Womanizer’s Pleasure Air™ Technology has taken the sex toy world by storm since its launch in 2014. Designed to stimulate the clitoris without desensitising it, using air pulses to create a unique suction like sensation, it is not hard to understand the toy’s mass appeal. (Left to right) The Womanizer Premium, Pro40 and Starlet Snow It almost pains me to say it but… I think it is. The Premium is an awesome piece of technology and has become my “ride-or-die” sex toy for solo masturbation. Many studies showthat half of all women rarely or never orgasm. When Lenke read the statistic, he was astonished -- and determined to do something about it. The Womanizer Premium 2 is a good-looking and well-designed toy. Its functions have been informed by a global testing panel, the MasturbaTEAM – a group of 10,000 users – and this human input shows in the ergonomic design, and the smooth, intuitive Autopilot and Smart Silence functions. It's a little pricey but if you're already accustomed to clitoral stimulators then this is a justifiable spend. For beginners and those dipping a toe, there are cheaper versions within the Womanizer stable, and outside of it, that would make a better starter toy.

It has a relatively long battery life stated at up to 2 hours. This was validated by some users who reported it lasts for 90-120 minutes on a full charge. I went through all the technical possibilities and soon thought: probably air pressure could work," Lenke said. See? When I was joking with my girlfriends about the Womanizer being a clit vacuum, I wasn’t completely joking. Let’s face it: Many people with vaginas can’t get off without clitoral stimulation. Sex feels good, but intercourse isn’t always great. The Womanizer bypasses this problem by focusing solely on the clitoris, and the effects are astounding. Reviewers commonly rated it highly and commended that it delivered pleasurable and enjoyable clitoral stimulations.As it needs to be held in place with precision, using it during intercourse proved challenging to many reviewers, contrary to the manufacturer's claim that "you can use the womanizer for yourself only or together with your partner(s)."

Also helping the industry and devices like the Womanizer is the fact that sex toys are now more regularly being referred to as sex tech devices, and their technological innovations are being lauded. And finally, sex tech companies could apply to exhibit on the CES show floor. The Lora DiCarlo saga made one thing clear: Even if sex toys are called sex tech devices and even if companies highlight their robotics and mechanics, they are still quite clearly tools to help women masturbate. And plenty of women want them. The Starlet is a modest offering, aimed at people who haven’t experienced this kind of technology before and want to try it out without spending a fortune ( Womanizer toys are not cheap). No, really: On top of that, I’ve found that using the Pro40 is sensitizing rather than de-sensitizing, making it easier for me to get off even when I’m not using the Womanizer. As someone who has worried about anorgasmia for most of their life, that’s been a hugely impactful experience.Availability: Both of these toys are available at Peepshow Toys, who kindly sent them in for review. (Use code “theNotice” for an extra 10% off your oder!) They’re also available at Shevibe! It comes with an extra larger nozzle for a more diffused, less precise stimulation for those who may not like a too concentrated, pinpoint stimulation. The only thing better than a new technology is a new technology that works really, really well for you–and these do, at least for me. The Womanizer Pro40 has become my new toy of choice for everything but partnered PIV (its size makes it quite cumbersome), and the toy itself is very well-made. The Premium 2 has 14 different intensity levels, an increase of two from its predecessor. The Autopilot function, which also featured in the Premium, has upped its game to become 2.0. This function sees the simulator guide you through different intensities on an orgasm 'journey', and the 2.0 version claims a smoother transition between the variations.

When Michael Lenke set out to battle inequality between men and women, he didn't travel far. He walked down a flight of stairs to his hobby cellar in Metten, Bavaria, in southern Germany, took an aquarium pump and a plastic hose and got to work. The inequality Lenke wanted to fix wasn't about money or leadership. It was about the female orgasm. This breakthrough technology does not numb the clitoris like how traditional vibrators sometimes could. An expert lauded, "Because the clitoris is never even once physically touched, it seems to be able to go on to have continuous orgasms." What makes the Womanizer Pro40 so great? Even though I’m violently opposed to Womanizer’s branding, my body adores the product. It’s so good that it’s changed how I want to rate a product’s battery life. In a post-Womanizer world, I’ve been measuring battery life in number of orgasms instead of number of hours. There were a minority of reviewers did not enjoy the sensation of the Womanizer Pro 40's Air Technology for various reasons. Among them, some found its suction underwhelming, whereas others found it too concentrated and overwhelming, even uncomfortable or painful. Pause in awe of a product that’ll make you orgasm in 60 seconds and leave your whole body twitching.)It offers a wide range of intensities from mild to strong to suit everyone's preference. An expert liked how she could use it to "start gently and build up to your climax." This most important of questions is deeply subjective but what we can tell you is that the Premium 2 has a comprehensive range of intensities, from mild to incredibly intense. The curved design makes it easy to navigate through intensities and the sensation of the pulsing air is gentle and satisfyingly intense. On first use it takes a little bit of time to find the sweet spot but this is a marathon, not a sprint and so allow plenty of time (and lube) to get accustomed with what will no doubt become a favourite go-to toy. Womanizer Premium 2 review:verdict It needs to be positioned precisely and thus can be difficult to hold in position. An expert elaborated, "You have to keep the Womanizer still, any moving around will remove the seal between your vulva and the head, killing off the sensation." trade show in Las Vegas, sex tech devices will be allowed to exhibit under the health and wellness category if they are " innovative and include new or emerging tech." This follows a 2019 controversy about what is allowed and what isn't.

Both the Satisfyer and the Womanizer that I tried were good, but only the Womanizer was great. If you can stretch your budget to make it work, I think the reliability and interchangeable heads of the Pro40 make it worthwhile. Wow Tech doesn't often exhibit at adult industry shows, said Denny Alexander, the company's spokesman. Instead, it targets affluent consumers at wellness festivals like Wanderlust, where people practice yoga, eat salad and meditate. Here, climaxing is considered part of a holistic lifestyle. I like that the controls are on the ‘inside’ of the toy, rather than the ‘outside’ like all other Womanizer models as I find using my thumb to operate the buttons more comfortable and intuitive. I prefer the Satisfyer’s look and branding, but let’s be honest: that kind of blatant plagiarism is just rude. It’s harmful to smaller makers and new creators, and it encourages distrust in an industry that I think could benefit from more collaboration. But at the same time, I appreciate the availability of air pressure toys at a lower price point, and while “Satisfyer” is still a pretty crap name, it’s not nearly as offensive as the “Womanizer.” A small percentage of owners experienced durability issues relating to its battery life and charge.

The Premium charges magnetically and is a fully sealed unit (unlike the Pro40 which has an exposable charging port) making cleaning hassle and stress free. The whole unit is coated in silicone and there are different sized silicone heads available to suit different anatomies.
