Womanizer Premium 2 Review: The “Queen of Clit Suckers” Earned Her Crown — But She’s Not Perfect

After testing 25 air-pulse vibrators side by side for three months, measuring airflow, pulse frequency, nozzle geometry, and — yes — orgasm quality, here’s my brutally honest verdict on the toy that beat them all.

Let me start with a confession.

The first time I used the Womanizer Premium 2, I came in 27 seconds. No foreplay. No warmup. No “getting in the mood.” I pressed the power button, placed it on my clit at intensity level 3, and my thighs clenched so hard I nearly launched myself off the bed.

I lay there afterward staring at the ceiling, sheet bunched in one fist, thinking: “Well. That was rude.”

Rude because it was over so fast. Rude because it felt deeper and more consuming than anything I’d expected. And rude because after five years of testing clit suckers — after burning through 25 models, building spreadsheets of airflow data, and measuring nozzle depths with calipers like some kind of pleasure engineer — this $199 pink torpedo just waltzed in and made the whole process feel obvious.

Here’s the thing, though: this isn’t a love letter. I’m not going to tell you this toy will save your marriage, cure your insomnia, or replace the need for human connection. (One Amazon reviewer actually expected it to save her marriage. Ma’am. It’s a vibrator, not couples therapy.) What I am going to tell you is exactly how the Womanizer Premium 2 translates into sensation on your body, who it’s built for, who it will frustrate, and whether that price tag is justified — or highway robbery.

Because here’s what I’ve learned after years of doing this: the “best” clit sucker doesn’t exist. The best clit sucker for your body absolutely does. And after all my testing, the Premium 2 is the one most likely to be that toy for the widest range of people.

Let me show you why — and where it stumbles.

In one sentence: The Womanizer Premium 2 is the most technically balanced air-pulse vibrator I’ve tested — the only model that maintains deep, pleasurable ~100Hz pulsations even at its highest intensity instead of buzzing into numbness — and it delivers fast, repeatable, body-shaking orgasms for the widest range of clitoral sensitivities.

Who it’s for: Anyone with a clitoris who wants touchless stimulation that feels like the world’s most dedicated mouth — whether you’re a first-timer curious about air-pulse technology or a seasoned toy collector seeking the best-engineered option available.

Who it’s NOT for: People who need the absolute gentlest start (the Womanizer Next starts softer), people on a tight budget (the Satisfyer Curvy 3+ performs admirably at a third of the price), or anyone who specifically wants a toy designed for seamless use during penetrative sex (the We-Vibe Melt 2’s flatter profile works better between bodies).

What Even Is an Air-Pulse Toy? (And Why Should You Care?)

If you’ve never used one of these, let me translate the marketing jargon into what your nerve endings will actually experience.

Air-pulse technology — which Womanizer invented and patented back around 2014 — creates rapid bursts of air inside a small nozzle that surrounds your clitoris. It doesn’t touch your clit directly. Instead, it pulses air against and around it, creating a sucking-and-tapping sensation that stimulates not just the visible glans, but the deeper internal structures of the clitoral complex.

Think of it this way: a traditional vibrator buzzes against the surface. An air-pulse toy reaches beneath the surface.

The result? Orgasms that don’t just ripple across your skin — they detonate from the inside out. That’s not hyperbole. The physics actually explain it: lower-frequency pulsations (the kind the Premium 2 excels at) penetrate deeper into tissue because your skin’s nerve receptors have more time to fully fire between each pulse. Higher frequencies? They flutter against the surface and your nerves adapt — which is why some toys feel intense for 30 seconds and then numb.

The Premium 2 sits in the sweet spot. And that’s what makes it special.

Design & First Impressions: Unboxing a $199 Orgasm

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: yes, it looks like a fancy electric toothbrush had a baby with a luxury vibrator. And yes, the name “Womanizer” still makes me cringe every time I say it out loud. (Womanizer, if you’re reading this: please. It’s 2024. People of all genders use your products. The name is unnecessarily gendered and carries some… unfortunate connotations. End rant.)

Name aside, the unboxing experience is genuinely lovely. The packaging feels gift-worthy — a pink box with a clear window, fold-out panels with product info, and everything nestled inside like jewellery. You get:

  • The Premium 2 itself
  • A medium-sized silicone nozzle (pre-attached)
  • A small-sized silicone nozzle (in a separate pouch)
  • USB magnetic charging cable
  • Cotton fabric drawstring storage pouch
  • Instruction manual

The toy itself feels expensive in your hand. At 141 grams, it has a satisfying weight without being fatiguing. The silicone coating is impossibly smooth — that velvety, skin-temperature softness that makes cheap toys feel like plastic by comparison. The Raspberry colour I tested is this gorgeous retro pink with subtle gold accents that say “I’m a luxury item” without screaming it.

