Womanizer vs. Satisfyer vs. Sona 2
Blow me?!? Have u ever wondered: What’s the difference between Womanizer vs. Satisfyer vs. Lelo Sona? I study & rank several dozen of the best Womanizer-style “clit suction vibrators” comparatively here, based on extensive testing. They’re all fiercely stimulating: going right for the clit & giving it everything they’ve got. Their pulsing technology has a certain passion about it—and I respect that.
These top clit “suction vibrators”1 all surround the clitoris and blow air out onto it. Their intensity levels range from “white & fluffy clouds” to “A tornado is coming!” I’ve never seen anyone describe precisely how Womanizer, Satisfyer, and Lelo Sona vary in terms of sensation, so I’ve spent two months analyzing the distinct feelings these “Pleasure Air” vs. “pressure wave” vs. “SenSonic” pulsators create. Plus my complete speed chart below ranks the intensity of each toy, with a dot for every single speed level.
A quick best-of & top recommendations for pressure waves / suction toys:
- We-Vibe Melt: Easy-grip power; Fits best during vaginal sex; My favorite!!!
- Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen. 3 or Curvy: Best for the first-time buyer; recommended for air-pulse toy fans too. Good power and good speed range for the pulsing air. Pro 2 Gen 3 has optional vibration & a vibration cap too! Curvys are similar but have 3 different mouth-sizes, compared here.
- Jewel vibrator: Very strong vibrating pulses. It’s a Rose vibe...that’s not a headache to clean up afterward!
- Womanizer Premium: Thuddiest pulsing tech, whoa! Also found in the excellent G-spot vibrating Womanizer Duo.

Looking for info on how to use a Womanizer / get a good seal? Here are full tips!
If you’re looking for *intense* + clit stimulation, then you’re in the right place! Only wand vibrators (ranking here) can compete with air pulsation toys for sheer orgasmic power.2

Womanizer vs. Satisfyer vs. Sona Sensation
Satisfyer vs. Womanizer, Womanizer vs. Sona—Do They Feel Different?
Yes, yes, they absolutely do! To explain the differences between Womanizer, Satisfyer, Sona, and Melt, I’ve devised a “thuddy vs. flappy” divide. It’s like the “rumbly vs. buzzy” dichotomy that sex bloggers often employ in vibrator reviews.
Thuddy pulsations have more impact and, to me, feel higher-quality—though others may prefer flappy pulsations, like how occasionally I’ll see someone specifically looking for surface-level (buzzy) vibrations. In summary:
- (New) Womanizer toys are, without fail, thuddy. Overall it’s thumpity-thump-thump, with a bit of flip-flappy-ness on the very highest intensities.
- Satisfyer pulsations are more flappy throughout. (To match, Satisfyer vibe motors are quite buzzy.) On higher levels, the Pro 2 sounds more shrill—more like an electric toothbrush. Satisfyer has improved this lately, luckily, with the new Dual Pleasure / Love and Curvys sounding less racous.
- The We-Vibe Melt is most sucky (due to the flexible mouth), with a good degree of thuddiness underneath.
- Lelo Sonas are vibro-pulsation (I could’ve sworn mine had a vibrating motor too, for 20 seconds the first time I used it)—and so are are the newer: Rose vibe, Jewel vibe, and Vedo Suki. I get the Sona’s “sonic waves” marketing, because Sona resounds a *little* deeper into the internal clit. Or, if you’re looking for a toy that will practically assault your clit with vibrating pulses, see the Vedo Suki; it strong. Or the Inya Rose vibrator’s extremely powerful for $41.99 — for anyone whose clit wants A LOT, from start to finish.
So how *fast* do these all go?
Pulsation Intensity Chart
This chart marks the intensity of each pulsation function in each of my 12 best Womanizer style toys, with a dot. From slow (left side) to fast (right side), here’s how Womanizer, Melt, Sona, and Satisfyer stack up for air-pulse speed, chart below. TL;DR: Womanizer Premium 2 ($199) has the best speed range overall; Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 or Satisfyer Curvys are IMO the best beginner option due to their lower start, vibrating functionality, & cheaper price ($39.99); and Vedo Suki ($54.99) is strongest on high — with the Inya Rose ($41.99) very, very close to that intense clit power.

