The key to suck-sess starts with a pussy pump

From buzzy little bullets to rabbit vibrators and magic wands, most women will freely admit they own at least one sex toy these days. But just when you thought you'd seen it all, in struts the pussy pump and leaves us all gasping for air.

If you're new to the concept, a pussy pump (also known as a vagina or clit pump) has been gathering pace in underground kink circles for some time, and now we all want a slice of the pie.

To help you get to grips with pumping your bits we've outlined how to use one, the benefits of engorging your labia and the best pussy pumps to buy now.

Here are the best pussy pumps at a glance, keep scrolling for the full list.

If you have yet to experiment with a pussy pump, the concept is straightforward enough. 'In short, it’s the female-anatomy version of the more famous penis pump,' explains Tera Masters, MD at sexual wellness brand Sextoys.co.uk. 'They’re designed to create a vacuum around your vulva for an intense feeling of suction.'

That said, a pussy pump is capable of so much more than merely sucking your vulva. The vacuum sensation can engorge the whole area, quickly increasing blood flow to your clitoris and labia.

This leads to enhanced sensation that can make all sexual contact in the aftermath feel incredible. And as we all know, increased sensitivity often leads to more powerful orgasms. Sign us up.

While every pussy pump differs slightly in design and efficacy, the suction element is the aim of the game. 'The cup of the pump is placed over the clitoris or vulva to create an airtight seal,' explains Masters. 'Then the air is pumped out, either by hand or by a small electric pump.'

The vacuum effect created inside the cup causes the vulval area to expand. 'The result is that blood vessels enlarge, blood flow increases, and the nerve endings are brought closer to the surface of your skin,' she explains. 'This all makes you more sensitive to intimate contact, pleasure is more… pleasurable. And that’s just a side-effect,' adds Masters. 'Most people who use pussy pumps do so for that suction feeling alone.'

If you're anxious about the idea of enlarging your labia, it's only temporary. 'The effect only lasts for as long as the vacuum is maintained,' explains Masters. 'As soon as you release the pressure valve, everything quickly goes back to normal after a few seconds, and the long-term effects are negligible. That’s what makes them so good for intimate pleasure: they’re completely temporary.'

While pussy pumps are certainly growing in popularity, the results aren't as immediate as a classic vibrator, but this is arguably half the fun.

'Many people report the vacuum pressure itself being enough to bring them to orgasm,' says Masters. 'But a pump alone doesn't always bring orgasm. That’s why all but the most basic designs vibrate.'

'The combination of suction and vibrations is sexual Shangri-La, especially if you’ve never experienced these sensations before,' she adds.

Getting to grips with pussy pumping can take a bit of practice, so follow our tips and ease yourself in. And remember, if it feels at all uncomfortable then stop immediately and adjust the pressure.

From vibrating clit suckers to handheld vagina pumps, we've outlined the best pussy pumps on the market...

Cult US brand Doc Johnson have been making sex toys since the seventies, so the team knows a thing or two about female pleasure. This pussy pump will not disappoint. To get started, cup your entire labia area with the hot pink fascia, squeeze the bulb gently, and enjoy the sensation. The vacuum seal will slowly start to engorge the entire area and increase sensitivity tenfold in the process. The more you pump, the more engorged your vulva will be. Bingo.

Intrigued by the concept of pumping your pussy but put off by all the bells and whistles? If you're prefer to keep things simple then this dinky little hand pump is a great place to start. Simply place the suction cup around your clit, switch it on and let the vacuum sensations get to work. The gentle fronds will tickle and tease you while the suction cup will make the entire area feel extra sensitive. And when you're ready to surrender, it vibrates too! And with multiple settings to choose from, orgasmic bliss is as good as guaranteed.

Admittedly this vagina pump from Lovehoney does look a bit like an oxygen mask on an aeroplane. But once you've overcome your fear of flying and surrendered to the sexy cabin crew, you are in for a treat. The chamber is large enough to cover your entire labia and clitoris, and the transparent cup means you (or your voyeuristic partner) get to enjoy watching your vulva swell up. Best of all it comes with a secondary release valve, which makes it super easy to remove if you're keen to quickly segue to sexy time.

