience:

1. Start with a clean slate

A clean toy is a safe toy. Before getting down to business, wash your clit sucker with a sex toy cleaner or mild soap and water, especially if it’s been gathering dust in the drawer since your last session.

2. Get comfortable

Most clit suckers are discreet and waterproof, making them easy to use on the couch, on the go, or in the bath. You don’t even need full access to the vagina like you would with a dildo. What’s most important is that you’re in a place where you can relax and let the vibrator do its job. 

3. Lube it up

Many clit suckers are made from silicone, which can break down if lubricated with silicone-based lube. Opt for a high-quality water-based lube to prevent damage to your device.

4. Explore your body

Your vulva is as unique as your fingerprint, so spend some time finding your sweet spot. You’ll know when you’ve found the right placement — trust us!

5. Work your way up

Don’t jump right in with the strongest vibrations possible. Start with the lowest setting, gradually increasing intensity so you can discover what works and what doesn’t at a comfortable pace.

6. Practice aftercare 

Sexual aftercare isn’t just good for sex. It’s also important for self-pleasure to help you process the experience and feel like yourself again. Just as you’d do a cool-down after a workout at the gym, give yourself a little time to unwind after climaxing.

7. End with a clean slate

Once you’ve caught your breath, clean your toy (yes, again!) and store it properly. Some vibrators even come with a bag just for tucking them away after use. Keeping your clit sucker in a dry, dust-free place will ensure it’s ready the next time you’re in the mood.