We-Vibe Melt
We-Vibe Melt: 9.25 out of 10 intensity; Full review here
Shop We-Vibe Melt ($149.99)
The We-Vibe Melt is my first love in terms of air pulsation stimulators, and the reason this guide exists. I’ve read many a rave review from other users over the last 4 years now! Melt’s flexible oval mouth latches on and practically nibbles at my clit. I believe it’s the air pulsation stimulator that’s most like oral sex.3 This is a strong toy, and takes a little getting used to, is the only complaint I’ve heard from a few real-life Melt users. It’s Womanizer’s original Pleasure Air technology, improved with a more comfortable shape.
The We-Vibe Melt’s shape is über-convenient: I love sitting on it while writing reviews (!!!) and it’s made to fit better between bodies during penis-in-vag sex. It’s much easier to use while squeezing around / lightly jerking a dildo, for example.

And it’s hella strong: The lowest setting starts air pulsing faster than other Womanizer/Wow Tech products, and ends just as fast as Womanizer Premium original. Levels 9 to 10 especially are insane: they lose some thuddiness, as the pulsations are *all in*.
The We-Vibe Melt’s beautiful shape has lately been imitated by the Dame Aer: which is half as powerful on high, harder to grip because Aer’s body is thicker, and squawks in a way that reminds me of a sea lion.
Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation
Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation: 8.75 out of 10 intensity
Shop Satisfyer Pro 2 NG ($39.99–$59.99 depending on features)
A sex toy classic. The Satisfyer Pro 2 is the most popular air pulsation sex toy, hands-down. Its name is known because:
Satisfyer air pulsators are lower-priced than Womanizer ones, but still come with a good speed range. So they’re cheaper, but not sucky quality. Satisfyer Pro 2’s air-pulse (both 2nd and 3rd generation, $39.99 to $49.99) starts and ends maybe 5% slower than Womanizer Premium, with 11 speeds vs. Premium’s 12. Not much difference there. So you get a lot of range, a lot of options, for much less than a Womanizer.

I love the optional vibrating motor in the new Pro 2 Gen. 3!!! Air-pulse can feel even more crazy intense when vibes are added, too. And the Pro 2 Gen. 3’s total-cover cap is the best after I’ve come on the air pulsation, then I switch over to pulsing vibration on my clitoris so I’m not overstimulated post-orgasm. This lets me have better multiple O’s.
The vibration in the Pro 2-3 also reverberates outside (over my labia, more widely!) in the Satisfyer replacement cap 5-pack, where two of the silicone “mouths” extend farther to the sides. See those bigger donuts in the bottom right corner, above pic!
Womanizer Classic & Premium
Womanizer Classic: 9.0 out of 10 intensity, vs. Premium’s 10/10; Full comparison review here
Shop: Classic 2 ($129.99) and Premium ($199)
Wait for my point here: So I’ve got this Lindt chocolate bar sitting on my desk, with the word “EXCELLENCE” written really big under the brand name.4 That’s how I feel about Womanizer: it’s a brand that makes excellent products. The originator, the start of the air-pulse craze. But have they now been surpassed by other brands? Hmm.
As a rule, a Womanizer toy’s highest intensity gets stronger as the model costs more. So, the Premium 2 is the strongest at $199; the Classic 2 is quite powerful, but has a bit less range (has 10 functions, vs. Premium’s 14) for $129 pre-discount; while, last, Liberty and Starlet 3 have the least amount of options for $99/$79 and therefore are not worth the extra cost over a Satisfyer Pro. My personal favorite Womanizer is the thuddy-thuddy, quite strong Classic 2 in mint here:

2023 Update: The Premium 2 and Classic 2 are very similar to the originals, except: The Classic 2 has the same motor power as the original Classic—but Classic 2 is (a) slightly less rattly on the middle speed levels, and (b) has a “silky soft” PU coating on its ABS plastic body. Meanwhile, the Premium 2 now has 1 more low level, and 1 more high level vs. the original Premium (14 functions, vs. 12 functions for the original). Both version 2 Womanizers turn themselves off after 10 minutes if you don’t press any buttons—but can be powered right back on.
And if you want a G-spot plus clit toy, then the Womanizer Duo has the Premium’s intense pulses plus really rumbly vibration. It’s squirting-level good.