If you enjoy the enhanced sensation of vacuum suction but it leaves you in a heightened state of arousal that needs urgent resolution, we have found the solution to your orgasmic dreams. This clever sex toy duo has successfully combined a pussy pump with a vibrating egg to get you off, and we are here for it. Simply pump until everything feels super-sensitive, and switch to vibrate mode for the most all-encompassing orgasm of your life. This one feels quite powerful so go easy if you're new to pumping.

If you're less concerned with vag-pumping but clitoral targeted pleasure is your bag, you'll love this classic clit pump from UK sex toy connoisseurs Ricky. Simple slip the cup over your sweet spot, pump the bulb and enjoy the vacuum sucking sensation. And once you're swollen and feeling extra sensitive, if you need a touch more power to bring you to orgasm, we can't recommend the brand's Ultimate Wand Massage Vibrator enough.

Hands up who didn't leave the house for a year when they first discovered Rampant Rabbit vibes? If clit-tingling bunny ears always get you off but you're ready to take your pleasure up a notch, this bonkers sex toy is about to raise the bar. Slip the cup over your entire labia area (alongside plenty of slippery lube) and gently pump the handle until you're fit to explode. And just when you think you can't take another second, switch on the vibrating rabbit head and let the party commence.

Are you a nipple tingler, a clit tickler, a pussy pumper, or completely new to all of this and just down for a good time? If you just can't decide what gets you off but you're keen to experiment, then this is the gadget for you. We love the four interchangeable suction cups that can be aimed wherever you fancy, and the seven vibration functions are an added bonus. Best of all thanks to well-placed silicone seals, none of the suction cups lose grip while you're writhing around in ecstasy. Suck it and see baby.

For such a small and unassuming little sex toy, this nipple and clit pump from Bondara packs quite a punch. Use the handheld device to pump anywhere and everywhere that feels good, or switch on the vibration mode for more intense stimulation. Better yet, you can use it in the shower too. Who needs human lips when you can suck yourself to ecstasy?

One for experienced pumpers who can take a bit of pressure, this professional grade sex toy is a serious piece of kit. Place the cup over your most sensitive bits (alongside lashings of lube) use the handheld device to start pumping and watch your pussy expand before your eyes. You can also remove the tube and leave the cup on briefly without losing pressure, which lends itself well to partnered sex. Or use the air release valve to ease gently off once you're finished.

Forget ChatGPT, this is the only AI you need in your life right now. With the ability to lick, suck and vibrate in one handheld device, this 3-in-1 sex toy surpasses human touch. Simply place the cup around your clit, experiment with the three suction modes until you're gloriously engorged, then switch to lick mode. And if you're a fan of insertion, flip it round and slip the G-spot probe inside to bing you to a shuddering blended orgasm. Our only complaint? It can't bring you a cuppa afterwards (yet).

RSI sufferers, piano players and multitaskers will appreciate the auto-suction pussy pump that sucks your labia to perfection without you having to do a god damn thing. Simply apply a few pea-sized blobs of lube, place the cup around your vulval area, switch it on and let the auto suction get to work. But be warned, it's easy to get carried away with this one so start slowly and ease yourself in.

This clit massaging pussy pump looks like a cross between an alien and a medical device, and the kinksters on the team are totally here for it. But looks can be deceiving, and once you've got your hands on this jelly-like device we think you'll be delighted. Thanks to its soft moulded cup and gentle suction it's the closest thing we've tried to oral sex, plus the addition of vibrations is just otherworldly. Get involved.

Once you've recovered from the fact that this pump set looks a lot like a milking machine, we think you'll enjoy the ride. Yes it sucks your clit and tits at the same time. But hey, it feels delicious, so close your eyes, enjoy the sensations and moo at the moon baby.
