The Best Clit Suckers to Get You Off
Other Good Suction Toys
We’ve tested dozens of clitoral suction toys, and there are only a select few we’d call the absolute best in any given category. The others are here. These are still good suction toys, and you should check them out if you’re still shopping around.
Lovehoney Rose for $60: The Lovehoney Rose is another example of a “rose” suction toy: wide on one end and narrow on the other. This design makes it easy to use solo or with partners. The mouth is on the smaller side, so it provides pretty intense stimulation even on the lower settings. The mouth is removable for easy cleaning, too, which is always appreciated, so you don’t have to break out the cotton swabs.
Womanizer Enhance for $169: Womanizer added a suction toy to its already long lineup: the Enhance (7/10 WIRED Recommends). While it isn’t exactly groundbreaking, delivering the award-winning clitoral stimulation via Pleasure Air Control that fans of Womanizer have come to expect, what I love about this toy is its versatility. For the first time, Womanizer allows the user to enjoy a suction sensation or, if the user is in the mood for something else, vibrations that rumble deep and far throughout the pelvis region. After all, different moods demand different ways of experiencing pleasure. When you’re new to sex toys, trying to figure out what sensations you prefer is trial and error. That’s why the Enhance is a fantastic toy for beginners. You get suction and vibration in one toy, making exploration easy and fun.
Biird Namii for $109: It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this sex toy. Not just because I’m a fan of toys on the smaller side, but because it’s so damn cute and discreet. You can leave it out on the kitchen table, and it can easily be mistaken for an elegant small vase. Made of super-soft silicone that feels great to the touch, the Namii is a clit sucker on one end and a vibrator on the other. Even the charging base, which emits a soft light, helps create a sensual experience. Some suction toys tend to be noisy, but that isn’t the case here. The Namii is whisper-quiet, no matter if you’re enjoying the five suction intensities or the five vibration patterns. You may also like that Biird plants a tree for every product sold, and it partners with One Tree Planted, a non-profit that focuses on reforestation all over the globe. Getting off always feels even better when you know you’re contributing to an important cause.
Smile Makers The Poet for $140: Even those of us who have a clitoris sometimes forget that this part of the body varies in size. While the majority of the clitoris is on the inside of the body, the external part, the glans (that little nub), can range from 1 to 2 centimeters in length and between 0.5 and 1 centimeter in width. If that weren’t enough, the size of the clitoral hood can affect how accessible the clitoral glans is. When creating The Poet suction toy, Smile Makers considered this, offering three interchangeable mouths so no matter the size of your glans, you can enjoy pulsating suction. The Poet is easy to use, too. Instead of having to fiddle with buttons to get the right intensity, all you have to do is squeeze the ultrasoft silicone to navigate through the five pulsation modes, allowing you to experience pleasure on your terms.
Lovehoney X Romp Switch for $35: This suction toy is a perfect example of getting your money’s worth. Made of ABS plastic with a silicone mouthpiece, it’s waterproof, whisper-quiet, and has a run time of 300 minutes (plus six intensities to choose from). In other words, this joint venture by Lovehoney and Romp is everything you could want in a suction toy. However, there is one downside. Unlike most modern sex toys, it’s not USB rechargeable. Instead, it requires two AAA batteries (included in the box). These batteries won’t last forever, meaning you’ll need to build up a stash, but considering the low price, replaceable batteries are a small sacrifice for this toy. Also, you don’t have to worry about losing the charger, so that’s something.
We-Vibe Melt 2 for $159: I loved the original Melt, so I was excited about the new version. But when I got the Melt 2, my excitement dwindled. It’s a fantastic clitoral suction toy but hardly different from the original. Both last about two hours, take 90 minutes to charge, are waterproof, and can be controlled—near and far—via the We-Connect app. The only difference is that Melt 2 has 12 intensity levels and six Pleasure Air suction patterns, whereas the Melt 1.0 didn’t have the patterns. I’m not big into patterns, so this feature was lost on me. That doesn’t mean it will be lost on you if you’re a pattern-loving person.

It’s always pleasing to see an array of physical buttons, and you get sizable ones too. You’re not going to miss these wide flat ones even when picking the pace up. The silicone strap has a nice stretch to it and while the button clasp is a bit awkward to get into place, this watch does not budge.
Suunto has jumped on the flashlight trend, with an LED light strip sat on the front of the case. You can adjust brightness levels and there’s SOS and alert modes to emit a very noticeable pulsating light pattern. This is a light I found useful rooting around indoors as well as on nighttime outings.
The biggest change is the introduction of a 1.5-inch, 466 x 466 AMOLED display. This replaces the dull, albeit very visible, memory-in-pixel (MIP) display. Suunto also ditched the solar charging that did require spending a significant amount of time outside to reap its battery benefits.
Adding AMOLED screens to outdoor watches has been contentious. The older MIP displays are just more power-efficient. The Vertical 2 is down by about 10 days from the older Vertical for what Suunto calls daily use.
Still, even if you’re putting its tracking and mapping features to use, you’re not going to be reaching for the charger every few days. After two hours of tracking in optimal GPS mode, the battery only dropped by 2 to 3 percent. The battery drop outside of tracking is also small and the standby performance is excellent as well.

A more streamlined set of smartwatch features helps reserve battery for when it really matters. Unfortunately, I probably got better battery life because you don’t get phone notifications or responses if it’s paired to an iPhone instead of an Android. There’s also no onboard music player, but you do get a pretty slick set of music playback controls that are accessible during tracking.

