This, as per Lovehoney’s 2024 Sex Trends Report, results in only 14% of women being able to orgasm during sex. Depressing, huh?
But investing in a clitoral vibe is bound to help you hit that oh-so-sensitive sweet spot — whether during masturbation, foreplay, or loving partnered sex. And make your orgasms much more pleasurable. So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading for our definitive guide of the best clit stimulators — as reviewed by sex toy testers and experts.

What is a clit vibrator?
Clit vibrators are sex toys that have been designed to stimulate your clitoris with vibrations of varying patterns and intensities. Unlike a wand vibrator, clit vibrators toys don't typically stimulate the labia — rather, they focus all of their energy on the clitoris by sitting around the head. Similarly, while rabbit vibrators are designed to penetrate and stimulate the g-spot as well, clit vibrators cannot be inserted, and focus solely on targeted external stimulation.
What are the benefits of using a clit vibrator?
Home to over 8,000 nerve endings, the clitoris is the main pleasure centre of the vulva. Therefore, stimulating this highly sensitive area using a clit sex toy — whether you opt for a vibrator, sucker, or oral simulator — is one of the best ways achieve an orgasm.
As well as feeling sublime in the moment, orgasming great for our overall wellbeing because it floods the body with feel-good hormones like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin — while also lowering levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. Physically, an orgasm can also help strengthen the pelvic floor, boost heart health, and relieve pain. So, it's high-time that you treated yourself to a clit vibrator as part of your health and wellness toolkit.
What are the most popular types of clit vibrators?
- Clit Suckers | The most popular kind of clit vibrators are clit suction toys which aim to mimic oral sex through contactless “sonic wave technology” – a new technology that creates airwaves around your clitoris to suck it upward. Some brands have their own patented technology, so the tech itself can vary from toy to toy, but the main takeaway is that you don't need direct contact to experience intense clitoral stimulation.
- Clitoral Massagers | Clit massagers pulsate against the clitoris, instead of sucking it upwards, for a pleasurable-yet-softer sensation which can slowly bring you to climax. Finger vibrators, rumbly magic wand vibrators and bullet vibrators tend to fall into this category – they’re perhaps the most versatile.
- Oral Sex Stimulators | Oral sex stimulators, like the LELO Ora, tend to be a little bit more flexible so that they can mimic the sensation of a lover's tongue and help you feel like someone is going down on you.
How to choose the best clit vibrator for you:
It's worth remembering that we all experience pleasure differently — so it's totally normal if it takes you a few clitoral vibrators to find what feels best for you. Considering things like portability, number of vibration patterns, and how quiet you need your toy to be are definitely important — as well as if you're looking for something waterproof.
Figure out what gets you wet and then you can narrow down vibrators by type. Want something that mimics oral sex? Try a suction toy. Looking for extreme intensity? A wand vibe’s diffuse sensations could be for you.
If you’re easily overstimulated, look for a vibrator that has a wide range of settings—especially ones on the lower, gentler side, recommends Dr. Carol Queen, Staff Sexologist at Good Vibes. Choosing a toy with multiple patterns offers even more paths to pleasure. “A sensitive user might find a sustained vibration is too much, but an on-off pattern is easier to enjoy,” Dr. Queen says.
How we test the best clitoral vibrators:
We've been updating our guide to the best clit vibrators since 2021, and we haven't just relied on online reviews from shoppers around the United Kingdom to write it. Instead, both seasoned sex toy testers and first time users have used the clitoral vibrators in this edit over a period of at least a week during both sex and masturbation. With water-based lube, and without.
These clit vibrators have been scored based on ease-of-use, speed and intensity of orgasm, ergonomic design, number of vibration settings, how loud they are and whether they're waterproof. For the models we haven't yet tested, we're working on it.