The four-button layout is intuitive once you learn it:

  • Bottom button (below gold band): Power on/off (hold 2 seconds)
  • Wavy line button (above gold band): Autopilot 2.0 (hold 2 seconds to activate, tap to cycle modes)
  • “+” button: Increase intensity
  • “−” button: Decrease intensity

One small gripe: the buttons are the same colour as the body. No high-contrast markings. In the dark, fumbling around mid-session, I’ve hit the wrong button more than once. The “+” is larger (13mm) than the “−” (9mm), which helps with tactile differentiation, but I still wish they’d added a raised dot or different texture. Minor complaint, but when you’re right there on the edge and accidentally slam the intensity from 5 to Autopilot… it matters.

Pro tip I wish I’d known on day one: Spend your first session just learning the buttons with the toy off. Muscle memory is your friend. Trust me — you don’t want to be hunting for the minus button when your nervous system is short-circuiting.

The Nozzle: Why This Tiny Silicone Cup Makes or Breaks Everything

Here’s something most reviews gloss over that I consider absolutely critical: the nozzle is at least as important as the motor. Two toys with identical motors can feel completely different because of nozzle design — and the Premium 2’s nozzle is engineered with intention.

Let me break down the specs and translate them into sensation:

SpecPremium 2 ValueWhat It Means for Your Body
Opening size1.1 × 1.4 cm (oval)Fits most average-sized clitoral glans; not so wide it loses suction, not so narrow it pinches
Depth1.8 cmModerate — pulses maintain strength without being brutally direct
Silicone hardness46 Shore A (Firm)Creates a defined seal; won’t collapse under pressure but doesn’t conform as gently as softer nozzles
Edge profileModerate lip (~3mm)Enough to create suction seal without sharp pressure points

Here’s the honest truth: The Premium 2’s nozzle is firmer than I’d prefer. At 46 Shore A, it’s noticeably stiffer than the We-Vibe Melt 2’s buttery-soft 15A or even the Satisfyer Pro 3+’s plush 19A. Does this mean it’s uncomfortable? No. But it means you’ll want to use water-based lube on the rim (I recommend Sliquid H2O — silicone lubes can degrade silicone toys over time) to create a smoother seal and reduce any friction against your vulva during longer sessions.

One tester I spoke with — who has a larger clitoral hood — found that the medium nozzle created a perfect seal without any adjustment. Another tester with a very small, tucked-under glans said she had to actively part her labia and position the small nozzle quite precisely before it “locked on.” Neither experience is wrong — it’s anatomy. The two-nozzle system helps, but if your glans sits very deep beneath your hood, you may need to experiment with positioning more than you’d expect.

And here’s a nuance that surprised me in testing: the 1.8 cm nozzle depth acts as a buffer zone between your clit and the motor. Shallower nozzles (like the Lovehoney Rose at just 1.0 cm) deliver air pulses with almost no distance to weaken — which feels sharper and more aggressive. Deeper nozzles (like the Satisfyer Pro 3+ at 3.5 cm) diffuse the pulses until they feel pillowy and distant. The Premium 2 sits right in the middle: you feel every pulse with clarity, but it’s not slapping you in the face.

Think of it like the difference between someone whispering directly into your ear versus speaking across a room. The Premium 2 is about arm’s length — close enough to feel every word vibrate through you, far enough that it doesn’t make you flinch.

Edge case worth noting: One Amazon reviewer with a larger mons pubis (FUPA) reported that the toy’s shape made it difficult to lay flat against her body for proper suction. “If you have any FUPA fat, don’t buy this,” she wrote. This is a real consideration — the Premium 2’s nozzle sits relatively close to the body of the toy, which can make it harder to position if there’s more tissue between the surface and your glans. If this describes your anatomy, the We-Vibe Melt 2 (with its elongated, wand-like shape) or the Womanizer Next (with its adjustable depth control) may work better for you.

Performance: Where Physics Meets Your Nervous System

Alright, let’s get into the part you really came here for. Does it actually work? And how does it feel?

The Motor: Why the Premium 2’s Pulses Hit Different

After measuring airflow, pressure, and pulse frequency across all 25 toys I tested, the Womanizer Premium 2 distinguished itself in one critical way that I cannot overstate:

It is the only air-pulse vibrator that maintains deeply pleasurable, low-frequency pulsations (~66–125 Hz) across all 14 intensity levels.

Let me explain why that matters by telling you what happens with most other toys.

Most clit suckers increase intensity by accelerating pulse frequency — they make the air bursts happen faster. This feels stronger at first, but here’s the problem: as frequency climbs past ~300–400 Hz, your nerve receptors start to adapt. They essentially go: “Oh, this again? Same thing, 400 times a second? I’ll just… stop responding as much.” The result is that surface-level buzzy numbness that makes you chase higher and higher settings without getting closer to orgasm.

