Like most other types of sex toys, personal preference plays a large role in what features a shopper should look for. That being said, there are a few qualities you’ll definitely want your clitoral suction vibrator to have (and, yes, each toy in this round-up checks off the below boxes):

Multiple Intensities

Not only are single-intensity vibrators a total yawn, but a lack of strength variations increases the odds of dreaded buyer’s remorse (which, p.s., isn’t a problem at Dear thanks to our 60-Day Money Back Promise). Perception of intensity is quite individualistic – one person’s “strong AF” could be another’s “weak sauce.” By increasing the number of intensity levels in a vibrator, you increase the chances of each individual user finding one they enjoy. Another pro for multi-intensity vibrators is that they account for the human body’s natural response to sexual stimulation, wherein the same vibration strength can feel more or less intense depending on where you are in the sexual response cycle and how long you’ve been exposed to said stimulation. A variety of strengths or speeds lets you climb the power ranks if and when you’re ready to!

Silicone Makeup

When it comes to motorized sex toy materials, silicone is the gold standard. 100% silicone is 100% body safe, i.e., hypoallergenic and free from BPA and phthalates. While ABS plastic is just as hygienic, it lacks the velvety-soft texture that makes silicone so heavenly to touch. Aaaand silicone is supremely easy to clean. Need I say more? (I don’t, and I won’t.)

Water Resistance

If your clit sucker can’t stand even a little bit of water, you’re gonna have a helluva time trying to clean that thang (and all sex toys require cleaning pre- and post-use). You will, at minimum, want your clitoral suction vibrator to be splashproof (like the Dear Indulge), but clit sucking vibes that are 100% waterproof (like the other four products mentioned in this round-up) take the cake as you can bring them on orgasmic aquatic adventures (who doesn’t enjoy the occasional rub-a-dub-dub in the shower or tub?!).
