How To Use An Air Suction Clit Sucker Toy

Air suction technology flipped the sex toy industry on its head, acting as a pleasure game-changer for people with vulvas. Clit-focused vibrators traditionally have largely relied on vibration to stimulate the user to climax, with wands, bullets, and rabbits being the most popular options historically.

However, clit suckers provide an added sensation that feels just like oral sex, and those who have experienced them will testify that it takes their orgasms to brand new heights. So, let's get into why they can be an incredible addition to your sex toy collection.

What Is An Air Suction Clit Toy?

Air suction clit toys like Lem and Avo are built differently, because, along with providing toe-curling vibration, they simulate oral sex by providing a sucking sensation directly targeted to the clitoris through pulsating air waves.

Air suction toys offer benefits such as hands-free or low-effort pleasure, while providing a gentler option with less friction and intensity than direct-touch toys. Plus, with adjustable intensity for beginners and experienced users, they are the perfect option for anyone and any experience level. While they were designed for use on people with clitorises, they can also provide a sucking sensation on nipples, making them ideal for all anatomies.

How Air Pulse Technology Works

The airflow and pressure around the clitoris encourage blood flow to the area, resulting in longer, more powerful, and deeply satisfying orgasms. Many people who have used an air suction clit toy have compared the sensation to the sucking and licking feeling of receiving oral sex.

Why Clitoral Suction Toys Feel Different from Vibrators

The opening of the toy is shaped to encircle the clitoris and create a gentle seal. It's the feeling of the air pulsating against this nerve-rich spot that creates pleasure, unlike wands and vibrators, which are designed to stimulate several regions of the body through direct touch and vibration-based stimulation.

How to Use an Air Suction Clit Sucker: a step-by-step guide

Prepare your clit sucker toy

Clean your toy before (and after) every use with warm water and an unscented, toy-friendly soap. Ensure your toy is fully charged to avoid a disappointing break mid-flow, and remember that lube adds another wonderful sensation while reducing friction, so don't hesitate to apply it over both your toy and the areas of skin you're using the toy on. This could be the clitoris, the tip of a penis, or even the nipples!

Position The Toy Correctly

Place the opening of your toy gently against the tip of your clitoris. The clitoris should sit inside the opening even without the toy being pressed. Proper placement is key, as a good seal allows the air pulses to work effectively on the right area without discomfort. Make slight adjustments with the toy to find just the right position for your unique anatomy, and take your time to figure out just what you like.

Start off on the lowest setting

Air suction toys can feel very powerful (especially for beginners), so remember to be patient and allow your body to adjust gradually. You can always bump the intensity level up a notch if you're ready for more, but pay attention to how your body feels and don't rush to the finish line (although clit suckers can feel so good, you might not be able to help yourself!)

Experiment with vibration patterns

Once you feel comfortable with your speed settings, you can explore a wide range of intensities to discover your perfect level of satisfaction. Experimenting with different patterns is perfect for teasing, building anticipation, or even orgasm denial. It's also ideal for edging, a technique that involves approaching orgasm and then backing off repeatedly to result in a deeper, more explosive orgasm.

Switch between steady suction and rhythmic pulse modes, and when you feel close, lower the intensity or briefly break the seal, only resuming stimulation once the sensation settles. This stop-and-start approach can intensify pleasure and help you stay connected to your body's responses.

Whether you're using your toy just on yourself during solo play or as part of partnered sex, playing around with different settings can help keep things fresh and exciting and bring something new to the table each time.

Sex Position Inspiration to Use With Your Clit Sucker

While clit suckers are often associated with solo play, they're versatile enough for a wide range of positions and partnered scenarios. For partnered play, clit suckers can add a new dimension by providing focused external stimulation while you or your partner engage in other activities. They can even increase the likelihood of having a blended orgasm!

Positions such as missionary can be adapted by holding the toy between your bodies, allowing for synchronized intimacy and external pleasure. Spooning is another intimate position that lends itself well to slow, sensual use of a clit sucker, with one partner controlling the toy while maintaining close physical contact. Sitting or straddling positions can also work beautifully, giving one partner the opportunity to control the toy directly, adding playful power dynamics and introducing BDSM aspects to the experience.

