Clitoral suction stimulators — including the LELO SONA 2 Cruise — have been revolutionising the sex tech game for a while. The class of external sex toys use a combination of contactless massage and air pulsations that are supposed to feel somewhat like oral sex. But if you asked me what I really thought of LELO’s best-selling teaser, I’d say it’s possibly the best vibrator I’ve ever used.
Plus, savvy shoppers — otherwise known as Amazon Prime members — can bag an extra 28% off right now, thanks to the return of the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale. And while we don’t want to encourage unconsidered impulse buys, we do have a duty to mention that the discount is only available until midnight TONIGHT.
A sleek “sonic massager ” fitted with 12 different vibration modes and intensity settings – as well as a head which looks like a little mouth that you place directly over your clitoris – it does all the hard work for you. Unlike traditional vibes, which use vibration to stimulate your sensitive spots, sonic vibrators instead direct contactless airwaves at your clitoris to stimulate more of it than you probably thought possible.
Sure, I’d tried vibrators like this before but, damn. Just damn. The sonic vibrator from the Swedish pleasure provider known as LELO has totally revolutionised my orgasm.
After more sex toy content? Head this way for bullet vibrators and this way for clitoral vibrators. We’ve also got quiet vibrators, remote control vibrators, lube, rabbit vibrators, wand vibrators and dildos. Oh, and the best sex toys for men and the best sex toys for couples. Woah.
LELO SONA 2 Cruise, at a glance:
LELO SONA 2 Cruise: One sexual wellness writer’s review.
Sonic sex toys I’ve tried before (like the Womanizer and the Satisfyer) vibrate very softly because their main function is suction — it feels like they’re reaching deep within your core, pulling an orgasm out of you. The LELO SONA 2 Cruise feels more like a vibrator, with extremely powerful vibrations on the surface of the clitoris. This surprised me since the press release said it “stimulates the entire clitoris — even the parts you don’t see — with an eager, fluttering sonic hum, for a different kind of orgasm produced by the gentle deep-tissue massage of sonic waves.” That wasn’t my experience: the vibration felt very concentrated on the head.
Still, the sonic vibration action was good. It created a prolonged climax after a sensual buildup, the kind of luxuriously drawn-out orgasm that still has you feeling tingly minutes later. While its competitors aim to get women off quickly — and do a damn good job at it — the LELO SONA 2 Cruise aims for more sustained pleasure. And it succeeds too: My orgasms from this one take more like four or five minutes, rather than two or three, but they follow a very distinctive arc. Around a minute or two before climax, my vagina starts having singular contractions spaced a few seconds apart, each of which feels like its own mini orgasm. I’d describe the process as more of a hill than a mountain with a sharp peak.
