Thank your lucky stars for the invention of clit suckers! It’s right at the tip of your fingertips and you’ll never have to miss the feeling of orgasm ever again. Who doesn’t want a sex toy that helps bring you to the peak of sexual happiness?
But they may be a bit tricky to use for first-timers. But that’s where we can help! Our sexologist and experienced sex toy tester Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., has written a comprehensive guide with everything to know about using a clit sucking vibrator. Let’s see what she has to say:

What Is A Clit Sucker?
As the name suggests, clit suckers are used primarily for clitoral stimulation. They are hand-held sex toys designed with an open nozzle at the head, which releases air for stimulation.
This pulsation or sucking sensation simulates oral sex, from sucking, blowing, and even vibrating pulses to stimulate your clitoris for arousal.
The most common clit sucking vibrators are rechargeable and typically come with a two-button interface; one for suction and the other for vibration.
Your entire clitoris indirectly gets the feel of oral sex when you use it. That’s what makes clit suckers oh-so-divine.
How Does A Clit Sucker Work?
Now, you may be wondering how a clit sucker works. When the device is turned on, air pressure or sonic waves come out. It brings you a pleasurable suction sensation with each wave, exactly like someone performing oral to you.
You use a clit suction toy by pointing it towards your labia and clitoris. It rests just over your clitoral hood and doesn’t have to be in direct contact with the skin compared to traditional vibrators.
In addition, there are multiple pulsating patterns and speeds you can choose from. You can also increase or decrease the intensity to your liking with each mode.
Who Are They For?
- If you have problems with orgasms, a clit sucker is a great tool to help you achieve one. 81% of women only experience orgasms with clitoral stimulation. So, meet your new best friend when reaching incredible orgasms.
- For ladies and non-binary people who enjoy clitoral stimulation over penetration, a clit sucker is perfect for you. It does the job of sending pleasure to your body by hitting your clit’s sensitive nerve endings.
- It’s also a decent way to mimic oral sex without a partner. You can enjoy it solo to learn how your body reacts to specific pulses.
- Another reason is that they are one of the best beginner-friendly sex toys. It won’t disappoint anyone exploring sex toys for the first time.
- And, of course, you can use your clit suction toy for sensual build-up in the bedroom, whether you’re with your partner or doing it solo. Use it to accompany foreplay and heighten your arousal even further.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
It doesn’t have to be intimidating to choose the right clit sucker for you. We got you covered with some essential features to look out for when purchasing your first clit sucking vibrator.
Take the valuable features that personally intrigue you and set aside the features that don’t before deciding on which model to get.
Material
Some of the best materials to watch out for are non-porous ones. While browsing for a clit sucking vibrator (or any sex toy), non-porous materials like body-safe silicone, ABS plastic, metal, and glass are the best options.
Non-porous materials, on the other hand, can harbor and promote bacteria and fungus growth. After all, bacteria build-up is the last thing you want to worry about when using your clit sucking vibrator!
Settings
When it comes to settings, you can find models with gentle suction modes. Low suction settings are ideal for people with sensitive clits. In addition, you also have the option to choose medium to strong suction modes.
Other clit suckers are dual-purpose. It offers vibrating patterns for direct stimulation, making it a two-in-one pleasure toy. Some models, like We-Vibe Melt, you can control using a smartphone app.
Whichever your decision, you are still getting powerful sonic pulses released with each wave. There’s no wrong choice regarding how much pleasure you’re ready to take.
Size
Clit sucking vibrators are compact and hand-held. You can find smaller ones that are 4 inches short, and they size up to 6 and ½ inches for ones with longer handles.
It’s entirely up to you regarding how compact or long you would prefer your clit sucker to be. However, there’s a slight variation in the nozzle sizes, so verify the width before buying it. For example, Lelo Sona 2 Cruise with a small mouth (review here) and Lelo Sila with a larger mouth (review here).
Design
Some standard designs of clit-sucking toys resemble mini blow dryers. They are hand-held shaped to fit the contours of your hands and come with a small nozzle. In your search for one, you’ll be able to find round, compact-shaped clit suctions, dual stimulation models, straight-handled, or even iconic rose-shaped models.
As mentioned above, there are various sizes of the nozzle to accommodate your preference; small nozzles release deep vibrations, and wider nozzles cover more of the vulva.
Travel Lock
Optionally, you can check if your clit sucking vibe comes with a travel lock feature. It’s a great bonus to ensure your device stays off while you’re on the go.
A travel lock is a switch you can turn on to keep it secure inside your bag, so you are worry-free when taking it for a trip.
Power Source
There are two power sources for clitoral stimulators; rechargeable or battery-operated.
- Rechargeable models are USB-powered and plugged into your power source at home. From each charge, you can enjoy it for an hour up to 2 hours with each use.
- Battery-operated suction toys are an excellent alternative, especially if you can’t remember to charge your sex toy (like me!). Just be sure to purchase the correct battery if one doesn’t already come with your toy. Also, please remove the battery while storing it to preserve the battery life.
Sound Level
Clit suckers are generally on the quiet end of sex toys, but having a whisper-quiet sound level is something you should go for.
