A clitoral pump is a sex toy used by women to aid arousal by encouraging blood flow to the genital area. Much like a penis pump, it uses suction to draw blood to the clitoris and labia. It is used to enhance sexual pleasure temporarily, although continued use is believed to provide longer term improvements in blood flow to the genitals.
A clitoral pump may also be referred to as a pussy pump.
Simple pumps are cup shaped and attached to a hand pump which resembles the bulb on a blood pressure cuff. The cup is placed over the clitoris, the labia or both. Then, the bulb is pumped by hand to create a vacuum between the cup and the skin, thus pulling blood into the area. Most clitoral pumps are made from silicone and also come in a variety of novelty shapes. Some are also made with ticklers in the cup and vibrating bullets to increase pleasure.