The Premium 2 doesn’t do this. Instead of just speeding up, it increases the force of each pulse while keeping the frequency in that magical 66–125 Hz range — right in the zone where your skin and deeper tissues resonate best. Each pulse has time to land, your nerves have time to fire, and the sensation builds in these rolling, compounding waves that feel less like a vibration and more like a rhythmic, deep pulling sensation.

Here’s my nerdy analogy: imagine someone tapping your shoulder. If they tap 100 times per second, it just feels like a constant buzz. If they tap twice per second, each tap is distinct but there’s no build. But if they tap at just the right tempo — strong, deliberate, rhythmic — each tap amplifies the one before it, and your whole body starts to respond. That’s the Premium 2 at its best. It’s playing your nervous system like a drummer who knows exactly the right tempo.

Comparative data:

ToyPulse Frequency RangeWhat It Feels Like
Womanizer Premium 266–125 Hz (all levels)Deep, rolling, rumbly pulses that build without numbing
We-Vibe Melt 2150–900 HzStarts thuddy, gets fluttery at high levels — nerve adaptation kicks in
Satisfyer Curvy 3+150–500 HzModerate — pleasant but less depth than Premium 2
LELO Sona 2 Cruise400 Hz (constant)Intense and buzzy throughout — powerful but numbing
Lovehoney Rose750 Hz (constant)Aggressive surface buzzing — overwhelming for most

The Intensity Range: From “Is It On?” to “Oh My God”

14 intensity levels. That’s not just a marketing number — the granularity actually matters.

The Premium 2 starts at a whisper. Level 1 is so gentle that the first time I used it, I genuinely checked to see if I’d turned it on. It’s barely-there — a soft, warm breath of air that’s perfect for warming up or for anyone with a highly sensitive clitoris who needs to ease in.

By levels 4–6, you’re in what I call the “golden zone” — strong enough to build toward orgasm for most people, rumbly enough to feel deep rather than superficial, and comfortable enough to sustain for extended play without overstimulation.

Levels 7–10 are where things get serious. This is firm, deliberate, can’t-ignore-it stimulation that most people will use for the final push toward climax. The pulses feel like they’re reaching past the surface of your glans and stimulating the deeper legs of the clitoral complex.

Levels 11–14? Frankly, I can’t use them. And I don’t say that as a weakness — I say that as evidence of how much power this toy has in reserve. Multiple testers and reviewers report the same thing: the top settings are eye-wateringly strong. But for people who need intense stimulation to orgasm — whether due to medication side effects, menopausal changes, or simply their personal neurology — those levels exist, and they’re there for you.

One reviewer summed it up perfectly: “Holy sweet saint of all things sinfully intensely magnificently body pulsating mind blowing… I was only on speed 2.” Honestly? Same.

A mistake I made early on: I started at level 5, thinking I’d “need” more. By the time I’d figured out the positioning, I’d already overstimulated myself and couldn’t orgasm for another 10 minutes. Start at 1 or 2. Always. Let your body warm up. The orgasm you build gradually will be ten times more powerful than the one you try to force.

Smart Features: Gimmicks or Game-Changers?

Smart Silence™

Let me paint you a picture: You’re in bed. Your partner just fell asleep. You reach for the Premium 2, press the power button, and… nothing happens. No buzzing. No whirring. Silence.

Then you place the nozzle against your skin, and it wakes up.

That’s Smart Silence. The toy’s sensors detect skin contact and only activate the motor when the nozzle is actually touching your body. Lift it away? It goes silent. Put it back? It resumes.

Why this matters more than you think:

  1. Discretion in shared spaces. If you live with roommates, a partner, or kids, those few seconds of silence between turning the toy on and positioning it can mean the difference between stealth and embarrassment.
  2. Battery conservation. Over a 20-minute session with repositioning, pauses, and adjustments, Smart Silence probably saves 30–40% of motor runtime.
  3. Edging made elegant. Pull it away, catch your breath, place it back. No fumbling with buttons to pause and resume. It just knows.

One thing I didn’t expect: Smart Silence also reduces the “startup noise” issue. With other toys, you turn them on and there’s this conspicuous whirrrrr while you position it. With Smart Silence, there’s nothing until contact is made. It’s genuinely clever engineering.

The caveat: Smart Silence can occasionally be too sensitive. If you hover the toy just above your skin without making full contact, it sometimes activates and deactivates in rapid succession — a stuttering on-off-on-off that’s more annoying than arousing. The fix is simple: just commit to full contact. But it’s worth mentioning.

You can disable Smart Silence by holding the “+” and “−” buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. I’ve never wanted to, but the option exists.

