Whether you’re hoping to bring a new dimension to your solo sessions or spice up partnered play, a fun, new sex toy could be the way to go.

Suction vibrators have been generating buzz (no pub intended) in recent years thanks to their innovative approach to, and immense promise of, pleasure. Blending gentle suction with stimulating vibrations for an experience that’s nothing short of electrifying, suction sex toys—also sometimes referred to as ‘clit sucker vibrators’—can help you explore your body and discover pleasure like never before.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the world of toys, these devices can be the key to mind-blowing orgasms—but first, you have to know how to use one. Luckily, we’ve tapped Somatic and VUSH Resident Sexologist, Lillie Brown, to take us through her top tips.

How Does a Suction Vibrator Work?

A suction vibrator is unique in its use of pulsating airwaves, not vibrations, which stimulate the clitoris without direct contact. A clit sucker device creates a vacuum-like seal which mimics the feeling of oral sex.

“This unique technology takes pleasure to a whole new level, as the air pulsations stimulate the entire clitoral network into waves of ecstasy,” explains Lillie. “Think of it as the ultimate external stimulation tool that makes every touch feel mind blowing, perfect for a toe-curling solo session or spicing things up with a partner.”

Use lube

If it’s your first time using a suction vibrator, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Lillie tells Cosmopolitan Australia that things like slowing down and finding your groove are important, as is using lube. Scroll on for her top tips.

“Lube is a pleasure essential. A little water-based lube goes a long way in creating a silky-smooth glide that enhances those pulsating airwaves,” says Lillie. “When you’re using a clit sucker vibe, apply lube to your genitals, the rim of the toy, and fill the pleasure point right up with lube—this will ensure the sensations feel like really great head!”

Find your flavour

“The clitoris’ sole function is pleasure, and most people with vulvas need direct clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm,” says Lillie. “Slow down, build arousal in your whole body, and take the time to explore different angles and positions to find the one that drives you wild.”

She adds, “Try angling the toy on its side—many people find their clitoris is most sensitive at the 2 o’clock spot!” Note, taken!

Start slow

Ease into it!

Lillie tells us, “Begin on a lower setting and build up the intensity, letting the waves of pleasure build naturally. Avoid holding the toy hard against your genitals—hold it slightly away from your body so the pleasure point can create a seal against your clitoris.”

Try edging

To dial up the intensity of your orgasms, Lillie advises you try and edge yourself.

“The principle is simple—stimulate yourself until you’re close to orgasm, and then pause or reduce the intensity of stimulation to allow yourself to cool down,” she says. “Build arousal up again, and then cool down. Repeat this process until you’re ready to cum.”

Slow down

“Pleasure isn’t a race and orgasm isn’t the goal. Surrender to the sensations and focus your attention on what you can feel moment to moment,” Lillie advises.

How To Use a Suction Vibrator With a Partner

While vibrators may be best known as a handy tool for masturbation, they can be an asset in partnered sex, too. 

“Using a clit sucker vibrator with a partner is your ticket to shared ecstasy,” says Lillie. “Your partner can be in charge of the controls, teasing you to the edge.”

” Try it during foreplay or mutual masturbation for an irresistible build-up, or even during penetration for a dual sensation that’ll have you both seeing stars (person with a vulva on top is a great position for this!).”

Lillie explains, “Use the vibe on your clitoris while your partner stimulates the rest of your genitals or body with their hands, mouth, or genitals. Communication is key—let your partner know what feels amazing, and enjoy the steamy connection you’re cultivating together.”
