Kiiroo Finally Focuses on the Clit, Releasing the Cliona Smart Vibrator

The sex tech company is starting to take women’s pleasure more seriously.

It sure took its time, but Amsterdam-based company Kiiroo has announced the release of Cliona: its first product created for the sole purpose of pleasuring the clitoris.

Small and powerful

The Cliona features four touch-sensitive and one tactile control on its pocket-sized and ergonomically designed waterproof exterior. Under its hood, the Cliona delivers strong vibrations with an upgraded motor.

Kiiroo CEO Toon Timmermans said of the new product:

Although Cliona is small, it has a more powerful motor than any other vibrator we have produced. As they say, big things come in small packages!

A new tool for interconnected sexuality

Like other Kiiroo devices we have covered, including the recently released Titan designed for penis-havers, the Cliona has Internet connectivity. It can be remotely controlled by a partner via another Cliona or other Kiiroo intimate devices.

The haptic sex toys send sensation and pressure picked up by sensors and then transmits them to other device connected to the Kiiroo platform.
This feature makes it an enticing sex toy for people in long-distance relationships and anyone who enjoy meeting lovers online.

Additionally, the Cliona can be connected to adult entertainment sites like PornHub [NSFW] and FeelMe, allowing viewers to both see and feel the action unfolding in front of them. Beyond basic 2D sex flicks, the interactive technology also works with virtual reality and gaming sexual experiences.

Kiiroo has a history of producing interactive sex toys that focus on cis male pleasure, with its earliest vibrators being shaped like dildos and offering no direct clitoral stimulation.

From the outside, it appears the vibrators were created for cam models so they could use them to stimulate the penis from afar. The fact that studies show most women need clitoral stimulation to climax further props up the view that female pleasure has not been top of mind for the sex tech company.

Working with OhMiBod, however, Kiiroo released the Fuse vibrator intended for both internal and clitoral stimulation in 2017. Kiiroo’s strokers have since supported interaction with other remote sex toys from OhMiBod, but none designed specifically for clitoral stimulation.

Now that the Cliona is available, it will be interesting to see if Kiiroo will be able to tap into the female sex tech market—beyond female cam models. In any case, it’s a good thing that adult performers will have a new sex toy option catering to what many women consider the most important sex organ.

The Cliona is now for sale through Kiiroo for $99.

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