Satisfyer Curvy
Satisfyer Curvy: 7.5 out of 10 intensity; Review vs. Pro 2 here
Shop the 3 Curvys ($33.95 – $44.95)
This is truly the next generation of Satisfyer toys, IMO surpassing the famous Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation. Satisfyer Curvy (3 different models)—all have 11 air pulsation speeds, vibrate too (optional), and offer app control—either in person, or long-distance via the Satisfyer app. Did I mention they’re all5 under $45 too, and my favorite Curvy 3 is cheapest rn?!? Fantastic.

I go into depth about the differences between Curvy 1+ vs. 2+ vs. 3+ in this review. I’m the biggest fan of Satisfyer Curvy 3+, bottom in the above pic: it’s got a smaller, more flexible mouth—more sensation for my not-large clit. It’s hard to beat the Curvys’ “orgasms per dollar value.” All 3 Satisfyer Curvy toys share the same motor, the difference in their shapes and mouth sizes! Do note: Curvy pulsators are roughly 25% less powerful than Satisfyer Pro 2 on high speed, and the Curvy vibration is buzzy / high-pitched but pretty powerful—whereas the Pro 2 Next Gen. doesn’t vibrate, while the Pro 2 Vibrating model has weaker vibrations than the Curvys.
Womanizer Liberty & Starlet 3
Womanizer Liberty & Starlet 3: 8 out of 10 intensity; Full review here
Shop Womanizer Starlet 3 ($79.00) or Womanizer Liberty ($99.00)
Best Womanizer under $100. The Womanizer Liberty 3 now has 6 intensity levels, of deeply thuddy pulsation. It matches the motor of the earlier Womanizer Liberty—which I loved to sit on, and use hands-free!, due to its smaller, compact size.

So what’s the difference between Starlet 3 and Womanizer Liberty? Liberty has two extras, for $20 more total: (1) Two barely-different-sized, removable mouths (not just 1 like the Starlet). 1 mouth is slightly taller than the other. (This might be helpful if your clit sticks out strongly from your vulva when you’re aroused.) (2) The Liberty also has a plastic storage cover for travel purposes. And Liberty comes in more colors, too.
My Libertys keep dying, though! This is a very defect-prone toy, and the hassle of needing to have it replaced, IMO, isn’t really worth the fact that the pulsations are deeper than Satisfyer ones. TL;DR: If you’re going for a more affordable Womanizer, then the Starlet 3 is the best value; otherwise, consider a Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 so you get vibration as an option too.
Sugar Pop Jewel
Sugar Pop Jewel by NS: 9.0 out of 10 intensity; Full review here
Shop Jewel ($54.99)
Woooo!!! If you’ve heard of the Rose vibe (covered next), then the Jewel feels like it—except the Jewel does not have all the petals (which make cleanup seriously inconvenient.) Both clit toys vibrate and pulse air, all together.
The Jewel begins with pretty-strong pulses and light vibration; the most suction-y setting. It then speeds up to “hang on for the ride” and “OMG eeeeeh!!!” levels of intensity. (It’s got 3 steady speeds + 4 patterns.)

The Jewel’s smooth, semi-soft silicone forms a circular mouth slightly larger than the original Lelo Sona’s. This Sugar Pop Jewel by NS takes after the company’s strongest clit toy—the Inya Rose, more powerful than the other dozen Rose toys I own. It’s for anyone whose clit enjoys strong stimulation. Though not as intense as the Inya Rose, the Jewel also isn’t a “gentle warmup”-friendly toy; it exists to turn you on right away. I’ve rarely been aware just how hard my clit is before orgasm, than while using this Jewel.
Lelo Sona 2 and Sona 2 Cruise
Vs. Lelo Sila
Lelo Sona 2: 8.5 out of 10 intensity, vs. 9.5/10 for Sona 2 Cruise; Full review here
Shop Lelo SenSonic Sonas & Sila here ($69 to $169.99)
I call Lelo Sona 2 & Sona 2 Cruise “vibro-flutterers.” They have this “SenSonic” sonic wave technology that makes the pulsations feel totally different. It’s like a vibrating element added underneath the blowing air. (Now equaled, and even surpassed, by the Lora DiCarlo Baci, discussed above.)
