Whether you're already a fan of cunnilingus [1] or you just really like masturbating [2] with sex toys, allow me to put you on to the type of plaything that should already be in your bedside drawer: an oral-sex toy.
Also known as suction vibrators, tongue vibrators, and clitoris-sucking toys, oral-sex toys mimic the human mouth and stimulate the clitoris externally [3]. In other words, the sex toy feels eerily similar to what it would feel like if someone were going down on you. Not only do they feel great and come with versatile features and options, but they can be used on yourself or with a partner.
Compared to your traditional wand massager [4] or bullet vibrator [5], these toys most often use an air pulse or sonic wave to mimic oral sex, making the sensation distinctly different and more tongue-like. But if you love the rumbly vibrations that come from a more standard vibrator, there are plenty of oral-sex toys that combine pulsation with vibrations, too.
Generally, oral-sex toys are made for external use and feel great on any person's genitalia or other erogenous zones [6], but for those who prefer internal or vaginal penetration, there are also oral-sex toy options that offer both internal and external clitoral stimulation simultaneously. In other words, there's absolutely an oral-sex toy product out there for you.
To make it easier, we did all the hard work and compiled a list of the best oral-sex toys out there — selected, of course, with your pleasure in mind. Before you start "adding to cart" though, familiarize yourself with the different types of oral-sex toys ahead, so you know what would work best for your body and orgasms.
Different Types of Oral-Sex Toys
Not all oral-sex toys are created equal. When choosing the right one for you, think about what sensations you might want to experience, what options don't appeal to you, and what features are a must in experiencing an orgasm.
- If you enjoy little licks, tapping, or sucking, an air pulsator may be the winner. This type or oral-sex toy sends little rhythmic pulses of air over the clitoris, and usually, the design has a soft, circular silicone "head" that fits over the clitoris for direct stimulation.
- For something that's a bit more intense than air pulsator, go for an oral-sex toy that offers sonic waves. This type of toy mimics sucking sensations, and, like air pulsators, fit right over the clit. Despite the name though, know that these toys aren't any any louder than air pulsators or other vibrators.
- For those who like full frontal licks during oral sex, try a licking oral-sex toy rather than a pulse-like one. Licking oral-sex toys usually come fitted with a small "flap" that moves up and down like a tongue would.
- There's also a massager oral-sex toy option that is usually sleek and made to fit in the palm of your hand. Instead of vibrating, licking, or using pulsation though, they use refined, delicate motions to massage and "swirl" the clit, like a lover might with their mouth.
- If you are still looking for a different kind of sensation, check out a hybrid toy. Some oral-sex toys combine vibration with either air pulsation, sonic waves, and/or a licking feature to create a blended sensation. This gives users a lot more versatility with use, but know that because oral sex stimulation can be a more subtle sensation, it's easy to lose the licking or sucking sensation against strong vibrations.
