Why Yes, That Is Our Fave Vibrator in Katy Perry’s Music Video

This week Katy Perry released the music video for her her new single, “Woman’s World,” and in it, our eagle eyes spotted one of our favorite vibrators: the Womanizer Premium 2. The focus of the video is female empowerment (“It’s a women’s world and you’re so lucky to be livin’ in it,” Perry chants) and the various way this strength shows up. The hot pink Womanizer sex toy first appears in Perry’s hand while she’s rocking a sparkly stars-and-stripes bikini and singing to camera. Then there’s a shot of her backup dancer circling her, each extending a Womanizer Premium 2 to her. Its a bold visual centering of individual sexual pleasure, and we love to see it.

Perry could’ve chosen any vibrator, of course, but the Womanizer brand’s toys are as recognizable today as the rabbit vibrator was in the early aughts. As Glamour’s shopping team, we’ve covered sex toys for years, and this brand (and this model in particular) comes up again and again on our lists of the best sex toys.

A bit of background: Anytime you spot a sex toy with a little hooded mouth, there’s a big chance it’s one of Womanizer’s (or inspired by it). The brand is so well-known that we actually reached out to sex experts to do a deeper dive into how Womanizer’s vibrator suction technology works. Most vibes (such as bullet vibrators and wand vibrators) have rumbly motors that power the toy to vibrate against the clit and other erogenous zones—which can feel great, but can tire out the clit over time.

Womanizer’s suction toys, however, employ air waves instead. That little circular mouth on its body surrounds the clit and pulses pinpointed air to build sensation externally—without ever actually touching it. The big advantage of this touchless Pleasure Air technology (as its named) is that your clit won’t wear out the same way it might with aggressive vibration. “The Womanizer’s Pleasure Air Technology remains, to this day, my favorite suggestion for people who have had difficulty reaching orgasm with standard vibrators as well as for those with sensitive clitorises,” Micki Allen, an advanced sexual health and pleasure educator, previously told Glamour.

Different clit suckers from the brand come in many sizes, intensities, and with specialized features. The Womanizer Starlet, for example, is petite and discreet enough for travel. Meanwhile, the Womanizer Duo 2 has a secondary arm that can be slipped inside for some simultaneous G-spot action. The Womanizer Premium 2 (from the video) has 14 levels of intensity that let you ramp up from gentle to knee-shaking sensations that spread across the nerve endings in the clit. It has an autopilot feature that alternates between varying intensities to keep you guessing. It can be used during foreplay and partnered, teasing the nipples or head of the penis, and is totally waterproof if you want to take it into the shower.
