About this deal

For your comparison, from left to right: the Aer, Sona Cruise, and Womanizer Premium. Credit: dame / lelo / womanizer

The experience you deem "better" ultimately comes down to what your subjective preferences and individual stimulation needs are, though. No matter how much more effective it is to a clueless partner with no formal education on female anatomy, no machine can replace the fulfillment only person-to-person sexual encounters provide. Clitoral suction stimulators, made famous by companies like Womanizer, come with a reputation for ripping orgasms from your body so fast and hard you enter a different time-space continuum.Every big name in suction-style clitoral massagers (Womanizer, Lelo, Satisfyer, We-Vibe) uses a unique approach to the basic concept of suction stimulation, resulting in pretty distinct sensorial profiles. There's no objective "best." Each suits different personal preferences: broad versus targeted stimulation, no vibration versus some vibration, rumbly versus buzzy sensations. With my mirror in place, I tried out the different mouths to see which one fit best (you don't even need to turn off the toy while you swap them).

A blinking light indicates the toy has a low battery. Once plugged in the USB charger, the light will be steady until there's a full charge, which lasts 90 minutes, in which case the light will turn off. For me, The Poet arrived fully charged. But I give credit where credit is due. With the Sila, Lelo finally justifies its "disruptive" design choices, diverging from norms to actually fulfill the purpose of a unique sexual experience. By playing to the strengths of its patented "SenSonic technology" — which always promised a deeper kind of rumbly, internal pleasure than other suction-style clitoral stimulators — the Sila spotlights what distinguishes Lelo's approach from other top contenders in this category. Yet being less intense than the Sona or Womanizer can also be a feature rather than a bug for suction toy beginners. But for the most part, this bigger learning curve comes from how unique Sila's approach really is. Even the most experienced suction toy lovers will need to fumble around a bit to find the right placement and technique to get the most out of its design. Grasping it in your hand feels as natural as holding a TV remote, its intuitive shape making the Sona's bulbous body, the Sila's sea shell-like curl, and the Womanizer's aesthetically sexy yet cumbersome contours look laughably unwieldy. Also, in stark contrast to Lelo and Womanizer's gold accents, the dreamy purple high-grade silicone of the Aer is all sumptuous softness, with a texture that's more human than stiffly ornate.

It's possible to feel not-enough or way-too-much, a problem that's plagued the experience of other suction vibes. Thanks to the different attachments and my handy mirror, though, I was able to avoid that. The striking contrast in Dame's design process is tangible while using its toys, yet hard to put into words. The Aer simply makes intuitive sense, removing much of the guesswork and finagling suction toys usually require for finding just the right "seal" over your clitoris so the pulsation tech can do its thing. Then there are the buttons — dear god — I could write a love letter to Dame's button designer. They seem to be the only ones in the industry who get how crucial streamlining this seemingly minor component is in great sex toy design. Aside from being effortlessly accessible while holding the toy in position (another surprising rarity in the industry), the minimalist three-button layout includes a prominently raised intensity button, distinguishing it from the others so it's easily found without needing to look down. Because Dame, unlike its competitors, understands that sex toy buttons need to be so instinctual that even a person on the cusp of orgasm can easily navigate them.

It’s really annoying if the rose toy is out of battery while using it, or let’s face the fact: It’s completely a nightmare if the rose toy just quits part way through the play, because it was not fully charged. If you have ever been chagrined caused by the uncharged rose toy, or worse, you can’t even charge it, I think that’s why you are reading this article right now.The one button makes maneuvering the toy pretty easy. Press it once to turn on the toy, and hold and press until the toy turns off. There are finger pad-sized indents on either side, which can increase vibration or pulse speed. The Poet is a waterproof toy (meaning you can easily wash all parts in water) made of body-safe silicone. Its plum body is round with a pointed edge, like a flower bud. There's a single button to turn the toy on or off and to change the pulsation modes, and a slot for the charger on the other side. The Sila's big mouth, flattened rim, and overall curved body is designed for stimulation beyond just the external clitoral nub, though. Unlike any other suction-style toy on the market, it's intended to encompass the labia, reach some of the expansive internal clitoris, and (for me at least) even titillate a bit of the vaginal opening — an underrated pleasure point the sex toy industry too often negates. All that being said, no matter how good it is, the selling point that paints suction toys as being anything close to the sensorial experience of oral sex with a partner is a lie. It's a false narrative that both overestimates the capabilities of a human mouth, while also simultaneously underselling the intimacy of oral sex with another person.

That said, the Sila does offer one of the widest mouths I've ever seen, ideal for those with larger clitoral nubs who are all but excluded from suction stimulators with narrow openings like the Sona 2 (or more budget-friendly dupes like Satisfyer's Curvy). But that benefit comes at the cost of laser-focused intensity those mouths offer by creating a tighter seal around your clitoris. But first let's cover the nitty-gritty: The Sila is waterproof, made of body-safe silicone, and comes with a rechargeable battery lasting up to 2 hours, as well as a 3-button design that includes eight intensity settings and eight patterns. Like every other Lelo toy, it's gorgeously designed, the gold-plated elegance dripping off its unique horn-like shape. As far as discretion is concerned, it's even quieter than the Sona 2, much more muted than anything offered by Satisfyer but still not beating the Womanizer's near-silence. With The Poet, you can have as fast or slow a self-love session as you want. The sensations range from a subtle hum to strong throbs, depending on what you're in the mood for.But there's a big catch: Suction sex toys don't work for everyone (or arguably, even a majority of people with vulvas). Sila instead champions the slow build of deeper, mounting, more all-encompassing titillation to achieve a high quality, fuller-body orgasm. In the moment of orgasm, the Sila feels like the indisputably superior choice, that tingly, long-lasting afterglow of a slow and steady climb spreading throughout every inch of your body. But throughout the more frustrating lead-up, I couldn't stop craving the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am efficiency of the Sona 2 and its like.
