The History of Suction Vibes, with a rose vibrator

The History of Suction Vibrators

Happy Women’s History month! This is another entry in our own ForPlay month of celebrating Women’s Sexual History. Woohoo!

So what is a suction vibrator? If you haven’t yet heard of them, they are AMAZING. And though they’re a newer entry into the history books of female, femme and AFAB pleasure, they’re a very welcome addition.

Suction vibrators, also known as clitoral suction devices or oral sex simulators, have gained huge popularity in recent years. They’re renowned for their ability to provide intense clitoral stimulation through gentle suction and pulsation. Think a tiny little mechanical mouth, especially designed JUST for your clit (or other erogenous zone!). What’s not to love?

Emergence in the 21st Century

Suction vibrators emerged in the early 2000s as a new innovation in the realm of sex toys. These devices typically feature a small, soft silicone or plastic nozzle that is placed over the clitoris. They use a combination of suction and pulsation to simulate the sensation of oral sex. Here at ForPlay Toys we always use body-safe, medical-grade silicone! That way you can benefit from the velvet-soft texture and body-safe materials of a truly premium suction vibrator.

Technological Advancements

Suction vibrators have benefited from advancements in technology, particularly in terms of motor power and rechargeable batteries. Early models were often battery-operated and had limited functionality, but newer models offer more power, variable intensity settings, and USB rechargeability. We love our USB models for many reasons! First, they’re more environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly than using disposable batteries. Secondly, they’re more powerful. And best of all, they’re wire-free when you urgently need to get your masturbation on. No guilt, just pleasure!

Popularity and Mainstream Acceptance

Over the past decade, suction vibrators have surged in popularity and have become increasingly mainstream. They have been featured in mainstream media outlets, endorsed by sex educators and influencers, and stocked by major retailers both online and offline. Their popularity can be attributed to their ability to provide intense clitoral stimulation and their reputation for inducing powerful orgasms. Many women have actually found the suction sensation more effective and pleasurable than vibration, as it mimics oral sex. Here at ForPlay Toys, our founder and intimacy expert Inka Winter endorses them highly, especially when combined with penetration. And many of our sexpert testers have loved our suction models, with their varying strengths. Which brings us to…

Variety and Customization

As the market for suction vibrators has grown, manufacturers have introduced a wide variety of models with different designs, features, and price points. Some devices focus solely on clitoral stimulation, while others offer dual stimulation for both the clitoris and G-spot. Additionally, many models come with customizable settings, allowing users to adjust the intensity and pattern of suction to suit their preferences. So if you’re looking for variety, look no further – we have it all! AND we’ve tested them with our community of sexuality experts, so you can calibrate your purchase to your own body and pleasure preferences.

Positive Reception and Reviews

Suction vibrators have received positive reviews from users and critics alike. Many people praise them for their ability to deliver intense pleasure without direct contact or friction, making them ideal for individuals with sensitivity or discomfort. Many of our more sensitive testers use suction vibrators over a layer of fabric, like their underwear. Suction vibrators have also been lauded for their effectiveness in inducing quick and powerful orgasms. But here at ForPlay Toys we also love taking the pressure and goal of orgasm off the table, and simply exploring sensation and pleasure! Suction vibes are great for teasing every erogenous zone, and extending foreplay. So don’t head right to the clitoris… see what a suction vibe can do for you, or your partner. No matter what your gender identity or anatomy might be.

Continued Innovation

The market for suction vibrators continues to evolve, with manufacturers constantly introducing new features and improvements. Recent innovations include waterproof designs for easy cleaning, and ergonomic shapes for enhanced comfort and maneuverability. Here at ForPlay Toys we’ve personally tested all our suction vibes, and endorse them whole-heartedly. All our models are waterproof, made with body-safe materials, and are a delight to use. Easy to clean, and easy on the eyes, they’re a perfect gift for yourself, or for someone you love.

In conclusion

So there you have it! Suction vibes are the newbies on the sexual history block. But we believe they’re quietly revolutionary. Their history is still relatively short compared to other types of sex toys, but their rapid rise in popularity underscores their appeal and effectiveness in enhancing sexual pleasure. So why not try a suction vibe today? What better way to celebrate women’s history month than by taking empowering yourself or someone you love, and giving the gift of suction!