I recommend reading product descriptions as well as customer reviews. Those are helpful when determining how loud or quiet your clit sucking model is.
Budget
Lastly, the price ranges from low-end, like Womanizer Pro40, to high-end, like Womanizer Premium 2. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend on the new device.
However, I recommend a cheaper model, like Satisfyer Pro 2, if you’re a newbie since some vulva owners don’t like the feeling of clit suckers.
I recommend our comprehensive clit sucker guide if you want more options.
How To Use A Clit Sucker Toy Solo?
After you buy your favorite clit sucker, the fun begins!
I recommend starting using it solo, helping you learn what your body responds to before using it with a partner. That way, you’ll better communicate your likes and wants when the time comes.
1. Wash it first
When you purchase a new clit suction toy (or any toy for that matter), you should first give it a thorough clean.
Wash your device with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the electronic part in water, whether it’s the battery compartment or the plug compartment. Pat dry with a microfiber towel to make sure it’s lint-free.
2. Make sure it’s fully charged
Fully charging your device will ensure you get the most out of your clit sucking device.
Plug it into your power source and leave it for 30 minutes to 2 hours for a full charge. Read the instruction manual on how long a full charge is for your specific clit model.
It goes without saying; this only applies to rechargeable clit suckers. Battery-operated doesn’t need to be charged.
3. Learn how the controls work
Once fully charged, experiment with the controls of your clit sucking toy. Test the multiple suction patterns and vibration settings by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
Depending on your device’s features, you can press the same button to increase the air pressure intensity and the bottom button to decrease the air pressure intensity.
Learn how your controls work, which should be handy while using them. When you know which modes to switch to – you’re ready to have fun with it!
4. Try it on other body parts first
Use it on other body parts first to experience new sensations. Vagina owners can try it on other erogenous zones like nipples, your stomach, and your inner thighs for some foreplay.
Your clit stimulator should create suction with each wave, sending maximum pleasure throughout your entire body.
5. Find a comfortable place and create a good mood
Where is your safe comfort space? Is it your bedroom? Living room? Or maybe even a hotel room?
I recommend sprucing up the place to create a good vibe. You can spray your favorite scent in the room, light scented candles, or dim the lights. A comfortable atmosphere is the best way to feel relaxed and intimate.
6. Add lube
Let’s not forget to add an excellent water-based lubricant to help stimulate your clit better. Lube never fails to make you feel extra good, especially for women. Add a generous amount of your favorite lube to your clitoris and spread it around.
7. Start slow
When ready to use your clitoral stimulator, begin at the lowest setting to feel the sonic pulses. It also creates sensual build-up as you’re hitting your clitoris.
8. Try different speeds and patterns
When you feel it is time to pump up the intensity, try increasing the speed and switching the pattern. Maintain the level of pleasure you feel good with until you reach orgasm.
9. Try different positions and angles
You can get creative in different positions, like kneeling on your bed and holding your clitoris vibrator or going down doggy style and reaching out to stimulate yourself.
10. Combine it with an internal sex toy
While most sex toys are used for internal penetration, a clitoral stimulator is not. Hence, you can’t mix in another sex toy for internal G-spot stimulation.
Take a dildo or a suction cup dildo and insert it into your vagina. These toys will cover more erogenous zones, helping you to reach a more intense orgasm.
11. Pause or stop if you feel uncomfortable
Remember, you can pause or stop whenever you feel uncomfortable. There’s no shame in taking a step back from using your toy and giving it another go at a different time.
12. Use it in the shower
Are you looking for fun in the shower? Waterproof clit stimulators are perfect for shower play. Take it with you in your bathtub and make it a night of relaxation!
How To Use Them With A Partner?
- Foreplay is one of the most critical steps to amplify sexual arousal, and a clit sucker will add extra spice and stimulation to get all those juices flowing!
- You can also use it during oral sex. The giving partner holds the device while inserting two fingers in your vagina. Licking and tonguing your vulva with your clit toy is another great sensation to experience.
- Lastly, you can use it during penetrative sex. It’s similar to bringing a vibrator into the mix, only that it stays on your clitoral area.
Aftercare and Maintenance
When it comes to aftercare, practice these two easy steps to make sure your clit sucker stays in prime condition. Keep it clean and hygienic to enjoy your toy long-term.
Properly Wash It
After use, wash it with warm water and mild antibacterial soap. Make sure to avoid the battery or plug compartment. Afterward, dry it off with a bath towel.
Properly store it
Keep your toy in a bag that it comes in or in a satin pouch. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in mint condition.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What lube should I use with a clit sucker?
The lube you can use depends on the material. For example, most clit suction vibrators are silicone, making water-based lube the only safe option. Using silicone-based lubricants on a silicone toy will degrade the material.
Are clit suckers safe?
Yes! Clit suckers are entirely safe for use. However, please read the safety manual to ensure you know how to properly use and care for the clitoral suction toy.
Can I use it internally?
You can’t use a clit suction toy internally. The only exception is if your model is dual-ended with the purpose of internal stimulation.
