  • Publication number: 20220226186
    Abstract: Stimulation devices are disclosed. An example stimulation device includes a chamber which has a flexible wall portion. A drive unit of the stimulation device is in physical communication with the flexible wall portion so as to cause deflections of the flexible wall portion in opposing directions, thereby resulting in a changing volume of the chamber. The changing volume of the chamber results in modulated positive and negative pressures with respect to a reference pressure. An opening of the stimulation device is for applying the modulated positive and negative pressures to a body part. The stimulation device includes a control device for controlling the drive unit.

  • Publication number: 20210038468
    Abstract: Stimulation devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a housing including a chamber. The housing defines an opening to the chamber. The example apparatus includes a flexible material protruding from the opening and configured to sealingly engage a portion of a body of a user including a clitoris. The example apparatus includes a drive unit disposed in the housing. The drive unit is to cause a volume of the chamber to alternate between a first volume and a second volume, the alternating volume of the chamber to cause pressure in the chamber to modulate between positive pressures relative to an ambient pressure and negative pressures relative to the ambient pressure. The modulated positive pressures and negative pressures are to be applied to the portion of the body via the opening.
