15 best clit vibrators for amazing orgasms, tried and tested
As a category, clit vibrators – or clitoral stimulators/clit toys – are the best sex toy type for women. Stat. According to a study in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, only 18% of clit-owners can reach the big-O without clitoral stimulation of some kind, resulting in an astounding 63% self-pleasure gap between the two sexes (according to further research by Lovehoney).
Sure, using your fingers (or theirs) might help to change that, but the best clit vibrators will speed things up and make your orgasms much more pleasurable – whether you’re masturbating or having partnered sex. Necessary, since feel-good hormone oxytocin floods the body post-orgasm – and we’re all about elevated wellness.

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.
What is the most popular type of clit vibrator?
- 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.
Hang on – what's the difference between a clit vibrator and a normal vibrator?
Pondering on the difference between the vibrator you've already got stashed in your bedside table, and a clitoral vibrator? Let us enlighten you. Clit vibrators toys don't typically stimulate the labia with vibrations – rather, focusing all of their energy on the clitoris by sitting around the head.
Similarly, lots of vibrators – like rabbit vibrators – are designed to penetrate and served g-spot stimulation at the same time as stimulating the clit. Clitoral stimulators instead focus solely on external stimulation of your most sensitive area and cannot be inserted.
Before you start scrolling and shopping, remember that we all experience pleasure differently, and it might take you a few clitoral vibrators to find what feels best for you. That's OK. Before you add to cart, think about portability (after something you can fling in your weekend bag?) and number of vibration patterns and intensity settings. You can always use it over underwear for a "quieter" sensation.
How we tested 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. They've 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. For now, we've reached out to their avid fans.
