Pressure wave vibrators also called sound wave vibrators, clitoral suckers, or touch-free clitoral stimulators started revolutionizing the sex toy market a few years ago. By now, every third German woman is said to own at least one of these gems. The technology behind them was invented by inventor and artist Michael Lenke from Metten in Lower Bavaria - initially intended to better transport creams into the facial skin, until a resourceful telescope saleswoman came up with a better way of using them, which ensured brisk sales in no time. In 2014, he applied for a patent for his invention.
How does a pressure wave vibrator work?
According to a study by the German Society for Sexual Research, only 33 percent of women regularly experience orgasm during sexual intercourse, and only 4 percent purely vaginally. This circumstance is met by the pressure wave vibrator, which focuses fully on clitoral stimulation. Many women reported having had their first orgasm with a pressure wave vibrator. It belongs to the category of lay-on vibrators, but it is not comparable to the vibrating stimulation we know from other sex toys. The most important part is a tunnel-shaped silicone attachment that is placed on the clit.
When the toy is put into operation, a negative pressure is created here, which slightly sucks the clitoris and also makes it bleed better. This stimulation is then repeated in waves - you can usually adjust the intensity to different levels. The sensation is somewhat similar to oral sex. Another advantage of this technology is that the stimulation takes place without touching - so no mechanical overstimulation of the sensitive clitoris can occur. This type of vibrator can also be used on other erogenous zones, such as the nipples, in a very pleasurable way. Waterproof models allow use in the shower or bathtub, whereby the pulsating impulses underwater should have an even more intense effect, and a warm bath beforehand also contributes supportively to relaxation.
What are the types of pressure wave vibrators?
One of the first companies to launch clitoral suckers was the German brand Satisfyer. Meanwhile, it offers a wide range of sex toys, but it specializes in pressure wave vibrators with the Air Pulse technology it developed, has already developed them in several generations, and sells them in most different designs. In the process, it has already won over 430 (!) international design awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, the Good Design Award, and the German Brand Award. There are vibrators that only use pressure waves, but also models that combine pressure waves with vibration or penetration. Other brands have combined pressure wave and tongue vibrators. The best 10 of them we present to you are below.
1. Satisfyer Pro 2
Highlights:
- Stimulates the clitoris through intense pressure waves without direct contact
- Made of super soft medical-grade silicone

The Satisfyer Pro 2 is the world's most popular lay-on vibrator - it has already been sold millions of times and in 2019 was chosen by Stiftung Warentest as the test winner in the category of sex toys for women with a score of 1.6. Purely visually, it appears in a delicate, rose-gold design and can be described as a hand-held vibrator in terms of its shape. The soft head made of hygienic silicone is larger and wider and nestles ergonomically against your clitoris. The Satisfyer Pro 2 has an optimized button design with a plus/minus button, where you can switch between 11 different pressure wave intensities. Many users told that they were overwhelmed by a violent orgasm as early as level 4. So it's better to start cautiously at level 1. But since every woman is different and you get used to it over time, the other 7 levels are there for a reason. Even multiple orgasms and squirting are not uncommon with this wonder toy - absolute addiction potential! Also a great enrichment for your love game for two. With the protection class IPX7, it is protected for short immersion - no problem in the shower, for longer use in the tub, the following tip is recommended: Pull a condom from the suction opening over the entire housing and tie it opposite. This way you will enjoy your device for a long time. By the way, Satisfyer gives a 15-year warranty on its products for functional defects that are not self-inflicted! You can buy the suction attachment separately if it shows signs of wear. A USB magnetic charging cable is included, which can be supplemented with a standard 5V power plug if required.

