The best air-suction toy available for partner play

We-Vibe Melt – $142

The We-Vibe Melt creates a smooth, seamless pulse,” Bard says. Another reason Smash loves it is its compatibility with an app that can be used to “create patterns and share them with a partner” from anywhere in the house. Smash says that the Melt is compact and has a narrow rim that doesn’t take too much space on the vulva. This allows for more penetration.

The most discreet air-suction device

Lora Dicarlo Baci – $170

Joanne Encarnacion, a sexual health and well-being coach, says that aesthetics are very important to her because she tends to wander around looking for nice-looking sex toys that do not actually look like sex toys. Sparks says that the Baci’s design isn’t too sexy, so it doesn’t matter if somebody sees it. The design allows the toy rest in the outer labia and emit vibrations “down to the clitoris’, which will allow you to experience more sensations as your orgasm builds. Encarnacion also agrees with us, stating that Baci-assisted sex acts “feel more like an intentional climax than a fast and jarring vibrating vibration to get you off as quickly as possible.”

The gentlest air-suction tool

Biird Obii – $131

Doan recommends the Obii to anyone with a sensitive clitoris or who prefers less intense stimulation. It is a suction-toy-slash-nightlight made by Biird, a woman-owned company. She explains that most air-pulse toys can be too intense for her due to the concentrated stimulation on the clitoris. “With the Obii I can actually use the toy all the way through my orgasm.” The Obii’s (so adorable!) design doesn’t scream sex toys, nor does the neutral green, yellow, and pink colors. The toy was awarded a Red Dot Design Award because of the thoughtful details it has, such as a wireless charging base that lights up and a plastic birdcage-esque cover protecting it from dust.

The best travel-friendly air-suction tool

Satisfyer Pro Traveler – $40

Sparks states that she is an “erotic educator” and that it is essential to have a personal sex toy for travel. She says the “travel cap keeps it very discreet” in case a TSA agent or anyone else looks through your bag. Sparks says the toy is small enough to fit in your palm and has 11 whisper-quiet programmes. These are two features that make it ideal for long flights, when you need a quick bathroom break.

The best air-suction toy, which also stimulates your G-spot

Womanizer Duo – $208

Womanizer’s device promises to deliver double the fun for those who are familiar with air-suction toys, or simply more adventurous in trying them. The brand’s trademark external air-pulse stimulation is delivered by the device. You can also use the vibrator to stimulate your G-spot internally. Bard recommends it to those who want “earth-shattering and blended orgasms”. “There are multiple speeds for both vibration and air-pulse, and it hits all the right spots simultaneously,” she says.

The best (and most affordable) air-suction tool that stimulates the G spot

Bellesa Boutique AirVibe – $99

The AirVibe is a combination toy that Anne Stagg, an erotica writer and podcast host, suggests. It’s a device that Bellesa Boutique, a sex-toy company, created in collaboration with BuzzFeed. The AirVibe is roughly half the price of the Womanizer Duo. It “combines G-spot vibration with suction on the clit,” which Stagg describes as “glorious toe-curling, mixed orgasms.”
