When it comes to achieving the big “O” (orgasm), women have a more challenging time getting there than men. Especially during intercourse. There’s even a term used to describe the orgasm disparity between men and women, and it is too familiar to most women. The female clitoris is responsible for most women’s orgasms, yet few men understand how to find it. Fortunately, sex toy companies took notice and have developed a long line of sex toys designed specifically for helping women climax. A clit sucker is a sex toy that gets right to the point (or right to the clit) and can make some women reach the big “O” in seconds. But what exactly is a clit sucker, and how does it work? Read on to learn more about your new favorite sex toy and why every woman should take control of her orgasm by focusing more on her clitoris.
The Orgasm Gap
The orgasm gap is a term coined to describe the general disparity in the experience of climaxing between heterosexual men and women during sex. According to researchers, 95% of men say they always orgasm during sex compared to only 65% of women. Heterosexual women aren’t being satisfied in bed, at least not where orgasms are concerned. But why is it that women aren’t getting as much pleasure in bed as men are? There are likely multiple reasons why women aren’t orgasming in bed. But the most obvious reason is that their partners aren’t stimulating their clitoris enough. Even today, men have a hard time acknowledging that their penises alone are not enough to bring a woman to orgasm. It’s all about the clitoris. Most women can’t orgasm without clitoral stimulation, meaning penetration alone doesn’t cut it. Thankfully, it’s not that difficult to find the clitoris. It’s not.
What Is the Clitoris?
The clitoris is a small nub at the top of the vagina, right where the inner labia meet and form a hood. The clitoris is home to around 8,000 nerve endings than the penis. This tiny erogenous zone on the female vagina is responsible for most women’s orgasms. There are numerous ways to stimulate the clitoris, including touching, rubbing, vibrators, clit suckers, and oral sex. The clitoris has no part in reproduction and exists purely for female pleasure alone.
Benefits of an Orgasm
Orgasms are not only fantastic. They have health benefits as well. Women’s orgasms can alleviate physical pain such as headaches or menstrual pain, boost immunity, and reduce stress by producing happy hormones called endorphins. And they feel good. Really good. It is why it’s a shame more heterosexual women don’t have them.
What Is a Clit Sucker?
A clit sucker is a sex toy for women that uses air and suction mechanisms to entrap the clitoris and stimulate the nerve endings through air pressure. The clit sucker is a small device with a small nozzle that hovers just above the clitoris. The clit suction toy then generates sonic wave vibration to stimulate the clitoris. A similar sex toy called the clit pump uses a vacuum mechanism to remove all of the air surrounding the clitoris, therefore creating pressure around the clitoris’s nerve endings. Vibrators are also beneficial for clitoral stimulation; however, they differ from a clit sucker in that they offer direct stimulation (vibrator on clitoris). Whereas a clit sucker hovers just above the clitoris and provides stimulation through air pressure. Think of it like someone sucking on your clitoris with their mouth during oral sex. That’s the basic idea behind a clit sucker. Some women prefer this type of clitoral stimulation to direct clitoral stimulation because it is less overwhelming. And while vibrators only stimulate the tip of the clitoris, a clit sucker surrounds it and provides more stimulation overall.
Why Buy a Clit Sucker?
Why not buy a clit suction toy should be the question. A clit sucker, or sex toys in general, are made to provide both men and women more sexual satisfaction. They are for pure pleasure, and there is nothing wrong with that. A clit suction toy can be used either independently or in the bedroom with your partner. They enhance your sexual pleasure and provide you with an orgasm that you might not otherwise be able to achieve. Sex toys are a guaranteed orgasm, especially a clit suction toy.
Are Clit Suckers Safe To Use?
A clit sucking toy is safe to use if you use them as directed. Overuse or aggressive use could cause blood vessel or tissue damage, but such incidents are rare. When using a clit sucker, start slow. Many clitoral suction toy devices have different intensity settings that allow you to adjust the level of intensity you want to experience. Should at any point your clit suction toy be causing you pain, stop use and lower intensity level. 
How Do You Clean a Clit Sucker?
