The 5 Best Nipple Suckers

I had the honor of testing out the Fifty Shades of Grey Nothing But Sensation nipple suckers, and they’re still a part of my regular sex toy rotation! These silky soft silicone suckers were actually my first foray into the world of nipple toys, since I was a bit scared of nipple clamps, and they were definitely a gentle but pleasurable introduction. All you do is squeeze the bulb at the top, place the sucker over your nipple and then let go. The harder you squeeze, the more intense the suction will be. Now that I’ve tried more advanced suction toys, I can tell you that the suction isn’t as strong as an automatic pump, but you can still get a pretty strong suck going, especially if you line the rim of the sucker with a little saliva or water-based lube first. The feeling they create is wonderful — it’s like a mouth sucking, but more broad and more long-lasting. As someone who adores nipple play, they add a whole new level of arousal. There are only two small downsides that I discovered. The first is that I felt a bit silly wearing them, because they do have a slight clown-nose vibe. I tried to close my eyes and ignore that awkward feeling, especially because my partner didn’t mind at all! The second is that they can come unstuck if you brush them heavily enough, or if you’re moving around. This will be more likely if you don’t have them attached so strongly.

We’ve covered manual, gentle nipple suckers, and now we’re moving onto something a little (or a lot) more intense! The Swell Yeah Auto-Suction Nipple Pump is a powerful, rechargeable pump unit with two soft, flexible suckers attached for each nipple. Edie tested out this ingenious toy for Bedbible, and found that “using the Swell Yeah Nipple Pumps was so easy!“. All you need to do is turn on the pump and then place the cups over your nipples — then you can sit back and enjoy! Edie also discovered that adding a little lube to the cups before placing created the strongest seal. Most importantly, the suction it offers is certainly not weak! In our tester’s words: “It sucks HARD, it sucks intensely, it sucks intermittently and it feels SO GOOD!“. If you’re like both me and Edie and love the sensation of a partner sucking on your nips, then this is a wonderful recreation of that feeling. The one downside that Edie discovered was that the tubing length is a little limiting. You only have about 9 inches of length to span across to both nipples, so if you have larger breasts or particularly spaced-out nipples, this pump may not work out for you. If you’re in doubt, I highly recommend measuring yourself first before buying.

‘Just wait a second, Rachel…” I hear you saying, ‘These suckers look an awful lot like your Test Winner product, so why did you include them?’. A fair question. The biggest factor at play here is actually price! The Perfect Pair nipple suckers from Lovehoney are the cheapest option I’ve included in this review, and are actually cheaper than their counterparts from the Fifty Shades of Grey range. Edie was again our Bedbible tester for these little suckers, and found herself “pleasantly surprised” by them. She’d always wanted to try a pair of suckers like these, and concluded that they provided “the exact amount of extra stimulation I needed to make my O faster, deeper and more satisfying“. However, she did discover that she wasn’t a huge fan of just leaving them on. If you’re someone who enjoys varying levels of suction, you won’t get that from these suckers unless you do it yourself. You can gently pull on them without them popping off (if you’ve squeezed enough while putting them on), or you can repeatedly squeeze and release the bulb, which is a technique our tester employed herself.

For those looking for strong nipple suckers for intense sensations, or perhaps to incorporate into a BDSM play session, then I recommend giving these bad boys a go. This sucker set from DOMINIX Deluxe includes three hard plastic suction cups, two for the nipples and one for the clitoris, though they can actually be used all over the body. Sarah tested them out and called them “a simple pleasure that you never knew you needed“! They’re simple to use, since all you need to do is place them on your nipples and then twist the screw to increase the suction. But beware, this is some powerful suction! While it didn’t cause her pain, Sarah did find that “it was uncomfortable at first but after a couple of minutes, it felt pleasurable“. Sarah also loved that the cups were clear, as it allowed her and her partner to watch as the suction got more and more intense. This could be a great accessory to use as part of a larger scene, or if you’re playing with multiple people who love to look on while others experience intense pleasure!

The Doc Johnson Bloom is another toy that I have in my personal sex toy collection, and it’s another one I love. This automatic pump is designed to be used all over the body, and comes with four different-sizes cups that are easy to attach and detach. They have a wonderfully soft silicone rim that creates a comfortable seal with the body that can also be removed for easy cleaning. The suction this thing offers is very intense, even on lower settings. The smaller cup you go for, the more intense it can feel. It doesn’t have any in-built suction patterns, but you can use the easily accessible quick-release button to create your own, which I’ve done a lot. The other interesting feature of the Bloom is that it also vibrates! The vibrations are pleasantly rumbly and pretty strong, which is ideal for intense nipple stimulation and heightened arousal. I have to admit that my most favorite way to use this toy is on my clitoris, but the nipples enjoy some attention, too! The obvious downside, of course, is that you can only use it on one nipple at a time, but since the suction is so strong, I actually find that the effect lasts a long time on one nipple once I start on the other.
