You probably came here searching for information on how to make a homemade suction cup dildo, but we strongly advise against making your own. Going down the DIY route carries numerous risks, and it’s not worth an emergency room visit just to save a few bucks.
Instead, it’s better to buy a quality, affordable product like the Lifelike Lover Classic, which is available for just $30 at Lovehoney. This exceptional suction cup dildo offers a 6-inch size and a realistic design, featuring a textured shaft, a tapered human-like head, and wrinkled testicles. Given its affordable price, it delivers remarkable value for your money.
- We strongly advise against attempting to create a DIY dildo mount at home. Instead, we highly recommend investing in a commercially available product that has undergone rigorous testing. These products offer superior safety features and stability when attached to various surfaces.
- If you still decide to proceed with the DIY route, there are some semi-safe options for creating the dildo and the suction base. However, it’s essential to carefully follow each instruction to prevent any accidents or mishaps.

What are Homemade Suction Cup Dildos?
A homemade suction dildo is a DIY phallic-shaped sex toy with a suction base that you can attach to flat surfaces for hands-free enjoyment. There are a couple of approaches to creating a DIY suction cup dildo. You can either construct something from scratch and add a suction cup to it, or modify an existing toy by adding a suction cup attachment.
Note: The product above is the Vixskin Mustang, our highest-rated suction cup dildo in the extensive review we did earlier this year. Mustang became our favorite because it had the strongest suction cup of all the models we tested. The 7.5″ long dong also has a realistic design and curved shaft, making it suitable for both anal and vaginal play. (full review article here)
Is Making a DIY Suction Cup Dildo Safe?
No. Making a DIY suction cup dildo is unsafe as it requires certain skills and knowledge to make it safe for internal use. If you’re uncertain about your abilities to create a safe and effective sex toy, we strongly recommend opting for professional options from reputable manufacturers.
Some Semi-Safe Suction Cup Dildo Ideas
When it comes to making your DIY suction cup dildo, there are a few semi-safe ideas that you can try. But please keep in mind that making your own sex toys is always risky, so it’s important to take precautions to ensure your safety. Here are a few ideas that we recommend for making a homemade dildo mount:
Note: Any action you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk. Please read our Terms of Service to learn more.
1. Attaching Suction Cup To A Dildo
First, we have this guide from Reddit by username LadyPseudonymia that gives us a decent option using an existing dildo:
Materials Needed:
- Store-bought dildo (preferably with a firm core, like dual density and flat base. Vixskin Johnny will work)
- Double-sided suction cups (PVC suction cups)
- Optional: Cleaner for removing adhesive residue
Pro tip: If you plan to get a store-bought dildo, we recommend the Vixskin Johnny as we ranked it as our top silicone dildo in the review article we wrote earlier this year. Using a silicone dildo works well with a silicone suction and they are generally easier to clean and store. More silicone dildos in this roundup.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Select a dildo with a flat base. This method works best with models that have a smooth and even surface at the base, like the Johnny above.
- Clean the surface of the dildo base and ensure it’s dry. This will help with the adhesion of the suction cups.
- Test the suction cups on various surfaces to determine their sticking capabilities. Different suction cups have different adhesive properties, so experiment to find the most suitable surface.
- Apply the double-sided suction cup to the base of the dildo. Press firmly to ensure a secure attachment and make sure the suction cup is centered and properly aligned.
- Once attached, test the suction cup’s strength by pulling gently on the dildo. Ensure that it’s firmly held in place and does not easily detach.
- Remember to consider safety and hygiene when using any attachments with your toys, and follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and care.
Keep in mind that the suction cups are not fully silicone, so avoid storing the silicone dildo with the suction cups attached to minimize any potential material interactions.
Further, monitor the suction cup’s performance over time. Check for any signs of wear, loss of adhesion, or residue on the dildo base. If adhesive residue remains on the dildo base after removing the suction cups, use a cleaner specifically designed for removing adhesive residue to clean the area.