The revamped Sona 2 & Sona 2 Cruise have a pulse plate that’s deeper into the hole, to avoid it accidentally grabbing anyone’s clit. (I feel 100% safe using the original Sona & Lelo Sona Cruise—but anatomy does vary.) The mouth in Sona 2 is fractionally wider, and has a slight upward-curved rim that I find less comfortable but am able to ignore once I get going. Indeed, all Lelo Sonas make me feel like crying, then coming hard.
So what’s the difference between the Sona and Sona Cruise? Cruise Control is the function that adds $30 to Sona 2’s price. Basically, it makes Sona Cruises jump up in power when you press hard on the mouth. I don’t like this, having speed ramped up almost against my will, and would recommend the cheaper non-Cruise Control version, which I feel is more consistent because you have complete control via the buttons. That said, the Cruise Control version goes harder on high speed, is more intense. Both Sona 2 models start on high when you hit the + button, but you can dial it down to go as slow as Womanizer Classic speed #1. No Lelo Sona gets as fast as Womanizer toys (besides Starlet 2), but it feels like MORE because of the whole SenSonic effect and the tight fit.

And versus the newer Sila: Sila is quieter, and has rumblier vibes. Plus a few folks have complained that the Sona’s tightness has injured them, so if you’ve got a big clit, then Sila will be the obvious choice. For average size clits, though, the Sila’s LORGE mouth makes the pulsation feel less intense: full comparison here. How much strength do you need? The Sila’s teardrop shape is interesting to experiment with, and Sila’s vibrations are almost G-spot vibrator-width—so my labia get more stimulation. Downsides, though: Sila’s button placement is awkward, on the underside of the toy so you have to memorize which way is up and down (the buttons are easy to confuse too). And unlike the Lelo Sona, the Lelo Sila is not a suction toy. Sona has mild suction, if you get the right fit; vs. with Sila, which is air pulsing pressure waves all the way. In the end, if you’re wondering: Satisfyer or Lelo, the Satisfyer Curvys will give you more for a better price — unless you like a tight clitoral seal, then the Sona is not a bad choice. Speaking of Sona alternatives:
Inya Rose Vibrator, by NS
10 out of 10 intensity; Full review here
Shop Rose Vibrator by NS Novelties ($41.99)

This “viral” sex toy got real popular, real fast because it is BAM 💥 in terms of power — not to mention, it’s cheap and it’s damn cute too. The Rose vibrator that’s part of NS Novelties’ Inya line has 3 steady vibrating/suction intensities, and LOW power is like the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Gen. on HIGH. (Not all Rose vibrators have this same power motor!!!)
The Inya Rose has pretty rumbly vibration to start, and then surpasses the We-Vibe Melt’s power. Overall, this Rose reminds me most of the Lelo Sona, but on serious steroids. Don’t let the Rose’s adorable body fool you, it’s a power tool through and through! Do not expect a gentle warmup from this toy. It’s overwhelming for me (I like moderately strong but not EXTREME power)!
The Rose vibe is cute AF, but its one huge downside is how its petals trap fluids. You need to use a soft bristled toothbrush to clean it.
Other Choices: In a Nutshell
I’m cutting down the bulk here, because we have so many options!
- Vedo Suki (10/10 for intensity😮; $54.99; full review here): WHOA there, tiger. The Suki is ridiculously powerful, the strongest suction vibrator I’m aware of. This is a clit stimulator for the person who knows they like it strong. Real strong. The Vedo Suki is like the Lelo Sona 2 (almost SenSonic, vibro-pulsations) except without any even kinda low intensities, and it finishes stronger too. Like Sona, the Vedo Suki has a smaller mouth that’s not suitable for above-average-size clitorises. On the rare occasion I can stand Suki (it’s overwhelming for my clit!!!), I find the smaller hole creates a better seal for me personally: it’s more sucking. Suki’s uniquely cool feature is the finger-loop. It’s a raised bar on the back of the toy so you can slide it between your first and middle fingers. That should make it easier to maneuver during sex with a partner. And hey, the price is sweet, so I would recommend Suki if you’re seeking out the most clit-pummeling suction toy out there.
