Abstract
A female stimulation device comprising a resilient device body having a partially deformable tip portion, a flange and an intermediate side wall portion extending outwardly from the tip portion to the flange. In use, the tip portion is compressed to force air out of the device body and the flange is placed in contact with vaginal wall tissue so that the clitoris is encompassed by the device body. Release and restorative deformation of the tip portion causes a partial vacuum within the device body, which maintains the device in place and provides suction to the clitoris. The intermediate side wall portion is substantially non-deformable in response to deformation of the tip portion, as may be achieved with outwardly convex side walls, thereby preventing deleterious entrapment and compression of the clitoris. Pharmacologically active materials, such as vasoactive agents, substances, and medications, may be applied to the device for contact with the clitoris during use in order to further enhance female sexual function.
