Other Good Suction Toys
We’ve tested dozens of clitoral suction toys, and there are only a select few we’d call the absolute best in any given category. The others are here. These are still good suction toys, and you should check them out if you’re still shopping around.
Lovehoney Rose for $60: The Lovehoney Rose is another example of a “rose” suction toy: wide on one end and narrow on the other. This design makes it easy to use solo or with partners. The mouth is on the smaller side, so it provides pretty intense stimulation even on the lower settings. The mouth is removable for easy cleaning, too, which is always appreciated, so you don’t have to break out the cotton swabs.
Smile Makers The Poet for $139: Even those of us who have a clitoris sometimes forget that this part of the body varies in size. While the majority of the clitoris is on the inside of the body, the external part, the glans (that little nub), can range from 1 to 2 centimeters in length and between 0.5 and 1 centimeter in width. If that weren’t enough, the size of the clitoral hood can affect how accessible the clitoral glans is. When creating The Poet suction toy, Smile Makers considered this, offering three interchangeable mouths so no matter the size of your glans, you can enjoy pulsating suction. The Poet is easy to use, too. Instead of having to fiddle with buttons to get the right intensity, all you have to do is squeeze the ultrasoft silicone to navigate through the five pulsation modes, allowing you to experience pleasure on your terms.
Lelo Sona for $49: This is the older version of the Sona 2 Cruise, and it’s still a good suction toy. It doesn’t have the “Cruise” functionality nor the luxe chrome elements. It is cheaper, though.
We-Vibe Melt 2 for $159: I loved the original Melt, so I was excited about the new version. But when I got the Melt 2, my excitement dwindled. It’s a fantastic clitoral suction toy but hardly different from the original. Both last about two hours, take 90 minutes to charge, are waterproof, and can be controlled—near and far—via the We-Connect app. The only difference is that Melt 2 has 12 intensity levels and six Pleasure Air suction patterns, whereas the Melt 1.0 didn’t have the patterns. I’m not big into patterns, so this feature was lost on me. That doesn’t mean it will be lost on you if you’re a pattern-loving person.