- I am no longer recommending the Satisfyer Pro 2 & Pro 3 Vibration because I believe the Satisfyer Curvy toys are superior choices: they have pulsation, independently controllable vibration PLUS app control (can be long-distance if desired) PLUS are cheaper. Win-win. 😊 Pro 3 Vibes: 7 out of 10 for pulsation intensity, due to how the silicone at the mouth can be pushed down, so it’s harder to get a good seal & feel the intensity!
- Lovehoney Womanizer Pro 40 (9.5 out of 10 intensity; $119.99; comparison w/ Womanizer Classic & Premium here): I’m not saying the relaunched Womanizer Pro 40 is a bad toy at all…I just think it’s outdated now, given the new Womanizer toys (like the Premium) and especially the We-Vibe Melt. Womanizer Pro40 does get as strong as Womanizer Classic, but has 6 speeds instead of 8. The pulsations also feel slightly less thuddy, and revived Pro 40 makes a rattling kinda noise on higher speeds. If you were sold on the protruding, round mouth of the original Womanizer Pro 40 and want a replacement, check out this toy.
- Satisfyer Luxury: Pret-a-Porter/Haute Couture (9/10 intensity, $129.99); & High Fashion (7.5/10 intensity, $65.99; full review here): IMO, Satisfyer Luxury clit pulsators were the best products Satisfyer had ever created—back in 2019. But they’re expensive, and people don’t buy them a lot because isn’t Satisfyer supposed to be cheaper? If you are a fan of gentleness, then High Fashion’s lower pulsation intensity will be a benefit. Prêt-à-Porter, in contrast, has the same top strength as Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation: a wide range (11 speeds) that starts and ends slightly lower than Womanizer Classic. Prêt-à-Porter/Haute Couture and High Fashion—though their pulsation strengths differ widely—both have 3 steady vibe speeds that start powerful and pretty buzzy. Plus 7 patterns, which I would ignore in a vibrating dildo, but that help me get off harder along with the clit pulsation. Overall, an OK attempt, but overshadowed by newer & cheaper Satisfyer releases.
- Romp Shine & Free (6.5/10 intensity, my review linked because no one loves this product, don’t buy it): So the makers of Womanizer & We-Vibe products decided to make a budget brand of toys, “Romp,” and they’re really for the beginner. Or for anyone who doesn’t demand too much clitoral stimulation. The two Romp rechargeable models, Shine and Free, have 10 intensity levels. That sounds like a lot, but they’re all tightly packed, and you are not getting Womanizer-level strength at all. You’re also not getting Womanizer thud: Romp Shine and Free’s pulsations simply don’t have the same weight. I have a serious grievance against the battery-powered Romp, Romp Switch, which is even worse and made me break a nail trying to open its battery compartment. Also even less power than Shine and Free. These toys are genuinely bargain-bin compared to Womanizer products. The magnetic chargers are awful, really difficult to keep connected to the toy. The plastic feels cheaper, they only last 45 minutes per charge, and the buttons are harder to press as well. You really get what you pay for with Romp, unlike with most Satisfyer toys.
Tracy’s Dog Clitoral Suction Vibrator (😱)
This dual-stimulating “suction toy” sells like wildfire on Amazon, so I accepted one in order to have an educated opinion.6 I do not recommend buying sex toys from Amazon in any situation, and the Tracy’s Dog Clitoral Suction Vibrator is a prime (no pun intended) example of why that is:
The product manual lists the materials as “ABS + Silica Gel.” YIKES. Silica gel is a desiccant: like in those little packets that dry out everything around them and come with “DO NOT EAT” warnings. Silica gel is porous and not a stable sex toy material. And silicone gel is used in breast implants. Liquid-injection-molded platinum silicone is what I *hope* this product is coated with… But if the manufacturer is confused about what its products are actually made from, do you really want to put them in/against your genitals?
The Tracy’s Dog (brand name even more poorly chosen than “Womanizer”) toy has not-bad pulsation speed, though getting a good clit-fit is mission impossible with me and the large circular opening due to the insertable vibrator’s length. That internal arm bends, but isn’t flexible enough to let the clit nozzle rest on my clit when the vibes are on my G-spot. Surprise: the vibes are pretty rumbly. I liked them enough to try using the G-spot arm alone, but then the clit section was a hassle, torquing into my mons.