Autopilot 2.0

Autopilot mode hands the reins to the toy. Press and hold the wavy-line button for 2 seconds, and the Premium 2 begins cycling through intensity levels on its own — rising, falling, surprising you.

You can choose three modes by tapping the button:

  • Low Autopilot: Cycles through gentle levels
  • Medium Autopilot: Mid-range intensity cycling
  • High Autopilot: Cycles through the powerful upper settings

My honest take: I was skeptical. “Randomized intensity” sounded like a gimmick. But the first time I used Autopilot on Medium, it built me up, backed off just when I expected more, then surged right when I’d relaxed — and I came so hard my vision blurred.

It felt like someone else was in control. Like a partner who knew exactly when to tease and when to deliver. Multiple reviewers described this same sensation: “I love the feeling that the toy is being controlled for me.”

The Premium 2’s Autopilot is improved over the original Premium’s version. Womanizer sped up the progression (the original dawdled too much at lower levels before ramping up) and made the transitions more gradual. The result feels less mechanical and more intuitive.

Who Autopilot is great for:

  • People who tend to “chase” the orgasm by constantly adjusting settings (Autopilot removes that decision fatigue)
  • Anyone who enjoys the element of surprise and unpredictability
  • Solo sessions where you want to just lie back and receive

Who should skip it:

  • Anyone who needs precise, consistent stimulation at one specific level to orgasm
  • People who find changing intensity levels frustrating or disruptive

Real-World Use: Solo, Partnered, In the Tub, and Everything In Between

Solo Use: The Bread and Butter

This is where the Premium 2 truly shines. In bed, on my back, nozzle positioned over my clitoris with a dab of water-based lube on the rim — it’s the most reliable path to orgasm I’ve found in five years of testing air-pulse toys.

My typical session: Start at level 1–2, let the warmth build for a minute or two, slowly increase to 4–5, and let my body take over. Most of the time, orgasm hits between levels 4 and 7. The whole process takes anywhere from 30 seconds (if I’m already aroused) to about 5 minutes (from cold).

The orgasms themselves are different from vibrator orgasms. I cannot stress this enough. A buzzy wand vibrator gives me orgasms that feel surface-level — like a firecracker going off on my skin. The Premium 2 gives me orgasms that start deep inside and radiate outward, like a bass note that resonates through my entire pelvic floor. They’re the kind of orgasms where your legs shake involuntarily, your abs contract, and you make sounds you didn’t plan on making.

And here’s the part that genuinely changed my sex life: multiple orgasms are dramatically easier with this toy. Because it doesn’t numb my clit the way surface vibrators do, I can orgasm, take a breath, and go again. Three, four, sometimes five times in a session. That’s not something I ever achieved with direct-contact vibration.

One Amazon reviewer captured this perfectly: “I’ve had multiple orgasms which is something I’ve never experienced before. I literally had to pull it away to stop myself because I just kept going.”

Partnered Use: Honest Pros and Cons

Here’s where I have to be transparent: the Premium 2 is not the ideal toy for use during penetrative sex.

It works — I’ve used it during missionary and while riding on top — but its curved body is bulkier than I’d like between two bodies. The nozzle needs to maintain a consistent seal against your clit, which means you or your partner need to hold it in place while also doing… everything else. It’s manageable, but it requires coordination.

One reviewer echoed this: “The suction tip is a lot more flat/doesn’t stick out as much, and I feel like it is harder to get it to stay in place if you’re on top.”

For partnered use, I’d specifically recommend the We-Vibe Melt 2 instead. Its slim, elongated profile slips between bodies effortlessly, and its app allows your partner to control intensity remotely — which is a level of shared pleasure the Premium 2 (which has no Bluetooth connectivity) simply can’t offer.

That said, the Premium 2 is amazing in partnered scenarios where it’s the star of the show: your partner holds it against you while you lie back, or you use it on yourself while your partner focuses on other areas. The Autopilot mode is particularly fun here — neither of you knows exactly when the intensity will shift, which adds a delicious element of shared anticipation.

A caveat I wish I didn’t have to make: At $199 with no app connectivity, the lack of Bluetooth is a genuine miss. The Satisfyer Curvy 3+ has app control at one-third the price. For a “Premium” product, this feels like an oversight Womanizer should address in the next generation.

In the Bath/Shower: Nice in Theory, Tricky in Practice

The Premium 2 is IPX7 waterproof — meaning it can handle submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. I’ve submerged it, used it in the bath, and used it in the shower. It survived all three without any issues.

But here’s the practical reality: Water washes away lube. And without lube (or your body’s natural lubrication), the silicone nozzle doesn’t seal as smoothly against your skin. The suction weakens, the sensation becomes inconsistent, and you spend more time readjusting than enjoying.