The special thing about this clitoris sucker: 20 professional women from the erotic industry have tested it and guarantee 100% effectiveness. And they should know. The ShuShu New Generation Clitoral combines pressure wave technology with vibration. Both functions are available in 3 patterns and 4 intensity levels each. While the pressure waves pamper the clitoris via the silicone head, the vibrations spread around the edge of the head, enhancing the sensation of pleasure throughout the area surrounding your pleasure pearl.
The compact size - unique on the market, according to the manufacturer - is perfect for taking the vibrator on the go. The brand feels connected to the Tantra tradition, which is why the logo is also modeled after the second chakra - the sexual chakra. The Shushu New Generation Clitoral is said to get the kundalini force flowing. The vibrator is also said to be self-cleaning. Visually, it is very reminiscent of an Egyptian scarab with its curved back made of grooved metal, especially in the color aqua. In addition, it is also available in the colors "Cerise" and "Black".
4. Pressure Wave Vibrator Enigma Cruise Dual Stimulator
About the Enigma Cruise Dual Stimulator
Highlights:
- 2 in 1: sound wave technology that stimulates the clitoris plus vibration to stimulate the G-spot
- 8 pleasure positions: from a teasing swoosh to a satisfying pulse
- Whisper quiet: discreet pleasure, anywhere
- Long-lasting charge: longer time to pleasure
- 100% waterproof: perfect for bath and shower
- Extra soft silicone: premium silicone that feels warm to the touch
The Swedish manufacturer LELO is known for various groundbreaking inventions in the sex toy industry, which have been copied many times. Perhaps the new Cruise Control technology is also one of them. So far, it is only available in LELO products like the Enigma Cruise. This is a combination of a pressure wave vibrator and a G-spot stimulator with ultra-powerful vibration. Created to achieve the "holy grail", the double orgasm.
So what is Cruise Control technology? You may have noticed that the stimulation pulses are somewhat suppressed when you press the devices firmly against your body. To compensate for this, the toys with this technology automatically amplify the vibration when pressure is applied. The Enigma Cruise works in all eight modes. The Enigma Cruise is a luxury sex toy in other ways, too: the three-button control panel features two LEDs, the vibrator automatically shuts off after 20 minutes when not in use, and can be kept on standby for up to 90 days. It's 100% waterproof and also looks mega cool with its purple-pink metallic shimmering insert. You get a matching satin storage bag with your order and a 10-year quality guarantee. Also available in purple and is slightly cheaper without additional cruise control technology.
5.Satisfyer Luxus "Haute Couture"
Highlights:
- Clitoral stimulator with non-contact sound waves.
- The ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand
- Luxurious, high-quality design
- G-spot stimulating
- Waterproof for wet pleasure
- USB rechargeable
Do you love luxury and noble fashion accessories? Then the "Haute Couture" from the Luxury Collection of Satisfyer is right for you. It has the highest quality and most elegant design among the Satisfiers. The slightly curved, ergonomic handle is covered with genuine leather, which makes for a particularly pleasant feel. This is complemented by gold-colored accents made of real metal. This Satisfyer also combines pressure wave stimulation in 11 intensities with 10 vibration programs that are independently adjustable in front of each other to send you to orgasm heaven - so fast, it's almost a shame it's already over.
But fortunately, we women also have the possibility to come several times in a row within a short time. And that shouldn't be a problem with this beauty. Of course, genuine leather requires a little more elaborate care - when playing in the water and when cleaning, you should be careful that it does not come into contact with moisture for too long. Rather, just wipe the shaft with a damp cloth. The suction head is removable so it can be thoroughly rinsed and cleaned separately. With its interestingly structured, black leather, the Satisfyer Luxus "Haute Couture" is definitely also a nice toy for leather lovers: inside and people of the "black scene" - those who prefer innocent white should take a look at the Satisfyer Luxus "Prêt-à-porter": It has the same technical equipment as the "Haute Couture", but comes in white life color with rose gold details.

Like the clitoral stimulator "Pleasure Queen", this one combines pressure wave stimulation and a small tongue - but unlike it at the same time in the same place! It hardly gets any better than that. But while the tongue of the "Pleasure Queen" rather "licks", that of the clitoral stimulator of OHMAMA vibrates. You can't set them separately either, but have a total of 10 stimulation modes to choose from. Visually, this toy looks a bit like the "little sister" of the "Satisfyer Pro Penguin" - it has a similar ergonomic shape and a white "belly", otherwise it is a delicate shade of pink and has a gold-colored insert that gives it a touch of luxury. Otherwise, it has everything you'd expect from a high-quality toy: skin-friendly silicone, a soft suction head that's removable for better cleaning, and rechargeable.

The SILA Cruise is an ideal beginner sex toy, but also a nice toy for connoisseurs who like to try new things.

In addition, the SILA was specially designed to reach climax especially gently and slowly, allowing you to experience body-conscious, even more, intense orgasms. The sound waves involve the entire erogenous area and spread evenly to the clitoris, instead of just selectively.
SILA has 8 vibration patterns and you can increase or decrease the intensity of each one. Cruise Control technology automatically releases 20% more power when you apply counter-pressure, which you often do unconsciously when you're heading for a climax. So the stimulation is stronger, just when you want it most. The round "handle" fits comfortably in your hand and the device is also equipped with a travel lock. A must-have if you want progressive and complete satisfaction that radiates to your whole body! It's not without reason that the SILA has already become a worldwide bestseller loved by millions.

Conclusion about pressure wave vibrators
Pressure wave technology has only been around for 8 years, known by a different name depending on the manufacturer, but ultimately all based on the same principle. But you can definitely talk about a revolution in this field, which is as significant as the invention of the first vibrator. So if you love toys and don't have a clitoral sucker yet, you've definitely missed out on something you should catch up on.
And if you've found that conventional vibrating toys aren't for you, then you should give pressure wave vibrators a chance, because the probability of getting an orgasm with them is at least 98 percent! It will probably be faster and more intense than you're used to. And if you are one of the 96 percent of women who don't get an orgasm purely vaginally, then it will enrich the sex with your partner immensely if you include a pressure wave toy. You can find all the models presented here and more in our store.