So this toy may be silicone, but no one outside the production facility really knows for sure. The Womanizer Duo is honestly the best alternative, a beautiful machine for dual stimulation—and $197.10 best pricing (w/ code FELICITY at checkout). I believe that within the next couple years, trustworthy dual stimulators with clit pulsation (instead of vibration) will become much more affordable. For example, I’m liking the Voodoo Beso Plus a lot more, and I trust it more.
On *Fit*: How Do You Use a Womanizer / Satisfyer
Since they are very different from traditional vibes, often people wonder: How do you use a Womanizer toy? How does a Lelo Sona work? Well, Womanizer, Satisfyer, and Sona are meant to fit around the clitoris. They create a sort of seal. Quick tips:
- Lube is essential! Much more comfortable with.
- Spread your labia first.7
- Find the highest intensity that doesn’t feel like TOO MUCH.
- Alternate going up, then back down if you feel overstimulated.
Keep in mind: You do not actually have to get a perfect seal/vacuum to use these toys, especially if your clit is sensitive. But it will increase intensity if you do manage a tighter fit. You also do not need to have an exposed clitoris; the pulses can still stimulate strongly through the clitoral hood. To answer a question I had when I got into air pressure technology testing: Womanizer toys do work effectively for buried clits too.
As mentioned, please use lube for more comfort, and to avoid irritation. With the air blowing outward, it’s so much better to be extra-super-duper wet when you start. A thick water-based lubricant will help.
Important tip: You may want to start slow!!! Do note that air pulsation clit stimulators are *A LOT*. Many clit-owners report coming hard and sometimes too fast, especially when they start using a Womanizer/Satisfyer. Sometimes these toys create multiple orgasms when the user thought that was something they couldn’t do. If you want a slower build-up or you’re one-and-done, then be gentle at first. Linger on the lower speeds. Go up in intensity…then back down for a little while. And repeat till you feel ready to come. Otherwise, air pulsators will practically extract the orgasms from you. Personally I’m most comfortable backing down a couple speeds right before I orgasm, because damn, this is strong stimulation!
We all have different stimulation preferences—so not everyone likes their clit treated the same way. Some like broader or more pinpoint stimulation; some like it to the right or left. (I like pressure underneath!) So getting the right fit may take some experimentation. Important questions before buying are: How wide do you want the mouth? How thick, and how hard?
When Womanizer Pleasure Air stimulators first came out, their openings were all (almost totally)8 circular. Satisfyer toys still, and the revived Womanizer Pro 40, follow that trend. But in 2018, Womanizer began releasing toys with oval openings instead: noticeably longer than they are wide. The We-Vibe Melt followed suit. I believe this is a huge improvement because clitoral-size studies uniformly indicate that clitoral glandes (heads, the part that can be exposed) are longer than they are wide.9
Many users do enjoy circular openings too. (With their softer silicone, the Satisfyer Luxury toys’ circular openings are still pretty mouth-y.) For the most streamlined fit, however, an oval shape will suit more clits more precisely.
Size is also a potential issue: clits vary in size much like penises do. The best new Womanizer models—Classic, Premium, and Liberty—try resolving this by giving you two silicone heads. The size differences are small…but may help a bit. For full “mouth” size info, see the chart in the previous section. In brief, smallest is the Lelo Sonas (original, & then Sona 2 is just *barely* wider); and largest is Satisfyer Pro 3 Vibration, followed closely by Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Gen. & Satisfyer Luxury High Fashion.

NOTES
- Some vibrate, but most don’t. Exceptions—like most Satisfyers discussed below—are noted.
- But a wand’s strength is broader than these Womanizer “clit sucking” toys—which concentrate their efforts on the clitoral glans (head). Some people have a strong preference for broader stimulation, so it’s worth considering your personal preferences before buying.
- Except, you know, it all stays in one place instead of moving around and licking. 😝
- 90% cacao, baby. Gotta go intense with the chocolate too.
- I’m ignoring the Satisfyer Love Triangle, as I keep pressing the wrong buttons on it and dislike the shape for that reason. It’s tough to grip.
- I turned down money for a review, for the record. I only promote products & services that I would consider buying for myself, a partner, or a friend.
- Especially if they’re fleshy / your clit doesn’t stick out.
- They’re very circular ovals, to be precise, just barely longer than wide.