My recommendation: use it in the bath if you enjoy the ambiance (candles, bubbles, the whole ritual), but apply a generous amount of water-based lube before you start and understand that you may need to reapply. In the shower? Skip it. The water pressure disrupts the seal constantly. Save the shower for your waterproof wand vibrator.

The waterproofing is far more useful for cleaning than for actual water play. Being able to rinse the entire toy under running water — and even submerge it — makes post-play cleanup effortless.

Battery & Charging: The 4-Hour Champion (With One Infuriating Flaw)

The Good: Marathon Battery Life

The Premium 2 advertises 4 hours of continuous runtime. In my testing, it delivered.

Four hours. Of uninterrupted air pulses. That’s the longest battery life of any clit sucker I’ve tested — and when combined with Smart Silence (which pauses the motor between uses), real-world battery life stretches even further. I charged mine once and used it across seven separate sessions over two weeks before the LED lights warned me to recharge.

For context: most Satisfyer models give you under 60 minutes. The LELO Sona 2 Cruise lasts about 1.5–2 hours. Having 4 hours means you never — and I mean never — run out mid-session. That matters more than you might think. Running out of battery at the edge of orgasm is the sex toy equivalent of your phone dying at 1% during a crucial text conversation. It’s happened to me with cheaper toys, and it’s devastating.

A full recharge takes about 2 hours via the magnetic USB cable.

The Bad: That Damned Magnetic Charger

And now we need to talk about the single most complained-about aspect of this toy across virtually every review platform I’ve seen.

The magnetic charging cable is terrible.

Let me be specific: the magnetic connection between the cable and the toy’s charging contacts (two small metal dots at the base) is weak. Infuriatingly weak. Sneeze-in-the-next-room-and-it-disconnects weak.

Multiple Amazon reviewers describe the exact same experience:

“The magnet that holds the charger on is very weak and falls off constantly.”

“You will need to actually physically hold the magnets in place and monitor it to make sure the charger stays connected.”

“NINE separate times now we have gotten LESS THAN 10 minutes use time after charging it for hours because the charger disconnected.”

I experienced this myself. I’d plug it in before bed, wake up to find the cable had slipped off at some point during the night, and the toy was barely charged. My workaround: I now charge it on a flat, stable surface (like a nightstand) with the cable draped straight down so gravity helps maintain the connection, and I place a small piece of tape over the junction for extra security. Not elegant. Not what you expect from a $199 product. But it works.

This is the kind of design flaw that shouldn’t exist at this price point. Womanizer, if you’re reading this: fix the magnet strength in the Premium 3. The battery itself is phenomenal. The mechanism to charge it is a headache.

One serious note: One reviewer reported their Premium 2 got extremely hot during charging to the point they feared a fire risk. While I’ve never experienced this, it’s worth monitoring your toy during the first few charges and not leaving it plugged in unattended on soft surfaces like beds or couches. Charge it on a hard surface where you can check on it.

Noise: Quiet Enough? Mostly.

I measured the Premium 2’s noise levels with a sound meter at three distances and across all intensity levels:

  • Levels 1–5 (one foot away): ~35–40 dB. Barely audible. Your body will muffle most of this. Behind a closed door? Completely silent.
  • Levels 6–10: ~42–48 dB. Noticeable in a silent room, but easily masked by a TV, fan, or music at low volume.
  • Levels 11–14: ~50–55 dB. Honestly? Audible. One reviewer called it “my PS4 about to take off,” and while that’s an exaggeration, the highest levels produce a distinct whirring that anyone in the next room would hear through thin walls.

The real-world verdict: If you’re using it at mid-range levels (where most orgasms happen anyway), it’s quiet enough for shared living situations with a closed door and light background noise. Smart Silence helps enormously because the toy isn’t whirring during pauses and repositioning.

Compared to the competition: the Womanizer Next is the quietest model in the Womanizer lineup (nearly silent). The We-Vibe Melt 2 and Satisfyer Curvy 3+ are comparable to the Premium 2. The LELO Sona 2 Cruise is louder.

How It Compares: Premium 2 vs. The Competition

This is the section where I’ll be the most honest, because I don’t think the Premium 2 is the best choice for every person. It’s the best overall. But “overall” might not be your specific situation.

My confession: The Melt 2 gives me better orgasms. Its ultra-soft nozzle creates this insanely intimate seal against my skin, and the lower-frequency pulsations at mid-levels feel like they’re tapping directly on my clit through the softest mouth imaginable. The airwaves feel deeper — like they’re reaching places no tongue can. When I want to come hard and come fast, I reach for the Melt 2.

But the Premium 2 objectively outperforms it: wider intensity range, better motor consistency at high levels, longer battery life, better warranty, smarter features. If I could only recommend one toy to someone I’d never met — not knowing their anatomy, sensitivity, or experience level — the Premium 2 would be the safer, more versatile bet.

