It’s been more than two years since I reviewed the Womanizer Next, the next-generation iteration of the bestselling clitoral suction toy. It’s still one of the suction toys I reach for most often and recommend to my readers and workshop participants. Given its success, I’m not surprised to find there’s a new, smaller and travel-friendly version now out. I received the Womanizer Next Liberty to test and review.

What is the Womanizer Next Liberty?

The original Womanizer Liberty was a smaller, portable version of Womanizer’s classic clitoral stimulator. The Next Liberty, then, is the compact and portable answer to the Womanizer Next.

This petite clitoral suction toy measures just 4.7″ in length and comes with a magnetic cap. This not only ensures discretion and prevents it from accidentally turning on in your bag, but also helps to keep the toy clean and hygienic.

The handle and case are made of ABS plastic, while the nozzle and main body are body-safe silicone. It is available in pink, blue and red, or a dark wine shade called “Bordeaux.” I received the blue and red version.

The Womanizer Next Liberty is IPX7 waterproof and USB-C rechargeable. The charging port has a little silicone cover, so just make sure this is closed before you use the toy in the bath or shower. A full charge takes around 90 minutes and gives you 120 minutes of runtime.

Womanizer Next Liberty Review: What I Liked

I absolutely love the “Next” generation 3D version of Womanizer’s patented Pleasure Air Technology. The so-called Dynamic Dimension Drive (which sounds like something out of a car ad)allows you to control not only the speed and intensity, but also the “depth” of the suction. There are 8 speeds and 3 levels of suction depth to choose from.

A setting that feels kinda “meh” on a shallow suction setting is absolutely transformed when I shift it to the deep suction. This extra level of adjustment also offers more flexibility to suit different bodies and different levels of sensitivity (as our bodies can change day to day.)

Womanizer did this “Pleasure Air” thing first, and honestly I still think they do it best. The Next Liberty’s sensation is smooth, rhythmic, and intense. Thanks to its effectiveness, small size, and good battery life, I’ve started keeping this one close to my bed alongside my favourite bullet vibrator.

A few other things I like about this toy:

• Its small size means it fits comfortably in my hand, even for longer sessions.
• The shape of the body makes it easy to angle and position.
• Unlike many of the suction toys I’ve tried, the nozzle opening is actually big enough to completely fit over my external clitoral glans.
• The three buttons are easy to press, satisfyingly clicky, and easy to differentiate from one another by feel without needing to pause to look.
• DUAL-DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS! Yes, there are both + and – speed buttons, and yes, it really does make that much of a difference.
• The nozzle is removable, which makes it a breeze to clean.

Downsides and Things to Be Aware Of

As is so often the case: this toy is great. It’s the marketing fluff that’s pissing me off. The new 3D version of Pleasure Air is awesome, and I do love the enhanced smoothness of the suction. But the marketing copy describes this as an “oral-like rhythm,” which is going to lead those not in the know to expect a toy that feels like receiving cunnilingus.

It doesn’t. There’s no such thing (yet.) Sorry.

A couple of other things to be aware of:

• Unlike the Womanizer Next and various other iterations, the Next Liberty does not the have Smart Silence feature. This function, which switches the motor off automatically when the toy isn’t in direct contact with the body, isn’t something I personally care about much but it may matter more to you.
• It also doesn’t have the Autopilot mode or Afterglow features the Womanizer Next boasts. Again, these are add-ons and I don’t think they materially change all that much about the toy for most people, but it’s something to consider if you care about these features.
• It is not, despite what the ad copy claims, “whisper quiet.” It’s not horribly loud, but if you want a near-silent toy, this isn’t it.

Womanizer Next Liberty: Verdict

This toy is so good!

I often roll my eyes at new versions of existing toys. Many times, the manufacturer barely changes anything and is simply trying to cash in by getting existing customers to buy again. However, Womanizer’s “Next” range is a truly worthy next-generation addition. The new motor and depth control features make a huge difference.

I also prefer the shape and size of this one over the earlier Liberty iterations.

The Womanizer Next Liberty retails for $129/£119.99 and is available from Lovehoney UK, Lovehoney US, Shevibe, or directly from Womanizer Europe or North America.
