Contactless stimulators are toys that stimulate the clitoris without mechanical pressure or vibration. They have transformed the world of pleasure by using pulsed-air technology to generate vibratory waves described as "contactless", creating incredible sensations that can lead to orgasm.  Read less

What’s it for?

To enjoy yourself, pure and simple! Reviews of contactless stimulators are, for the most part, absolutely glowing. For most people who use them, orgasm comes in just a few minutes and is described as ‘very intense’. Another advantage is that they make it easy to have orgasms one after another (according to a 2019 survey, 73% of Womanizer users have multiple orgasms).

But what does ‘contactless’ actually mean?

‘Contactless’ doesn’t mean holding the toy 20 cm away and waiting for something to happen – that would be magic. What contactless stimulators do have in common is a hollow tip. It sits around the external part of the clitoris without touching it directly. The edges of the tip rest against the clitoral hood and labia, while the head of the clitoris stays in the centre, with no direct contact. And that changes everything.

Why does it work?

But why is contactless stimulation so appealing? Let’s start with the basics: usually, when we stimulate the head of the clitoris – whether with a clitoral pebble, our fingers or a vibrating toy – we touch it directly. The sensory receptors in the clitoris then receive two signals at once: pleasure, and contact and friction. These two signals are linked and build and build in intensity until pleasure takes over and orgasm occurs. Afterwards, the clitoris becomes too sensitive to touch again: this is known as the refractory period. This period is caused by the sensory receptors becoming overloaded through friction.

By removing direct contact – and therefore friction – the clitoris’s sensory receptors receive only the pleasure signal. Pleasure builds faster, and the refractory period becomes almost non-existent: pure bliss.

What are the differences?

Several brands (Womanizer, Love and Care, Lelo, Satisfyer) have created pulsed-air toys. How do you choose? Although the principle behind the stimulation is the same across these brands, there are some important differences:

  • the budget: prices for a clitoral stimulator vary considerably. Bear in mind that, as with all toys, the finish, motor power and quality of the technology won’t be the same in a €20 toy as in a €189 luxury stimulator.
  • the size of the tip: it needs to fit comfortably around the clitoris, so size matters. Depending on your anatomy, choose a narrower or wider tip.
  • the technology used: some stimulators, such as Womanizer and Wanda, use pulsed air for intense yet very gentle stimulation. Others, such as Lelo, use sonic waves that stimulate the clitoris very intensely.