Choose the Melt 2 if: You prioritize partnered play, want app control, prefer a softer nozzle, or want a slightly lower price point.

Choose the Premium 2 if: You want the most versatile intensity range, value Smart Silence and Autopilot, need marathon battery life, or want a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.

Womanizer Premium 2 vs. Womanizer Next

Womanizer Next compared to Womanizer Premium 2
 

The Next is Womanizer’s newest model and it’s designed specifically for sensitive users.

Key differences:

  • The Next starts gentler than the Premium 2 (barely perceptible at level 1) — making it better for highly sensitive clitorises
  • The Next has adjustable depth control, letting you fine-tune how deeply the pulses penetrate
  • The Next is quieter (nearly silent)
  • The Next has the Afterglow feature (one-button drop to lowest intensity for post-orgasm comfort) — which I wish the Premium 2 had

However, some testers found the Next’s sensations “more superficial” compared to the Premium 2’s depth. One Reddit user who owns both reported: “I truly cannot stand the Next. The sensations feel so superficial to me even at the highest settings.” Meanwhile, another user praised the Next’s rumblier quality and wider range.

Choose the Womanizer Next if: You’re highly sensitive, want the quietest possible toy, or value the Afterglow and depth-control features.

Choose the Premium 2 if: You want the deepest, most powerful pulsations, the best motor consistency, and the longest battery life.

Womanizer Premium 2 vs. Satisfyer Curvy 3+ (Budget Alternative)

The Satisfyer Curvy 3+ costs roughly $50–70 — a fraction of the Premium 2’s price — and it can make you orgasm. I know this because it made me orgasm.

But here’s the difference: The Curvy 3+ orgasms are… fine. Competent. Like a good-enough cup of coffee from a gas station versus a perfectly pulled espresso from a specialty café. Both contain caffeine. Both do the job. But one of them makes you close your eyes and moan.

The Premium 2’s motor is more balanced, its intensity transitions are smoother, its pulsations penetrate deeper, and its Smart Silence feature is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. The Curvy 3+ also doesn’t match the Premium 2’s build quality — its silicone feels cheaper, and one reviewer noted the glued seal around the mouth peeled after water immersion.

That said: The Curvy 3+ has app connectivity (via the Satisfyer app) that the Premium 2 lacks. And it also vibrates, which adds versatility. For someone who’s never tried an air-pulse toy and wants to test the waters without a $199 commitment, the Curvy 3+ is a genuinely good starting point.

Choose the Curvy 3+ if: You’re on a budget, new to air-pulse toys, or want app connectivity and dual vibration modes.

Choose the Premium 2 if: You’ve used air-pulse toys before and want the best motor, the deepest sensations, and the longest-lasting build quality.

Womanizer Premium 2 vs. LELO Sona 2 Cruise (The Power Monster)

I’m including this comparison because some people need to hear: the Sona 2 Cruise is not for most humans.

Its motor generates pulsations so intense that on my 1-to-10 subjective scale, it registers at 18. Its narrow 1.1 cm nozzle concentrates those pulses into a tiny pinpoint. Its sharp-edged nozzle and thick silicone walls transmit every air burst with zero diffusion.

I could barely tolerate level 1. My clitoris felt like it was being aggressively flicked by an angry hummingbird. If you’re someone who needs a Magic Wand at maximum power to orgasm, the Sona 2 Cruise might be your soulmate. For everyone else, it’s a torture device.

The Premium 2 is stronger than most people will ever need while remaining comfortable. That’s the crucial distinction. Power without comfort is punishment. The Premium 2 delivers both.

Who Should Buy the Womanizer Premium 2 (And Who Shouldn’t)

✅ Buy It If:

  • You want the single most versatile air-pulse toy available. The 14-level range spans from barely-there to overwhelming, covering virtually every sensitivity level.
  • You’ve been unable to orgasm from manual stimulation, oral sex, or penetration alone. Air-pulse technology stimulates the clitoral complex in a way nothing else can, and the Premium 2 is the most refined version of it.
  • You value build quality and longevity. The 5-year warranty, premium materials, and 4-hour battery say “I’ll still be working in 2029.”
  • You want smart features that actually enhance the experience. Smart Silence and Autopilot 2.0 aren’t gimmicks — they fundamentally change how you interact with the toy.
  • You’re a seasoned toy user looking for an upgrade. If you’ve been using Satisfyer or budget air-pulse toys and want to know what a premium motor actually feels like, this is the difference.