- Some sources: This 2018 study of 657 women gave mean clit width as 4.62 mm, vs. 6.89 mm length. This 1992 study of 200 women measured mean width as 3.4 (+/- 1.0 mm), vs. 5.1 (+/- 1.4) mm length (standard deviation in parens).
Wow so much data!♥️ I’ve always known I’m not into full strength, but thanks to this lovely speed comparison chart now I know just how much, since I only use the first 3-4 speeds of my Satisfyer Pro 2 – thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the comment!
I love your detailed reviews! I too love data and comparison. I could use advice. My partner is usually on her back and I usually sit between her legs grab onto them and thrust for PiV. She’s unable to hold a toy because of a disability so I have to. We’ve tried wands but it’s hard to hold it on her clit while thrusting which means we have to stop and I need to try to get it in position again. We’ve tried Eva 2 and it doesn’t stay because it’s hard for it to get any purchase and it ends up causing pain when I try to get it more in place. We found these and she’s definitely interested but we’re wondering how well you think it will work given everything above? Really interested in the melt. Do you find that the head keeps your labia spread so it stays? Also can you recommend another toy that might help? Thanks!
Thanks so much for the compliment!
I need to either hold Melt or reposition it frequently to keep the seal optimal while being penetrated. My labia don’t really need to be spread once my legs are fully open, but I can’t imagine Melt keeping them back really effectively if they were larger.
Honestly, I think a We-Vibe Sync is probably your best bet. It’s definitely worth the price over We-Vibe Match because Sync has adjustable joints plus a separate motor in the clit section. And it’s specifically designed to be hands-free (but without the interesting wings like Eva—which I haven’t tried but myself but which kinda scares me).
I like very gentle and fluttery. Best bet for me – Womanizer Premium or Liberty or the Satisfyer High Fashion?
Good question! It depends on whether you’d want stronger power at the end: because these feel less fluttery once the pulsations start going really fast. I do think that Womanizer Premium is very fluttery on the first 3 levels.
Vs. High Fashion, which has that whispery quality going on through a few more speeds: it’s the most “muted” / gentle feeling of all these, with the lighter pulsations and the super-soft mouth.
I like Liberty a lot, I just think it’s a “lite” version of Premium.
Hi Felicity,
Stumbled upon this post while wondering what others compared to my toys. I currently own Sona 2 and Satisfiyer 2 and would say they definitely feel VERY different! I loved all of your charts and information! Thanks for the information!
Ah, so much useful, accessible, and fact-based information. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You’re so welcome, I hope you’ve found an awesome match for you based on it!
I have the sona cruise (not the 2). I find that it is not strong enough to always bring me to orgasm (can get there sometimes but it takes a while). It does feel good tho. I’m not sure which other product to try. I’m thinking the melt or womanizer premium or maybe even the the cruise 2. Would love some help in my decision.
I’d say to check out the We-Vibe Melt! It feels stronger to me than the Sonas, when all are on high speed.
Womanizer Premium is as strong as Melt, I just think Melt is easier to hold and fits into vaginal toying better than Womanizer Premium.
Hello,
Just dropped in to tell you that your comparison helped a lot. I got myself a lovely new Womanizer Premium – Raspberry, and I’m absolutely blown away by the toe-curling sweaty orgasms it brings me to!
Thank you so much for your informative posts.
Awesome, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Premium!!! You’re very welcome, glad to help.
My wife had a very sensitive clit and some vibrators work for her and others don’t.
What vibrator do you advise for someone with a highly sensitive clit? She struggles to cum with anything but she does occasionally.
I’d say the Pillow Talk Racy! I love how rumbly it is, and it’s not overpowering. The fully adjustable speed control is nice in these Pillow Talk toys: You press the control button to turn on, and then you hold your finger down and release when you find the intensity you like. So you have access to the full power range, instead of a few pre-set intensities chosen by the manufacturer.
Racy is a normal vibrator rather than an air pulsation toy, of course. It can be used either for clit or for G-spot play.
