Womanizer's best-loved air-pulse toy. Hover the opening over your clit, let it seal, and the pulses do the rest. Fourteen levels, Autopilot, Smart Silence, two heads and up to four hours per charge.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone stimulator heads
  • Silicone and ABS body
  • IPX7 waterproof

Cons

  • Angle and seal matter. Fussy if you want to mash it like a vibrator
  • Smart Silence waits for skin. Annoying if you like the motor already running

Why it ranks: The one more people end up keeping. Light, sealed suction that builds fast, fourteen levels and two head sizes so it fits you. Over 1,000 owners rate it 4.4 out of 5.

LELO's sonic clit toy. A wide, soft mouth sends waves deep into the clit, 16 levels glide up smoothly, and pressing harder adds power. Ten modes plus two more in the LELO app.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone
  • Rechargeable
  • Waterproof

Cons

  • Sonic, not air-pulse. A different buzz than a Womanizer
  • Spendier than most clit toys on this list

Why it ranks: The pick for anyone who likes firm pressure. Sonic waves spread across the whole clit, and Cruise Control adds power when you push in. Too new for an owner rating here, so it ranks on fit and demand.

Softer LELO sonic. Wider, gentler mouth than Sona. Eight patterns. Built for people who found Sona too much.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone
  • Waterproof

Cons

  • Mild next to Sona 2
  • Wide mouth. Wrong if you want a pinpoint hole

Why it ranks: Same sonic idea as Sona with a gentler, wider touch. Nearly 900 owners give it 4.6 out of 5. Start here if strong toys go numb on you fast.

Small air-pulse. Six intensities. A first vibrator if buzzing against the clit feels like too much motor. Hover until it seals. Don't mash.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone stimulator head
  • IPX7 waterproof

Cons

  • Still a seal toy. Hover. Don't mash
  • Smaller motor than Premium 2. That's the point

Why it ranks: A small, simple Womanizer at less than half of Premium 2's price. Six levels and more than 1,100 owner reviews. A smart first step if you've never tried air-pulse.

Womanizer's first toy to pair Pleasure Air with We-Vibe vibration. Ten air levels, ten vibration levels and ten patterns, all controlled separately, in a broad head. IPX7.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone

Cons

  • Spendy. You are buying two motors
  • Still hover. Don't mash

Why it ranks: Womanizer air-pulse with a We-Vibe motor in the same head, each on its own controls. Worth a look if you can't choose between suction and vibration. Too new to rate.

The current top Womanizer. 3D air-pulse plus a climax-control slider so you can keep the seal and change the depth of the pulse. Two heads. Quiet if you treat it like an air toy, not a hammer.

Pros

  • Body-safe silicone heads
  • Silicone and ABS body
  • IPX7 waterproof

Cons

  • Spendy. If Premium 2 already works, this is a luxury argument
  • Still a seal toy. Hover

Why it ranks: The newest top-end Womanizer, with a slider that changes how deep the air pulses feel. Owners rate it lower than Premium 2 at a higher price, so it sits here.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Premium 2 and Sona 3 Cruise both work without rubbing. Premium 2 seals around your clit and pulses air, so it feels like quick, soft sucking. Sona 3 Cruise sends sonic waves through a wider mouth, so the sensation spreads deeper and broader, and it gets stronger when you push it closer instead of stalling.

Neither one is better for everybody. It comes down to whether you like a light, hovering touch or firm pressure. Here's how they compare, plus four other clit toys worth a look, each in stock at the price shown.

Before you buy

Buying guide

Pick Premium 2 if you like a light touch

You rest the opening over your clit until it seals, then let the air do the work. Fourteen levels give you room from barely-there to intense, Autopilot changes the rhythm for you, and the two head sizes help you find a seal. More than 1,000 owners rate it highly.

Pick Sona 3 Cruise if you like pressure

Sona's mouth covers more of you, and the sonic thrum reaches the deeper parts of the clit. Most clit toys fade when you push them in. Cruise Control does the opposite, so it suits anyone who likes to grind against a toy. The LELO app adds two modes and long-distance control.

Mistakes to avoid

If you're sensitive

Start low on either toy and add a little water-based lube around the opening. If even the lowest setting feels sharp, LELO Sila is the softer sonic, and Starlet 3 is a smaller, cheaper way to try air-pulse first.

FAQ

Common questions

Which is stronger, Sona 3 Cruise or Premium 2?
Sona 3 Cruise feels stronger when you press it in, because Cruise Control adds power under pressure. Premium 2 is intense in a different, sharper way at its top levels, but you hover it rather than push.
Is sonic the same as air-pulse?
No. Air-pulse toys like Premium 2 pulse air through a sealed opening, so it feels like sucking. Sonic toys like Sona send pressure waves that spread wider and deeper, closer to a rumble.
Does Womanizer Premium 2 have an app?
No. It runs from the buttons, with Autopilot for hands-off variety. Sona 3 Cruise works with the LELO app.
Can I use them in the shower?
Yes. Premium 2 is IPX7 and Sona 3 Cruise is listed as waterproof.
Which lube works with them?
Water-based. Silicone lube can leave silicone heads tacky.
