Chances are, if you are here reading this blog post, then you are looking for creative ways to use a suction cup dildo. If it is your first time using a dildo with a suction cup base, have no fear. This article will guide you through all the exciting ways you can use your toy, as well as the best suction cup dildos to try out (in our humble opinion).

So, let’s begin!

How to use a suction cup dildo for the first time

Now, let’s get that party started and read about various suction cup dildo techniques for beginners. In this section, you’ll learn how to use a suction cup dildo step-by-step.

First, choose the correct size dildo that is right for you.

What size of dildo is right for you? While dildo sizes can vary A LOT, beginners may want to choose a small dildo to start with (2.5-4 inches) for easy insertion. Keep in mind that smaller dildos usually have less girth as well.

Use lots of lube for a smooth ride

Lube is essential when using any insertable sex toy, as toys can dry out vaginal/anal tissues and cause friction. Always use a water-based lube with a silicone toy. Silicone lubes can damage silicone toys, and oil-based lubes are not compatible with the flora and fauna inside the vagina.

Find a comfy position

Try various suction cup dildo positions to find which one works best for you. Many people like squatting or sitting on their suction cup dildos (cowgirl position), doggie style, or laying on their backs with a cushion supporting their bottom. Experiment and see which sex position suits you best.

Stick your suction cup dildo to a firm, hard surface

This probably seems obvious, but suction cup dildos need a hard, smooth surface to firmly adhere to it. See “Best surfaces to stick your suction cup dildo to” to see which surfaces are recommended.

Use position enhancers or pillows for added comfort

Now that you found the perfect suction cup dildo position, and have stuck your dildo to a hard, smooth surface, try adding position enhancers or pillows under your knees, butt, or other body parts for the comfiest ride.

Self-pleasure to get aroused

I know you’re excited, but before you dive right in and insert your dildo, make sure to warm up with self-pleasure or foreplay (if you are playing with a partner) first. Vulva owners can try a clitoral vibe or clit sucking toy to arouse themselves.

If using your dildo for anal play, try fingering or using a butt plug or anal beads to stretch your anus and ready it for your dildo. Nipple clamps are also a great alternative for everybody to enjoy.

Slowly insert then ride that dildo!

Don’t insert your dildo too fast or too much at once. Listen to your body and what feels good. Slow and steady wins the race. Then, when you’re ready, ride your dildo, cowgirl! — or cowboy/ person — to build up momentum! The cool thing about a suction cup dildo is that you can thrust up against it as you build your rhythm, allowing for more penetration depth and force per thrust. Like it hard and deep? Go for it!

Try rotating your hips to hit all the right spots!

Try moving your hips so you can rotate the dildo inside of you to hit all your best erogenous zones! Massage your G-spot, located on the tummy side of the vagina, or hit your A-spot (the AFE zone), which lies near the backside deep within.

Experiment with variations on depth, speed, and force of thrusting.

Don’t forget to experiment with various depths, speeds, and the force of thrusting to change things up a bit. While you can always go back to your go-to grind, you never know when something new or unexplored may excite you.

Use with a clitoral toy for a combined clitoral and vaginal orgasm.

Vulva owners can use a clitoral vibrator while using their suction cup dildo because the dildo is hands-free. Try a vibe or clit sucking toy to experience a blended orgasm!

Try new locations all around the house.

There are lots of places around the house where you can plant your dildo and play! In the shower? On a washing machine full cycle? The ideas are only limited by your imagination! Want more ideas on where to stick it? keep reading!

How to get the best suction from your suction cup dildo

Using a suction cup dildo hands-free can be a game-changer, but getting it to stick properly takes a little know-how. Here are our top tips to ensure a strong, secure hold on different surfaces.

Start with a clean, dry surface.

For the best suction, choose a surface that’s smooth, non-porous, and free of dust, lint, or moisture. Glass, tile, plastic, and some wooden finishes work great. Wipe the area down with a damp cloth and let it dry completely before attaching the toy.

Use lube wisely.

Lube is essential for comfort, but too much can drip down to the base of your dildo, making positioning tricky. Apply it sparingly just to the head of the dildo to reduce friction without making it too slippery, or the toy may slide around instead of staying in place.

Struggling to get a good stick? Try this!

If your suction cup doesn’t adhere well, lightly dampen the bottom of the base with a small amount of water or a damp washcloth. This can help create a stronger seal against the surface.

Choose the right surface.

Avoid textured, rough, or porous surfaces, as they won’t allow for a proper vacuum seal. Stick to materials like glass, marble, polished metal, and high-gloss tile for the best results.

Work with the dildo’s natural angle.

Once attached, avoid bending the dildo too much in a way that breaks the suction. Move with the toy rather than against it to keep it securely in place for as long as you need.

By following these steps, you’ll get the best performance out of your suction cup dildo—no unexpected pop-offs or mid-session slips!

Help! My suction cup dildo keeps popping off the surface!

If you are finding it hard to keep your suction cup dildo stuck to your desired surface, here are some suction cup dildo troubleshooting tips to look out for.

Get a quality sex toy.

Let’s be real – not all dildos or sex toys are created equally. Some products are made from substandard materials, whereas other brands create high-quality toys that are made to last. This also varies when it comes to suction cups. So, make sure to read reviews or even test out a toy in person at a local store before you buy. High-quality toys include silicone, borosilicate glass, and metal, which are all body-safe. Avoid materials like jelly, rubber, vinyl, or PVC, as well as sex toys made from porous materials and plastics that contain phthalates.

The surface is not clean, uneven

Remember, the surface needs to be flat and smooth. A suction cup will not stick well to some painted surfaces, especially with texture. Avoid bumpy plaster, unfinished wood, walls with seams, and wallpaper. If the surface has oils or dirt, it may not stick well and could slide or pop off as well. Clean your surface beforehand.

Secure it before taking a ride.

Make sure to stick your suction cup dildo securely to your desired surface before hopping on for a ride. If need be, dampen the base and firmly press against the surface to ensure it is stuck well in place. Test it first, by pulling on it to make sure it is sturdy.

Suction cup dildo safety tips

Now that you’ve got a good idea of what to do let’s talk about the don’ts!

Avoid getting lube on the base of toys to prevent slipperiness and loss of suction.
Do not use toys on glass shower doors or mirrored surfaces unless securely mounted. When using horizontally, avoid deep thrusting to prevent the suction cup from detaching.
Use quality water-based lubes like Lovense or Sliquid.
Always choose body-safe, high-quality toys and clean them thoroughly before and after use.

How to clean and maintain a suction cup dildo

Most suction cup dildos are made from silicone and, therefore, waterproof, so they are easy to clean with mild soap and water. Check the manufacturer’s specs to see if your dildo is waterproof. If not, you can use a baby wipe or sex toy cleaner spray, then lightly mist your toy and then wipe it clean.

To clean with soap and water:

Rinse the dildo with warm water to remove fluids.
Use mild soap and warm water to clean, focusing on crevices.
Rinse well to eliminate soap.
Air dry on a clean towel.
Store individually in a zip lock bag or original packaging, away from extreme temperatures.
Recharge toys every 3-6 months for battery health.
