Lovers may come and go, but you can always count on trusty clitoral vibrators and stimulators to get you off whenever you’d like. Yes, there are tons of sex toys made for G-spot stimulation like rabbit vibrators and the classic silicone dildo. But for people who can only (or simply prefer to) orgasm through clitoral stimulation and for those in search of sex toys that offer a sensation akin to oral sex, there are more options than ever.

According to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, just 18 percent of women participating reported climaxing during penetrative sex alone. Meanwhile, 36 percent said that, while they can orgasm from penetrative sex, their orgasms felt way better when their clit is stimulated during it. This study isn't the only thing backing up the orgasmic power of the clit: New York City-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Monica Grover, MD says that the clitoris is actually the main source of pleasure for those with vulvas.

Though most people refer to the bean-shaped area at the upper crest of the vulva as the clitoris, Dr. Grover notes that it's actually just the beginning of this sensitive zone. "The external clitoris is located above the urethra and where the bilateral inner labia meet," says Dr. Grover. "The internal part of the clitoris surrounds the vaginal canal through the corpora cavernosa (the same erectile tissue that forms a penis)." She adds that the clit is similar to a penis in terms of sensitivity and has about 8,000 sensory nerve endings. "This is why it is so responsive to stimulation," she says.

There are thousands of vibrators, stimulators, and clit-suction sex toys on the market, so how do you figure out which one is prime for clit stimulation? Well, we've got some good news for you: most vibes, even the insertable ones, can actually be used on your clit. If you enjoy cunnilingus, grab an air-pulsating vibrator, which mimics the feel of sucking on your clitoral hood. Or, you can stick to classic sonic vibrations with a wand or bullet vibrator. You can even add penetration into the mix by grabbing a rabbit vibrator if you'd like. Whatever you go for, just make sure it has a couple of patterns and intensity options to flip through. Believe us, once you find the combination(s) that fit your sexual preferences, you'll be thankful for all the oh-mazing possibilities.

This is one of the most pleasurable areas of the body, so make the most of it with a new clit-focused toy. Below, take a look at some of the best clitoral stimulators and vibrators that'll buzz, rumble, and suck to your liking.