Police do not have to explain to lawyer Fahad Ansari why they seized his phone data, says court | Computer Weekly
Police do not have to give a lawyer who was stopped, questioned and had his work mobile phone seized for forensic examination reasons for their actions, the UK’s high court has ruled.
The decision means that lawyers can be subject to counter-terrorism powers and have their privileged communications extracted and examined by the state, without having the right to know the case against them, said advocacy group Cage.
Fahad Ansari, who acts for Hamas in a legal appeal to have its proscribed status in the UK overturned, was stopped by police under Schedule 7 of the terrorist act while returning from holiday with his family last year.
The case is believed to be the first targeted use of Schedule 7 powers, which allow police to stop and question people and seize their electronic devices without the need for suspicion, against a practising solicitor.
The high court ruled on 4 March that police may present evidence about the reasons stopping Ansari in a closed court in front of a special advocate without Ansari or his lawyers being present – preventing Ansari or his legal team from learning the reasons why he was stopped.
Lawyers for Ansari argued the lawyer was entitled to be given a sufficient “gist” of the police’s case against him to enable him to disprove the police’s case, even if doing so would be damaging to national security.
Privileged material
Hugh Southey KC told the court in October 2025 that Ansari’s work phone contained data going back 15 years, including privileged material relating to his clients, and that any data extracted by the police should be deleted.
Ansari, an Irish citizen, argues that he was unlawfully stopped, detained and questioned under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act when he disembarked from a ferry with his family at Holyhead after visiting relatives in Ireland in August 2025.
The court was told last year that the phone contains details of at least 3,000 contacts, voice notes, memos, case papers, search terms and metadata, the overwhelming proportion of which is likely to be legally protected.
Justice Chamberlian found in a judgment published today the question was not whether any allegations made against Ansari by police in closed hearings were true, but whether police had a lawful basis for stopping and searching the lawyer at the time the search was carried out.
He found in a 15-page ruling that the use of Schedule 7 powers against Ansari to question him and seize his phone does not require any allegation to have been made against him, and that the seizure and retention of his personal information does not affect Ansari’s legal position.
The judge found that there were “substantial protections” in place to protect the integrity of legally privileged information, and that even if legally privileged material could be used against third parties, which it could not, they would enjoy the “full panoply of procedural rights”.
Ansari said he handed over the password to his phone after police warned him that to fail to do so would be an arrestable offence. He said that police also questioned him about Palestine Action, a direct action protest group that was proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, though Ansari has no connection with the group.
South Wales Police, which is responsible for counter-terrorism in Wales, has denied that Ansari was stopped because of his political views, and maintains that asking him questions about proscribed organisations is not unlawful.
Ansari, a registered freelance solicitor, became consultant at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, where he specialises in national security and complex human rights cases, after training at Fisher Meredith LLP and Birnberg Peirce.
Speaking after the judgement, Ansari said he would challenge the judge’s order that the police should not disclose their reasons for stopping him in open court.
“Seven months on, I remain in the dark about why counter-terrorism police detained and interrogated me and continue to examine the contents of my work phone,” he added. “I am exploring all options to challenge this dangerous precedent.”
Commenting on the case, Anas Mustapha, head of public advocacy at Cage, said that allowing secret evidence was a “thin end of the wedge” that could undermine justice. “Once courts accept that the state can accuse someone without revealing the accusation, the foundations of justice begin to collapse,” he added.
“The legal profession now faces a serious question: whether it will continue to accommodate secret courts through mechanisms like the special advocate system, or whether it will begin the difficult work of rolling back a process that has steadily eroded open justice for more than two decades,” said Mustapha.
Today, Apple announced its new budget MacBook. At $599, it looks seriously impressive. While I haven’t tested its performance, battery life, or display just yet, it may end up being hard to beat at that price based on some of the specs alone.
But that doesn’t mean the competition isn’t there. I want to recommend a couple of Windows laptops deals that offer various advantages over the MacBook Neo, showing where the Neo has both strengths and weaknesses.
First, check out this Asus Vivobook 14, a laptop I’ve been happy to recommend as a budget computer for the past year. In many ways, this is the Windows version of a laptop like the MacBook Neo. It uses a highly-efficient ARM chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X, meaning it gets great battery life and performs admirably in daily tasks. It’s not quite as thin or light as the MacBook Neo, but it’s fairly portable for a laptop at this price.
Unlike the MacBook Neo, the Vivobook 14 comes with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. That’s twice what you get in the MacBook Neo’s starting configuration. Right now, this configuration of the Vivobook 14 is on sale for $539. That’s a killer deal for those specs. It even comes with a healthier mix of ports, including HDMI, two USB-A, one USB-C, and a headphone jack. That also means it can support two external displays unlike the MacBook Neo, which can only handle just one.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m not at all saying the Vivobook 14 is a slam dunk over the MacBook Neo. Based on specs alone, I know the Vivobook 14 is a serious step down when it comes to the display. It’s less sharp, stretched across a larger screen, and the color performance isn’t so good. The Vivobook 14 maxes out at 280 nits, whereas Apple says the MacBook Neo can go all the way up to 500 nits. I have a hunch that the MacBook Neo will deliver a much better display in just about every regard.
There’s also the touchpad. It’s a little clunky to use, which is typical of budget Windows laptops. This is just a guess—but the touchpad on the MacBook Neo will likely feel smoother. It’s a mechanical trackpad (unlike the MacBook Air’s haptic feedback trackpad), but Apple has almost never made a bad trackpad.
If you’re not convinced by the Asus Vivobook 14, I’d also recommend the HP OmniBook 5, which is currently on sale for $500 and uses the same Snapdragon X chip. While it only has 256 GB of storage, it has a much better screen than the Vivobook 14, using an OLED display. It’s not any brighter than the Vivobook 14, but it gives you far better color performance and contrast. It’s also just 0.50 inches thick, matching the MacBook Neo exactly in portability.