Thanks for the detailed information! Your site is a great resource and I have made several purchases based on your reviews. I’m wondering if you have any advice for me. I’m looking for a clitoral toy for use in PIV sex. I need strong, pinpoint stimulation. My go-to toy is the WeVibe Tango X, but I’ve had extremely inconsistent success using it during sex since I need to angle it a particular way for it to hit right and it’s hard to keep it in that position. I recently picked up the WeVibe Melt and enjoyed it for solo play, including with a dildo, but again I need it in a very particular spot and had no luck keeping it in the right place during sex. This is my first pressure air toy, so I’m not positive, but I would say the mouth seems too large for me. I’m a bit disheartened to keep reading that the Melt is considered the most ergonomic pressure air toy for PIV since I found it really unwieldy. It just kept slipping around and I had to stop my partner every 30 seconds to adjust. Broader vibes can occasionally get me to orgasm if they are super strong like a Hitachi, but more often they just numb me out before I get anywhere close. The pressure air concept seems really promising, and I really like the orgasms I’ve had with the Melt so far, but I still want to find that perfect toy for PIV and am not sure where to turn next. Do you have any suggestions? Or even positions that might be friendlier to the Melt? I’m typically only needing to go to level 3 or 4 with the Melt (although I can tolerate the highest level) so I’m not sure if more power would help or hurt. Sorry this was long. Thanks again!
Hi, thank you for reading! Ooh, you’re right, air pulse toys are really difficult to keep consistent positioning in during PIV sex, especially if the sex is active 😉 (not just sloooow grinding).
Have you tried the Melt during doggy style sex? Or any other position where you’re not facing your lover (but they’re entering you from behind).
Since you mentioned “pinpoint,” I wonder if you’d benefit from the Lovense Hyphy. A good bit of power coming from that little point. It’s definitely as strong as the Tango X, but higher-pitched. The handle/G-spot end is longer, so it may be easier to keep a grip on — but if your sex is more hardcore (=fast, with deep thrusting), I wouldn’t guarantee anything staying in place really well for clit stimulation.
Hey! I am a first timer and have read this review about 3 times before deciding to order Satisfyer Curvy 3. I tried it in numerous ways and I absolutely hated it. I don’t like “flappy” quality at all. Cannot achieve orgasm with it at all which is a huge disappointment bs so many hours wasted in vain. Does this mean this sort of toy is not for me? My clit is on the large side, could this be a reason? I would like to try your fave WeVibe ? Or Lelo? I don’t want flappy at all, and you said it would feel more sucky and like oral sex …rather than surface level annoyance. Ugh 😣 I’m sorry just super frustrated and willing to try another recommendation.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get much out of the Curvy 3!
I think clit size can be a big factor with these toys, if someone isn’t average especially. The Curvy 3 is the smallest Satisfyer air-pulse “mouth” I’ve seen; Curvy 1 vs 2 vs 3 mouth size detailed here. I had a similar experience with the Pro 2, which just feels huge to me and was a lot of work for very little pleasure.
I think the Melt is a little more suction-y, but it’s not really like pulling-inward suction. None of these air pulse toys are truly cunnilingus-like. The Inya Triple Delight does have a 3-way thing going on where it’s more imitative of oral, plus vibration (but def not an exact re-creation).
Depending on how large your clit is, the Melt may not be an improvement; but definitely avoid the Lelo Sonas, which are even tighter. The Lelo Sila is really big, and oddly asymmetrical, though.
None of the Womanizer mouths are substantially wider than the Curvy 3’s mouth width, but the Womanizer mouths are longer.
Hi – My wife has just bought the Vush Empress 2, but because her clitoris is very sensitive it has been difficult to find the right setting. On the lowest setting there is very little suction, but the next level up the vibe is too much.
(Even her other wand, she only uses on a low rumbly setting, anything more buzzy is too much for her.)
She is eager to try a suction toy, is there a non-vibrating one you could recommend?
Hi! So “suction” isn’t the correct term for this type of toy: “air pulsation” is. They puff air outward.
Womanizer products do not vibrate along with the air pulsing. I would recommend the Womanizer Starlet 3 as the best intro option with a fair amount of gentler settings! The teal color there is a really pretty turquoise, not green.
What would be the best toy for someone with a very small clitoris?
Hi! So generally, people with small clits will have less problems with fit than folks with large ones; since with a small one, there will just be a little more area around the clit that’s being air-pulsed, vs. actual discomfort for a large clit.
That said, my clitoris is small-to-medium and I prefer the Curvy 3 and the We-Vibe Melt.
