These Pocket-Sized Air Suction Sex Toys Are Delivering the Biggest Orgasms
· Vice
First, wand vibrators were all the rage. Then, rabbit vibrators took over, giving vagina-owners penetration and clit stimulation at the same damn time. Now, a tiny piece of tech that once only lived in your vacuum… is metaphorically sucking the soul out of clits worldwide. (Yes, metaphorically, more on that later). So much so that it’s the latest persistent sex toy trend, since at least the pandemic, and the girls on Reddit are booting their massive massagers for clit suckers.

If you’ve ever wondered how the fuck such a tiny toy sucks you off without even touching you, keep reading for a deep dive from the minds behind Pleasure Air Tech.
Are clit suckers for you?
There are a few types of people who typically enjoy clit suction the most. For example, people who love good head (but lost their best eater), people with partners who are learning how to give good oral, and people who like feeling their clit “kissed” during sex.
The Rose Toy was the first introduction to this feeling for many after it went viral on TikTok in 2020. Since, brands like Inya and Lovehoney have released their own version, but Lovehoney’s has consistently taken first place. It even has a removable tip for easier cleaning which we have yet to see anywhere else on the Rose market. Looking for a toy you can easily store without making it obvious, or one you can travel with? Cop the Rose.

Tired of untangling a wad of chargers every time you need to get one off? Dame’s best feature IMO is the USB-C charger that’s compatible with your iPhone and some Mac computers. If you’re traveling, this is a major plus for space-saving while also making sure you have a perfect fit (down there).

Think back to the last time you got head. You know that sucking-slash-kissing motion lovers do on your clit? It’s that, but powered by high-tech motors, so it hits like a mouth that never gets tired.
Lovehoney, the parent company behind the viral air tech, shared “Pleasure Air Technology (when applied to clitoral suction vibrators) utilizes gentle air pressure waves to stimulate the clitoris without making direct clitoral contact.” Originally, Womanizer was a free agent, but eventually was bought by Lovehoney, pushing that special sucking tech into viral toys like the Rose Toy, ROMP, and more. So, if you shop any Lovehoney, We-Vibe, or Womanizer brands, you’ll most likely get a taste of that Pleasure Air Tech. Other brands like Satsifyer have named their tech Air Pulse Technology, so when you see that, know there’s an a1 clit sucker on the horizon, too.
The Premium 2 is a solid staple for anyone who loves to cum from clit stimulation

Speaking of Satisfyer, its Pro 2 clit massager has ranked in the top 5 of toys for almost a decade now. After years of testing clit suckers (6 to be exact), I’ve tested every model from Lovehoney’s models and collabs, to newer drops like Hello Nancy’s Lem. The Pro 2 Gen 3 not only has air pulse tech, but also liquid air tech that feels like surges of stimulation over your clit. The ability to switch back and forth between stimulation styles IMO gives you more bang for your buck. Only caveat, its tricky to use during partnered sex so cop this one if you’re using it mostly for solo sex.

Health benefits of clitoral sex toys
Just as the FDA and research centers like Cedars-Sinai have cosigned the use of vibrators as medicine, clit suckers have their own benefits, too. Especially in people experiencing sexual dysfunction. Dr. Angela Wright, GP, Clinical Sexologist, and BMS Registered Menopause Specialist, cosigned the use of suction toys for pleasure — and even prescribes them. “As a doctor who focuses on sexual health, I frequently recommend the Lem as a high-quality, beginner-friendly suction toy. It’s particularly useful for women who sometimes find they become less responsive to vibration after menopause or cancer.”
It’s also worth noting that a 2017 study found that the motion of vibratory stimulation devices increases blood flow to the clit. More specifically, the research paper revealed that “Genital vibratory stimulation device use resulted in uniform improvements in sexual function, satisfaction, sexually related distress and genital sensation.” So, play with your clit, and you may be able to sidestep sexual dysfunction issues as you age.

There are a few debates over who did it first… but it works by emitting air-pressure changes through the toy’s circular head. As air is emitted, it creates a massaging, suction-y feel over the clitoris, the most sensitive part of the genitals for most vagina owners.
While shopping, you’ll notice that most of these toys are palm-shaped or have a handle. That’s intentional to help you find that perfect spot for stimulation.
Couples clit sex toys
So, you’re curious about bringing clitoral sex toys into the bedroom — but with a lover? There’s a toy for that, too. We-Vibe’s Melt is a slimmer clit sucker so that you can slide it in between you and your partner during strokes, without interrupting your *flow state*. One Reddit reviewer explained it best: “Much better shape and ergonomics, doesn’t get in the way while also being powerful as hell.” Their best position rec for Melt is doggystyle.

Can’t find the right spot? Or keep it? Pro tip: Use a drop of lube on the clit and on the suction head to get a good “seal.” You’ll find this useful with toys like Hello Nancy’s Lem.

Thankfully, Healthline reported, “Dead Vagina Syndrome,” a.k.a. numbing your clit from too much toy usage, is not real. As the earlier study showed, if anything, vibrations near your vulva will increase blood flow.
One Redditor asked about air pulse vibes versus traditional vibrators like a rabbit vibe. One commenter responded, “A hundred percent the air pulse toy!! I consider it to be the greatest innovation in self-pleasure in the last twenty years!!” Another added, “Same! They’re truly amazing. It’s the one toy that enables me to get off in 2 minutes or less. Traditional vibes like the Hitachi wand (OG wand toy) feel too desensitizing now.”
Although the exact feeling is subjective, it’s clear that rabbit vibes and wands have been booted for these adorable handheld soul suckers. (And in my clit’s opinion, they’re beyond worth the hype). Even gentler vibes.
If you are still worried about going too hard, start off with the lowest setting possible. In my opinion (I own dozens of clit suckers), the first setting is very stimulating and pleasurable. So you won’t be missing out on anything if you don’t use higher settings. If you are using higher settings, gradually increase the power settings.

Brands like Womanizer have an Afterglow feature that will bring you from any setting back down to the first in one press of a button. That way, if you’re practicing edging or just finding a setting too aggressive, you can tone it down swiftly. The Womanizer Classic 2 also features a Smart Silence feature so your toy isn’t too loud whether near your clit, or in an airplane’s overhead bin.

The gist? Air suction tech gives you good head, every single time. Traveling? Go for a tiny, yet silent sucker such as Womanizer’s Classic 2 or We-Vibe’s Melt. LELO’s Sona 2 is a great option too as it comes with a travel lock and is veryy compact in size. If you’re looking to bring a sex toy into the bedroom with your partner, skip everything we said and run to get We-Vibe’s Melt. (Don’t forget to use it in doggy style and watch her squirt).
Because Womanizer has dominated air tech toys, you’re basically guaranteed a great nut with any of their products (including their partner companies We-Vibe and Womanizer). I’d choose the lowest price or best sale if you need help narrowing down options. They’re on the pricier side due to their luxury feel and features, so skip those for Satisfyer if so.
As for solo sex? Run to get the Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 if you’d like variety in your clit massaging. It comes with liquid air tech and the air pulse tech that sucks you off without touching. If you want dual stimulation — but with penetration — Tracy’s Dog’s 2-in-1 is that girl.