❌ Skip It If:

  • You’re on a tight budget. $199 is a lot. The Satisfyer Curvy 3+ will introduce you to air-pulse pleasure for a third of the price.
  • You need a toy primarily for use during penetrative sex. The Melt 2’s slimmer profile and app control make it better for partnered use.
  • You’re extremely sensitive and need the gentlest possible start. The Womanizer Next begins softer and has depth control — it’s designed specifically for you.
  • You have a larger mons pubis. The Premium 2’s nozzle positioning can struggle with larger tissue coverage. Test with a more extended-reach toy like the Melt 2 first.
  • You’re expecting silence. At higher levels, it’s audible. If discretion is paramount, the Womanizer Next is quieter.
  • A finicky magnetic charger will drive you crazy. It drove me a little crazy, and I’m patient. If you know you’ll lose sleep over a disconnecting charger, factor that into your decision.

Tips & Tricks: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me

After months of testing, here are the practical lessons I’ve learned the hard way:

  1. Always start at level 1. I know it seems too gentle. Trust the process. Arousal amplifies sensitivity, and what feels like “nothing” at the beginning will feel like “holy hell” three minutes later.
  2. Use lube on the nozzle rim. A thin ring of water-based lube around the silicone lip creates a significantly better seal, smoother contact, and more consistent suction. This single tip improved my experience more than any intensity adjustment.
  3. Part your labia first. The nozzle works best when your clitoral glans sits inside the opening as much as possible. Use your free hand to gently part your labia before positioning the toy.
  4. Try it lying on your back first. This gives you the most control over positioning and pressure. Once you’ve learned the angles, experiment with other positions.
  5. Charge it on a hard, flat surface. Drape the magnetic cable straight down and, if needed, use a small piece of tape to secure the connection. Check it after 30 minutes to confirm it’s still attached.
  6. Remove the nozzle for cleaning. The silicone head pops off easily. Wash both the head and the body separately with warm water and mild soap after every use. Let them air dry completely before reattaching.
  7. The Autopilot “Medium” mode is the sweet spot. If you’ve never tried Autopilot, start with Medium. It covers the most pleasurable intensity range without venturing into either boringly-low or painfully-high territory.
  8. Don’t press it hard against your body. Air-pulse toys need a gentle seal, not pressure. Pressing too hard actually collapses the nozzle and disrupts airflow. Light contact. Let the suction do the work.
  9. If you’re using it with a partner, communicate positioning. They can’t feel what you feel. Tell them exactly where it needs to sit — a millimeter in any direction makes a massive difference.
  10. Store it in the included pouch. Lint, dust, and pet hair are the enemies of nozzle hygiene. The cotton drawstring bag keeps everything clean between uses.

The Complaints I Can’t Ignore

I believe in total transparency, so here are the recurring issues — from my testing and from the wider community — that you should know about before buying:

1. The magnetic charger is unreliable. I’ve covered this. It works, but it requires babysitting. Multiple users report the same disconnection issues. This is the Premium 2’s most significant design flaw.

2. The nozzle silicone is firmer than competitors. At 46 Shore A, it’s noticeably less forgiving than the Melt 2 (15A) or the Satisfyer Pro 3+ (19A). Some users find this fine; others notice discomfort during longer sessions. Lube helps considerably.

3. No app connectivity. For a $199 “premium” product in 2024, the absence of Bluetooth/app control feels like a gap. Satisfyer offers this on $50 toys. LELO offers it. We-Vibe offers it. Womanizer should too.

4. The buttons lack visual contrast. Same-colour buttons on a same-colour body means finding the right one in the dark requires tactile memory. Not a dealbreaker, but a design choice I’d change.

5. It can feel “too close to the body” for some anatomies. Users with a larger mons pubis or a deeply recessed clitoris have reported difficulty getting the nozzle into the right position.

6. A small number of units have defects. Across Amazon and other platforms, some users report motors that stutter, units that won’t charge, or nozzles that detach prematurely. This appears to be a manufacturing quality-control issue rather than a design flaw — and Womanizer’s 5-year warranty should cover it. But “should” and “does” aren’t always the same, and Amazon’s return policy on used intimate products is… complicated.

My honest advice: Buy directly from Womanizer’s website or from authorized retailers like Lovehoney where return and warranty policies are clearer and more customer-friendly.

The $199 Question: Is It Worth the Money?

This is the question everything leads to, and I’m going to answer it three ways:

If you’ve never tried an air-pulse toy: Start with the Satisfyer Curvy 3+ ($50–70). Seriously. It will tell you whether you enjoy this type of stimulation at all before you invest $199. If you love the Satisfyer and find yourself wishing it were more powerful, more nuanced, and better built — then you know the Premium 2 is worth the upgrade.

If you already know you love air-pulse stimulation: The Premium 2 is the best version of this technology currently available. The motor is unmatched. The intensity range covers the widest span. The battery outlasts everything. The 5-year warranty protects your investment. Yes, $199 is significant. But this is the kind of toy that lasts years and delivers hundreds (maybe thousands) of orgasms. Divide the cost by the number of times you’ll use it and the price-per-orgasm becomes absurd.

