Nipple toys give much-needed love to some of your body’s most sensitive erogenous zones—and there are so many options to explore along the way. Some people can even experience a nipple orgasm (a.k.a. a nipplegasm) through nipple stimulation alone. “All orgasms happen in the brain, so when your nipples get aroused, it sends a message to your genital sensory cortex—the same place genital orgasms happen in the brain,” says Rachel Wright, LMFT, licensed psychotherapist and sex educator for Zumio. “And even if you can’t achieve orgasm from nipple stimulation alone, it will most likely enhance your orgasms.”

Here’s everything you need to know about nipple toys and massagers, plus tested and reviewed options to try right now, whether you’re enjoying some solo play or looking for a new sex toy for couples.

Best Overall: CalExotics Nipplettes

These rechargeable nipple clamps not only provide a pinching motion with 12 different vibration modes, but they’re easy to adjust and are made with soft material—ideal for those who want to ease in slowly. “Use these if you want to feel the intense sensation of vibration, then you can really see if it may get you to orgasm,” says Marla Renee Stewart, MA, certified sex educator at Lovers. “These are top-notch, they’re adjustable and have a travel lock so that there’s no unwanted vibration.”

Type: Vibrating clampsMaterial: ABS plastic, siliconeWaterproof: YesPros: Waterproof design, rechargeable batteries, strong vibrationsCons: Might not stay attached during useReview: “They’re small, pretty quiet, strong, and easy to use. They feel amazing and anyone who enjoys any kind of nipple play would probably find these amazing. My one complaint is that the clamps themselves aren’t very strong and I can barely get them to hang on before I turn them on. Once they’re on they slip off in seconds due to the vibration. The reason I still give this such a high rating is because this is easily remedied with some duct tape. Just clamp them on and tape them down and you’re in for a fun time!”—Quinn, reviewer at SheVibe2/19

Best Value: Sex and Mischief Feathered Nipple Clamps

If you want to experience the sensation of nipple pinching, these are a good place to start, since you can adjust the rubber-tipped clamps for a harder or gentler squeeze by twisting the screw. “You can experiment with the pressure to see if squeezing is something that you can get down with or that you would like your lover to do,” Stewart says. Plus, the feathers give these adjustable nipple clamps a fun, decorative touch.

Type: Nipple clampsMaterial: Nickel-free metal, rubberWaterproof: YesPros: Adjustable clamps, sexy feathersCons: Rubber tips might fall offReview: “True story: I believe I was a burlesque dancer in a former life. Although I’m just basing this on my affinity for feathers and pasties, either way, these beautiful nipple clamps fit the bill for me then and now.” —Ioria, Barcelona-based tattoo artist3/19

Most Discreet: We-Vibe Tango X

A toy need not be designed specifically for nipple stimulation in order to work on your nipples—any good vibe will do. “Clitoral vibrators with tapered tips and rumbly deeper vibes, like the We-Vibe Tango X, are great for playing around and pressing against the nipples,” according to sexologist Jess O’Reilly, PhD, host of the podcast Sex With Dr. Jess. Plus, you can use the little bullet to tease your nipples, then move it down as you get more turned on.

Type: Bullet vibratorMaterial: Body-safe silicone, ABS plasticWaterproof: YesPros: 2-hour battery life, rechargeable battery, quiet motor, intense vibrationsCons: PriceyReview: “Honestly, I use this bullet vibrator everywhere. Fully charged, it lasts a really, sometimes exhausting (in a good way) long time, so it’s been all over my body—(totes amazing clit stimulator). But aside from my clit, my nipples are its biggest fans.”—Amanda Chatel, Glamour writer and sex toy reviewerSave on the best nipple stimulators with these We-Vibe promo codes.

Best for Beginners: CalExotics Advanced Nipple Suckers

Those who like their nipples sucked on—or want to figure out if they do—may enjoy these flexible teasers, which create a vacuum-like nipple suction effect. “They create a very strong sucking sensation, and if this arouses you, blood will increase to your chest or breasts,” Stewart says. This blood flow may increase sensitivity, but don’t leave them (or any nipple pump) on for more than 20 minutes, as this could cause pain, bruising, chafing, or overstimulation.

Type: Nipple suckersMaterial: PVCWaterproof: YesPros: Adjustable sensation, easy to useCons: Might be too largeReview: “The edge that goes against your skin is smooth, doesn’t hurt, and feels great against your body. The bulb is soft enough to make it easy to dose how much suction you want to apply. Using them is extremely easy. Put a drop or two of water-based lubricant on the inside, press the bulb, place it on your nipples, and release the bulb. You pressed too much? Take them off and put them on again, this time pressing with less vigor. Easy as that. It’s easy to use and, let’s say it, looks good.”—Jake the Snake, reviewer at Amazon5/19

Best for Experts: Sex and Mischief Chained Nipple Clamps

If you’re interested in exploring the line between pleasure and pain, the simultaneous pulling and pinching sensations these nipple clips provide may interest you. “What’s great about these is that if you don’t have a lover at the moment, you can use the chain to pull them yourself,” Stewart says.