It’s essential to clean your clit sucker or any sex toy you use regularly. Most rigid plastic or silicone sex toys are easiest to clean with warm water and antibacterial soap. Sometimes you can even put your clit sucker into the dishwasher but be sure to read the cleaning and care instructions before you do so. There are even cleaning products designed specifically for washing sex toys. Boiling your sex toy or clit sucker is generally not advised as it can damage the inner mechanisms of the toy. Failure to clean your sex toys before use can lead to a bacterial infection upon contact with your genitals. Yeah, not so pretty. Make sure you properly sanitize your clit suction toy before use.

Tips for Using a Clit Sucker
Use Lube
Lubrication can enhance your sex toy experience, even when using a clit sucker. Lube may make using your toy easier and more comfortable, especially if you are using it with a partner. Most sex toys are compatible with lube, but check the specifications of your sex toy to be sure. There may be some lube creams that are more or less compatible with your clit sucker's material.
Go Slow
When trying out any new sexual experience, start slow. Your clitoris is a highly sensitive part of your body. Being too rough on it could be painful or irritating. Make sure you start easy with your clit sucker until you find the right amount of pressure that works for you. If you are letting your partner use it on you, communicate with them what feels good and what doesn’t.
Experiment With Finding the Right Positioning
The best way to use a clit suction toy is to put it directly over your clitoris. Do this by using your fingers to spread your vaginal lips apart and then gently place the clit sucker nozzle over the tiny nub of your clitoris. It may take a few tries to get just right. Experiment with moving the clit sucker around your clitoris until you feel like you’ve hit the sweet spot.
Try It With a Partner
Clit sucker toys can be used during sex and make intercourse more enjoyable. Try doing sex positions with your partner, giving you free access to reach down and stimulate your clitoris. For example, the spoon sex position is perfect for using your clit sucker. Lie on your side with your partner penetrating you from behind. While he’s thrusting, you can reach your hand down with your toy and let your clit sucker do its work. Or, if your partner wants to be more involved with your orgasm, let him hold it while he’s thrusting. 
Clit Sucker Buyer’s Guide
Before you run out and purchase your very own clit sucker, there are a few things you should consider:
The Material
Most sex toys have six basic materials: glass, wood, metal, rigid plastic, jelly (like rubber or PVC), and silicone. Check the materials of your clit suction toy before purchasing. You want to make sure it’s from a safe material to put near and inside of your body. Be careful of purchasing cheaply made sex toys that may use materials that contain harmful substances. It’s best to buy from a credible company based in the US that is transparent about its manufacturing process. It would help to consider what material will be easiest to clean. You should clean most silicone-based sex toys using warm water and soap, but other materials, like glass or metal, may require different cleaning methods.
Read Reviews
One of the best ways to get an idea of how well a product works is to read customer reviews. Before buying your clit sucker, do your research and compare which brand gets the best customer reviews. Look for reviews that mention how well the product works (in this case, how quickly it makes you orgasm), how easy it is to clean, whether the material it’s made from is comfortable on your skin, how long the battery life lasts, and how easy it is to use. Reviews can give you a better picture of a product's strengths and weaknesses. Compare multiple products to determine which clit sucker would be best for you.
Consider What You Want It For
Are you interested in a clit sucker that only sucks your clit, or do you want a multi-function sex toy? Many clit suckers feature multiple pleasure mechanisms. You can choose from clit suckers that double as vibrators, G-spot stimulators, etc. These may be more expensive than a clit sucker alone, but worth the money for being multiple sex toys in one. Do your research and compare the different features of your clit sucker and decide which features would benefit you the most. 
The Takeaway
A clit sucker is a beautiful thing, honestly. Sex toys enhance your sex life and make solo play even more enjoyable. The orgasm gap is frustrating, but women can fill in the gap by taking control of their orgasm in the bedroom by focusing on the one thing that makes them orgasm, their clitoris. A clit sucker is a sex toy whose purpose is to stimulate that little love nub and bring women to climax. Sex should be pleasurable for both parties involved. A clit sucker ensures that happens.
