date 03/07/24: the Womanizer Premium has been replaced by the Womanizer Premium 2. Check out my review or buy it from the retailers listed at the end of this post. I’ve left this Womanizer Premium review up for information and because a lot of the points I’ve made here still apply to the new iteration of this product.
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Womanizer toy for so long. I missed the initial buzz as the first few Womanizer models were already old news by the time I started blogging. However, now that there are new models out, Lovehoney was kind enough to send me one to try out.
Womanizer was the first company to create clitoral suction toys of the kind that are now made by a whole host of manufacturers. Many sex toy experts hold them up as the original and best, while others say they’re overpriced and the more affordable equivalents do just as good a job.
With that said, let’s dive into the Womanizer Premium review.
Womanizer Premium: Important Info
The Womanizer Premium is the latest in Womanizer’s line of toys utilising something called “Pleasure Air Technology”. The toy’s nozzle creates a seal around the clitoris and the toy provides stimulation via rapid pulses of air.
The Womanizer Premium has a simple interface of 4 buttons. The bottom button just above the charging point switches the toy on and off, the one with a little wave pattern on it switches in and out of Auto Pilot mode, and the +/- buttons adjust the speeds. The buttons are easy to press and well positioned.
This toy is USB rechargeable, waterproof, and ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the user’s hand.
Womanizer Review: Premium Product, Premium Packaging… Premium Pricetag
The Womanizer Premium lives up to its name before you even take it out of the box. The packaging is elaborate and decorated in a style which makes me think of perfume or high-end make-up, with a clear section where you can see the toy. Included with the toy is the charging cable, a convenient storage bag, and two nozzles of different sizes (so you can swap them out depending on what suits your body, or switch them between partners for safer sex reasons.)
This product’s presentation screams “luxury” to me. Once I held it in my hand, the velvety soft premium silicone and subtle gold-coloured accents also added to the luxurious feel.
This product does, though, come with a premium price-tag. At the time of writing, it retails for £169.99 ($199.99 US). Do I think it’s worth it? Eh… maybe.
The Womanizer Premium a damn good product from a trusted company, and if you can drop this kind of money on a toy it’ll be an investment that will last you for years. On the other hand, if money is tighter you can forego some of the special features (more on that later) you can get the Classic model or a much cheaper suction toy without losing a tonne of functionality. This toy does have some additional features compared to cheaper models, but whether they’re “worth it” is a matter of personal choice.
Womanizer Premium Review: Special Features
The Womanizer Premium has three defining features which set it apart from the lower priced models and other brands’ suction toys:
- It boasts a massive 12 speed settings (the Womanizer Classic has only 8). The lowest setting is lower and the highest setting is higher than ever before.
- It has a truly fantastic feature known as Smart Silence. Smart Silence uses sensors to allow the toy to turn itself off automatically when it’s not in contact with the body and then back on again (at the same setting) when contact is reestablished. I’m obsessed with this feature, particularly for anyone who needs more discretion in their toy use.
- Finally, there’s the Auto Pilot mode. I actually hate this, because it’s basically a glorified pattern. However, though it’s not for me, I think some people will love it. In Auto Pilot ode, the intensity moves automatically between speeds (within a range of 4, which you can turn up or down). Personally, I want to be in control. It can ruin my chances of orgasm if the stimulation changes suddenly when I’m getting close. But this setting could be fun to utilise as part of an edging or orgasm control game, or to simulate someone else being in control.
How Does It Feel?
Short answer: fucking amazing.
Long answer: it feels like it’s caressing your clit with a fierce determination to rip an orgasm from you whether you want it to or not, and when it does it’s the kind of orgasm that drenches the sheets and wakes the neighbours.
…At least that was my experience.
It took me a while to come around to suction toys, but now I’ve tried a fair few and the good ones are really good. The differences between models gets more discernible the more I try. Weirdly, I’d describe this one as gentler than some others, even at the higher settings. I don’t mean lower powered – it packs a punch on the higher settings – but the overall effect is somehow smoother. If you’ve got a super sensitive clit or have found other suction toys too intense or harsh for you, the Womanizer Premium on the lower settings might be the perfect choice.
Anything I Didn’t Love?
Well, that stupid Auto Pilot setting, but it’s easy to forget that exists. The Womanizer Premium is also not the quietest, even when the toy is pressed against a body. For reference, my partner could hear it in the next room quite clearly even with the door closed.
Otherwise, I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t enjoy about this toy.
Womanizer Premium Review: Verdict
If you can afford to drop close to £200 on a toy and want something really luxurious that will last you for many years, I can’t recommend the Womanizer Premium enough.