If you’re buying it as a gift: The packaging is beautiful, the product feels luxurious, and the two-nozzle system accommodates different anatomies. Just include a note that says “start at level 1 and use lube” — they’ll thank you later.

One Amazon reviewer said it best: “I bought this about 2½ years ago and one of the first times I used it, it worked wonders. I got my money’s worth on that one try.”

Final Verdict

The Womanizer Premium 2 earned its crown. Not because it’s flawless — the magnetic charger drives me up the wall, the silicone is firmer than I’d prefer, and the lack of app connectivity in 2024 is borderline inexcusable for a “premium” product.

But in the metric that matters most — how the air pulses translate from motor to nozzle to nerve endings to orgasm — nothing I’ve tested comes close. The Premium 2 is the only air-pulse vibrator that maintains deep, resonant, nerve-penetrating pulsations across its entire intensity range. It doesn’t numb you. It doesn’t buzz your clitoris into submission. It builds sensation in these rhythmic, compounding waves that feel less like a machine and more like the most patient, skilled, tireless mouth in the universe.

The orgasms are deep. They’re fast. They’re repeatable. And they feel fundamentally different from anything a traditional vibrator produces.

Is it the toy that gives me the best orgasms? Honestly, no — the We-Vibe Melt 2 holds that throne for my specific anatomy. But the Premium 2 is the one I’d recommend to my best friend, my sister, or a stranger on the internet without knowing a single thing about their body. It’s the one most likely to work for the most people.

And isn’t that what “best overall” really means?

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 — The most technically accomplished air-pulse vibrator available, limited only by a fussy charger and the absence of app connectivity.

  • This is just the kind of engineer-level review that I needed as a type-A shopper. I’ve read all your reviews on air pulse toys and I’m waiting for Womanizer Premium 2 as my first one! I’m so excited to try it out. You’re doing amazing work💗 Recommending your blog to all my friends!

  • By the way, does the level 1 feel a little spluttery and stuttery as opposed to rhythmic consistent? I’ve seen some reviews mentioning it.

    • On mine, the first level is extremely soft and barely there. It’s quite even. But the Smart Silence feature can cause some confusion. When it’s on, Premium 2 only starts when it meets skin and goes into standby when it is not in contact, so a weak seal, shifting angle, or partial contact can absolutely make it seem like it is sputtering when it is really just losing activation. You can try turning the Smart Silence off and see if it’ll improve if you have this issue. I also read some comments here and there about this ‘stuttery’ feel, but in most places it was defective units or the Smart Silence getting in the way.

  • Thank you for all the info!

    I just tried out the Premium 2, and I was instantly in love with the silky, velvety feel of the silicone. It feels so luxurious and looks so pretty!

    While I was able to orgasm after switching to the other spout head (I think it’s the smaller one?), I had to keep it on level 1–2. When I went higher with the default spout head it honestly felt like a tiny jackhammer going at my clit or like a bunch of mini G.I. Joes just punching it hard nonstop. Kind of uncomfortable and a little painful. Especially when I pulled back the hood and angled it more directly around the exposed clit. The stimulation felt better with the hood on.

    Oh and I think the spluttering was because I was pressing it down too hard. I read somewhere that with air pulse toys I’m not supposed to grind it, just hold it lightly in place, so maybe that’s why? I guess I’ll have to get used to using this kind of toy more.

    Though the Premium 2 was all right, I am thinking of getting another toy to see if another one fits me even better. Having read all this, would you recommend I try out the Wevibe Melt in my case? If not could you recommend another one? Thank you so so much in advance 🥹

    • Honestly, what you described sounds very normal to me. Some clits love direct exposed stimulation, and some absolutely do not. If it felt better with the hood on, the smaller nozzle, and the toy held lightly at levels 1–2, I’d read that as your body preferring softer, more indirect stimulation, not as you ‘using it wrong.’ And yes, pressing too hard can definitely make an air-pulse toy feel sputtery or harsher. Based on that, I do think the We-Vibe Melt is a smart next try because its nozzle is much softer than the Premium 2’s. But I would not describe Melt as gentle; even its start can also feel deep and overwhelming for some. If you want the gentlest possible start and a more wavy rather than pulsing sensation, I’d also seriously consider the Womanizer Next. Melt = softer contact, but still deep pressure. Next = gentler low-end stimulation and more control over the speeds and depth. I’d also consider the Satisfyer Curvy 3+. It can work surprisingly well for people who prefer a softer, gentler start rather than intense direct stimulation right away.

      But before getting a new toy, maybe experiment a bit more with the Premium. I plan to make a detailed guide on how I use it for best results, but for now, make sure to check my article on how to use clit suckers. It can give you some ideas.