Masturbation Positions for Solo Play With Your Clit Sucker

Switching up your positions can help you explore new sensations, improve comfort, and maximize pleasure. From reclining on your back for full-body relaxation to sitting upright for better control and targeted stimulation, experimenting with different positions allows you to customize your experience.

Using a clit sucker in various angles can also enhance blood flow and sensitivity, making solo play more satisfying and efficient. Whether you prefer hands-free positions or ones that offer more precision, finding the right setup can elevate your self-pleasure routine and support a healthier, more confident relationship with your body.

To maximize pleasure and discover what works best for you, try these masturbation techniques with your clit sucker:

Slow Build Technique for Deep, Intense Orgasms

Start with a gentle suction level and gradually increase intensity to build up sensation slowly. This slow build technique helps you achieve deeper, more intense orgasms by allowing your body to fully adapt to the pleasure. Focus on breathing and stay present to prolong the experience.

Pulsing & Edging to Heighten Sensation

Incorporate pulsing patterns with your clit sucker by alternating suction speeds and pressure. Combine this with edging (bringing yourself close to orgasm before easing off) to heighten sensitivity and prolong climax. This technique can dramatically ramp up the intensity of your orgasm.

Combining Suction With Manual or Toy-Based Stimulation

For a multi-dimensional experience, use your clit sucker alongside manual touch or other sex toys like vibrators or dildos. This combination can stimulate multiple erogenous zones simultaneously, creating powerful and varied sensations and even allowing for blended orgasms.

Positions for Using a Clit Sucker With a Partner

Integrate the clit sucker during partner sex by trying positions like missionary, cowgirl, or spooning, where your partner can help hold or adjust the toy. This hands-on involvement can increase intimacy and add exciting new sensations to your shared experience.

Missionary Position

The classic missionary position is great for incorporating a clit sucker because it allows your partner to maintain eye contact and physical closeness while easily accessing your clit. Your partner can hold or adjust the clit sucker with one hand while using the other for additional touch or penetration. This position supports intimacy and control over the suction intensity, making it ideal for syncing with your pleasure cues.

Spooning Position

Spooning is a great low-pressure position to use a clit sucker with because it keeps both partners relaxed and physically close. Your partner can gently reach around to hold the toy in place without putting too much pressure on your body. This side-by-side position is cozy and intimate, while allowing for steady, suction and longer-lasting stimulation.

Cowgirl (Partner on Top)

Whether you are on top or your partner is, this position is perfect to control the clit cucker's placement and pressure more precisely. If you're on top then lean forward using one hand to maneuver the toy on your clitoris while still maintaining eye contact and kissing.

Seated Face-to-Face

Sitting face-to-face, either on a chair or on the edge of the bed, allows both partners to engage fully and comfortably, and it can also be incredibly erotic! Your partner can hold the clit sucker with ease while maintaining close eye contact and kissing. This position encourages communication and responsiveness, letting you both adjust the suction and rhythm in real time.

Doggy Style with Partner Support

While doggy style might seem less intuitive for clit sucker use, it can work if your partner holds the toy from behind or from the side. This position offers deeper penetration combined with the clitoral suction, which can lead to powerful dual stimulation. The challenge is maintaining the toy's position, but with practice, it can add variety and intensity to your sessions.

How to Charge Your Air Suction Clit Sucker

Keeping your clit sucker charged and ready is essential for uninterrupted pleasure. Here's a quick guide on how to charge it properly:

Charging Time and LED Indicator Guide

Most air suction clit suckers come with LED indicators that show charging status. Typically, a full charge takes 1-2 hours, and the light will change color or turn off when complete. Always check your specific device's manual for exact details.

To maximize battery life, avoid overcharging your clit sucker and store it in a cool, dry place. Use lower suction settings when possible, and power off the device immediately after use to conserve energy.

Only use the manufacturer's charger, and avoid charging near water or in humid environments. Disconnect the charger once the battery is full to prevent overheating and extend the toy's lifespan.

How to Clean and Care for Your Clit Sucker Toy

Proper cleaning and maintenance are key to keeping your clit sucker hygienic and functioning well. Clean your clit sucker with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a specialized toy cleaner if it's not specified as waterproof or water-resistant. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or bleach, as they can damage the silicone or internal components and irritate your skin.

After cleaning, air-dry your clit sucker completely before storing it in a dust-free pouch or container. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, and check your toy regularly for wear and tear to ensure safe, pleasurable use for years to come.
