Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for promoting female sexual wellness and function. The devices, systems, and methods encourage clitoral engorgement using suction over the clitoris combined with vibratory stimulation

Claims (25)

1 . An apparatus for promoting sexual arousal in a female user, comprising: a tissue-contacting chamber including a suction chamber; and at least two stimulators flexibly suspended at least partially within the suction chamber.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a suction adjustment element, wherein the suction adjustment is in fluid communication with the tissue-contacting chamber.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein parameters of the stimulators are controlled and the parameters are selected from the group consisting of vibrational frequency, vibrational intensity, vibrational duration, sequence of motor vibration, and combinations thereof.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the stimulators are controlled by selecting from a pre-programmed algorithm, a user-customizable algorithm, or combinations thereof.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 comprising a wearable device body with an attachment area that fits between the labia majora inferior to the clitoris and a housing that exits the labia majora superior to the clitoris, the attachment area having a length and the housing a height that allow intercourse.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 comprising three stimulators in a triangular-spaced relationship forming a clitoral tissue cavity.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the stimulators are miniature coin style motors.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the miniature coin style motors are encapsulated in a convex shape membrane.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a suction-generating device and a wearable device body, wherein the suction-generating device is detachable from the wearable device body.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the stimulators remain substantially in contact with tissue after the suction-generating device is detached.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a membrane at least partially encapsulating at least one of the stimulators.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the membrane is coupled to the chamber.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the stimulators are flexibly suspended via the membrane.

14 . The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the membrane is configured to be displaceable by the user's clitoris.

15 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the stimulators are controlled such that the user experiences simulated macroscopic motion.

16 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein vibration generated by one stimulator is isolated from a wall of the tissue-contacting chamber.

17 . The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the stimulators are motor type stimulators and are individually controlled.

18 . An apparatus for promoting sexual arousal in a female user, comprising: a tissue-contacting chamber including a suction chamber, the suction chamber being in fluid connection with a programmable suction pump; and at least two stimulators mounted within the suction chamber; wherein the motors and the suction pump are configured to be independently controllable via a control circuit.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 further comprising a controller block, wherein the controller block includes pre-loaded vibration patterns and pre-loaded suction patterns.

20 . The apparatus of claim 19 wherein the controller block is configured to allow a user to create vibration patterns and suction patterns.

21 . The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the apparatus comprises a wearable device body and the suction pump is mounted within the device body.

22 . The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the stimulators are motors.

23 - 26 . (canceled)

27 . A method for promoting sexual arousal in a female user, comprising: positioning a device body in contact with vulvar tissue, the device body comprising a tissue-contacting chamber and at least two stimulators coupled thereto; controlling the at least two stimulators wherein the user experiences spatially differentiated stimulation.

28 - 29 . (canceled)