Type: Nipple clampsMaterial: Nickel-free metal, rubberWaterproof: YesPros: Sexy chain, adjustable clampsCons: Rubber tips might fall offReview: “You really have to play with them for a bit if it’s your first time (like mine was). They were amazing once I got them to the pressure I wanted, and they really hold on. I have medium-sized nipples and they were wonderful! For the price and the fun, I think they are perfect for beginners or those with some experience.” —Grecia A., reviewer at Lovers6/19

Best Vibrating Suction Toy: Womanizer Starlet

Whenever you manage to find a Womanizer that doesn’t break the bank, it is practically your moral duty to purchase it ASAP—suction toys cost a pretty penny, after all! With the ability to mimic the feeling of oral sex (and maybe even out-oral even the best of them), this little gadget is equally at home on your nipples, as it is on your clit. Now you can enjoy the sweet puckering suckage of a mouth even when you’re rolling solo. Best part? Womanizer Starlet won’t be leaving behind any hickies, so go buck wild and let it suck you from head to toe.

Type: Suction toyMaterial: Body-safe silicone, ABS plasticWaterproof: YesPros: Versatile design, waterproof, powerfulCons: Runs for only 30 minutes when fully chargedReview: “As much as I love Starlet between my legs, cozying up to my clitoris, when I’m using a dildo or vibrator in my vulva region, I prefer it on my nipples. It just coos and sucks the same way my partner does—but doesn’t ask every two minutes, ‘you like that?’ which is a huge bonus for me.”—A.C.7/19

Best for Kink Play: CalExotics Weighted Nipple Presses

Looking to explore the fetish side of nipple play? These adjustable clamps are weighted, letting you navigate your own preference between pleasure and pain. Plus, their sensual-meets-industrial look is perfect for BDSM, and their ultra-adjustable screws are covered to keep things from getting too sharp or chilly.

Type: Nipple pressesMaterial: Nickel-free metalWaterproof: YesPros: Interesting design, optional weight for extra sensation
Cons: Tough to put in place
Review: “Just going to throw this out there: I love weighted everything. Butt plugs, a heavy penis in my mouth, nipples weighted down—it’s a requirement for me to get off and this heaviness is everything I need in nipple stimulators.”—Matteo, Barcelona-based bartenderSave on the best nipple stimulators with these Lovehoney promo codes.

Best Suction Cup: Angel Kiss Twist-Up Nipple Cup

These nipple correction cups were designed to pull the nipples outward for more convenient breastfeeding, almost like breast pumps. But they serve a dual purpose: The suction can not only provide pleasure but also bring blood flow to your nipples for heightened sensitivity. “Their ease of use and success in pumping the nipples makes them perfect for nipple play,” Sommer explains. “I especially love them because of the silent operation and ease of customizing the suction so it’s just right for you.”

Type: Nipple cupsMaterial: PlasticWaterproof: YesPros: Customizable suction, heightened nipple sensitivityCons: Can cause damage if left on too longReview: “Really good and worth your money—the suction is amazing. Can even be used on places like your clit as long as you are careful. Just really good overall.” —Sam G., reviewer at Amazon9/19

Most Versatile: Satisfyer Endless Love

The pinched shape of this clit vibrator also happens to be perfect for nipple play. It’s got three separate motors with 10 vibration settings each, allowing you to tailor your experience to your needs—and with at least 14 different ways to use it solo and with a partner, it’s guaranteed to turn up the heat.

Type: Vibrating clampMaterial: Body-safe siliconeWaterproof: YesPros: Rechargeable battery, versatile designCons: Doesn’t come in a set of twoReview: “When I first got this, I wasn’t sure what to do with it! Clit, vulva, penis, nips—what?!? Then I realized it was for all the things and I’ve never doubted its importance in the world since.” —Suzanne, NYC-based PR rep10/19

Best App-Controlled: Lovense Gemini App Controlled Adjustable Vibrating Nipple Clamps

If pretty much every other sex toy on the market has app compatibility, it only makes sense that nipple stimulators would too. Granted, they are few and far between, but this one from Lovense was worth the wait. Having the ability to be completely hands-free either alone or during partnered play, if you’re a nipple stimulation aficionado, you really don’t need to look any further. Intense or low-key pleasure is just a few buttons away.

Type: Vibrating clampMaterial: Body-safe siliconeWaterproof: SplashproofPros: App-controlled, 10 vibration modesCons: Not completely waterproofReview: “When I found out that app-controlled nipple vibes were a thing with this, I immediately ordered it. It’s great and does the job, but my only complaint is with one swift pull and goodbye clamps.”—Sarah, NYC-based editor
