Suction cup dildos are a total game-changer when it comes to hands-free fun. Whether you’re flying solo or adding some spice to your relationship, these versatile toys offer tantalising possibilities for you to fulfil your fantasies. If you’re new to them and want to know how to use suction cup dildos or just looking for some creative ways to use one, here’s everything you need to know.
What Is a Suction Cup Dildo?
A suction cup dildo is exactly what it sounds like; a dildo with a strong suction base at one end. The base can stick to smooth, non-porous surfaces like tile, glass, mirrors, and even some furniture. I’d give windows a miss, though.
These dildos’ hands-free design makes them perfect for riding, grinding, or using in a variety of positions – all without needing hands free to hold it into place.
Things to Consider Before Choosing A Suction Cup Dildo
The Material
Although there are various body safe materials for sex toys, silicone is really the only way to go here! Body safe and non-porous, the most important thing is that it’s also flexible so you can get just the right angle. And, with silicone being dishwasher safe, keeping your suction cup dildo clean after use is easy peasy (you can also wash it manually if the idea of it mixing mixing with your cutlery is a bit much!).
Shape
Do you want a hyper-realistic looking suction cup dildo which is great for role play, or maybe you want something less realistic like a brightly coloured dildo, which is also designed to massage your g-spot? What about a fantasy dildo like this sea monster themed suction cup dildo?
If you can imagine it, it probably exists. There are a huge range of dildos out there – read our guide to the best dildos and you might be surprised! Browse through some of our favourite websites – Lovehoney, XXX essentials, Rocks Off, Sextoys.co.uk and biird.co – to get some ideas!
Length & Girth
Size is important, but beware because bigger is not always better! You can get a whole range of different sizes; from little itty bitty ones to to OH MY GOD THAT’S UNHOLY huge, but I would put money on it that you won’t be grinding on a ten inch dildo unless you’re a porn star.
There are also a range of girths. The Biird Boo is a girthy silicone dildo (RRP £29.99) with a suction cup bottom, specifically made for those who don’t like the cervix-smashing dildos, measuring a slightly more modest/realistic and less intimidating 5.5inches.
This one suits me absolutely fine; it’s more than enough to give that full feeling. However if you want to go a bit bigger, then 7-8 inches isn’t a bad shout.
For size queens, there are plenty available in the 8-10 inch bracket, or even bigger. No judgement.
How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo
Find the Perfect Surface
You need a smooth, flat surface such as tile or mirror. The classic way is of course to stick it to a shower wall for steamy fun, but it seems like a solo endeavour to me; we all know that shower sex is rarely as fun as it appears in porn. Fortunately, there are other more practical ways to use a suction cup dildo. Attach it to a chair, on the floor, or even a smooth wooden or metal headboard to try it from different angles.
Feeling bolder? Experiment with mirrors for a visually stimulating experience for your partner.
Apply a Little Lube
Always use a high-quality water-based lube (or a silicone-safe lube if your toy allows), which helps with ease of insertion and comfort during penetration. I mean it. Lube is brilliant. Can’t get enough of the stuff.
Test The Suction
Press the base firmly onto your chosen surface and make sure it’s secure. Give it a few tugs to ensure it won’t slip mid-session.
Or boing it. Go on, you know you want to.
(Fun, isn’t it?).
Experiment With Positions
Try doggy-style against a wall or sturdy mirror, or straddle it on the floor or suctioned to a chair for a riding motion. Let it do the work while you focus on other pleasure points.
Combine Your Suction Dildo With Other Toys
Combine the feeling of fullness with some clitoral stimulation for a blended orgasm! For a real feeling of fullness, why not go double penetration style and use a butt plug too?
Use It With a Partner
If you’ve always fantasised about a MMF threesome but your partner is somewhat less willing, you can live out your fantasy by backing on to the suctioned dildo while giving your partner oral sex at the same time; a DIY spitroast with no other dudes involved.
If the dildo is suctioned to a mirror then they’ll have a great view in addition to the great sensations of the blow job. I think this is probably among the suction cup dildo’s preferred uses, to be honest.
Use It In a Harness
Many suction cup dildos are compatible with strap-on harnesses, making them perfect for partner play for F/F couples or F/M if you fancy giving pegging ago. The flared suction based keeps it secure in the harness and is comfortable against the body.
Make Sure You Keep It Clean
Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap or a specialised toy cleaner and let it air dry completely before storing it away.
Bonus Tips for the Best Experience
Shower Play: Suction cup dildos are amazing in the shower, but make sure your surface is dry before sticking it on for better grip.
Try Different Angles: Switching up the position can provide new sensations you might not have experienced before.
Quiet & Discreet: Unlike motorised toys, suction cup dildos are silent, making them a great choice for discretion.
Now you know how to use suction cup dildos, you can see why they offer a fun and hands-free way to explore pleasure at your own pace. Whether you’re using it for solo play, experimenting with new angles, or bringing it into partnered fun, the possibilities are endless!