2. Building Everything From Scratch
Unfortunately, using household items like cucumber, eggplant, or hairbrush is not going to work for this particular DIY project. So if you don’t plan to buy a dildo with a flat base, then the last resort you can try is using Clone A Willy. Here’s how you do it:
How to Make a DIY Dildo:
- Start by preparing the materials. The tube that came with the kit will be used as a mold, so make sure it is clean and ready to use.
- Get an erection and measure your penis (or your partner’s). Cut the tube down to a size that is about 2 inches longer than your penis.
- Prepare the molding gel mixture. Have all the ingredients measured and ready in a bowl. Mix them together using a whisk. It’s important to work quickly because the mixture sets in about 2 minutes. Make sure to maintain an erection during this step.
- Pour the mixed molding gel into the tube. Carefully place your erect penis into the mold, ensuring it is fully immersed. Allow the gel to set for about 2 hours before proceeding.
- Mix the silicone. Take the white and pink bags of silicone from the kit and mix them in a disposable container. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the silicone mixture into the mold. Fill the mold completely, covering the molded penis.
- Allow the Clone-A-Willy to set fully. It is important to let it set fully for 24 hours without disturbing it. If there is any leftover silicone mixture, it can be used to create a flat base for the suction cup to be attached to.
- Remove the mold. Carefully remove the Clone-A-Willy dildo from the penis casting. Trim any excess silicone from the edges of the mold. Use a wet cloth to wipe it down and remove any residue.
Note: If you choose to go this path, you’re in luck as the Clone-A-Willy you’ll be getting also has a vibrating unit. Read more about Clone-A-Willy here.
If this seems unclear, we have more detailed steps with images in our homemade dildo guide.
Combining the DIY Dildo and Suction Cup:
- Once the DIY dildo is ready, attach the pre-bought suction cup to the base of it.
- If you included the vibrating device in the Clone-A-Willy, you can use a non-toxic superglue or adhesive to attach the double-sided suction to the end of the vibrator.
- Ensure the suction cup is securely fastened and aligned with the bottom of the dildo.
- Make sure the wall is clean. Even a slight irregularity on the wall can cause a small air bubble that can disrupt the suction of your dildo.
3. Shelf with a Suction Cup Dildo
Last but not least, we have this nifty guide by Redditor DildoOnaConveyorBelt. Let’s see what they have to say:
Materials Needed:
- IKEA Bergshult shelf
- 11-inch and 8-inch IKEA Blanda Blank serving bowls
- 7-inch and 5-inch 1/2″ carriage bolts
- Washers and nuts for each bolt
- Drill with a 1/2″ bit
- Dremel (optional)
- Socket wrench
Step-by-step Instructions:
- Determine the desired angle and height for the suction cup dildo mount. Consider using the larger bowl for a forward-facing angle and the smaller bowl for an upward-facing angle.
- Mark the locations on the shelf where you want to drill the holes for the bolts. Make sure the placement will allow for a secure and stable mount.
- Using the drill and the 1/2″ bit, carefully drill holes in the marked locations on the shelf. Take appropriate safety precautions and wear eye protection.
- Insert the carriage bolts through the drilled holes from the top side of the shelf. Place a washer and a nut on the underside of each bolt and tighten them using a socket wrench.
- If the square shoulder underneath the carriage bolt head prevents it from going through the bowl, use a Dremel to square out the hole on the bowl so the bolt can nest in flush. Alternatively, consider using traditional-headed bolts instead.
- Attach the bowls to the carriage bolts by placing them over the bolts. Ensure a secure fit and adjust the size of the bolts if necessary. Tighten the nuts on the underside to hold the bowls in place.
- Test the stability and adjust the position of the bowls if needed. Note that a toy may not be able to mount directly on top due to the hole around the bolt not being airtight. However, other angles should work well.
- Place a towel or protective covering underneath the setup to prevent any potential damage to sheets or surfaces.

Not Safe at All Ideas
We do not recommend trying these ideas at home. They are not safe and could cause harm to you or your partner:
Unsafe Materials
Just like homemade pussy pumps, most dildos made at home have materials that are not body-safe (jelly, TPE, etc) so there’s a high probability it will cause some sort of discomfort or even injury to your genitalia. It’s always best to avoid these materials altogether and stick to professionally manufactured sex toys.
Unstable Mounting Surfaces
You must use a stable and secure mounting surface when using a hands-free dildo. We strongly advise against using unstable surfaces, such as glass, mirrors, or other fragile materials. These surfaces can break or shatter in your vagina or anus causing immense pain. This problem also occurs on homemade sex machines, so be extra careful to avoid any accidents.
Homemade Adhesives
We do not recommend homemade adhesives to attach the suction cup to the dildo. Homemade adhesives may not be strong enough to hold the cup securely, leading to it falling off during use. This can cause injury to your vagina or damage surrounding objects.
How to Use Homemade Suction Cup Dildos?
When using DIY dildos with suction cups, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure maximum pleasure and safety. In this section, we will discuss how to choose the right sex position, the importance of foreplay and clitoral stimulation, and how to properly clean your toy.
- Choose a clean, smooth, and stable surface for attachment.
- Moisten the cup for better grip. Press and twist the dildo onto the surface firmly to create a tight seal.
- Test the suction by gently pulling to ensure it securely holds. If you’re in an uncomfortable position, adjust for pleasurable access to your g spot.
- Once you are in a comfortable position, apply water-based lube generously to the dildo and intimate areas.
- Lean forward and start slowly with shallow thrusts, gradually increasing depth and pace depending on your upper body strength.
- Explore different angles, movements, and thrusting patterns to get that realistic feel. Simultaneously stimulate other erogenous zones for heightened anal/vaginal pleasure.
- Take breaks if needed, prioritizing comfort and well-being. Forcing things is a bad idea.
- After use, detach the cup from the wall and clean it with warm water and mild soap or a cleaner.
Remember to prioritize safety, communication, and personal enjoyment throughout the experience. We have a guide that suggests sex positions that’ll help you hit your G-spot on any vertical surface may it be on the bed, on the shower wall, or even your toilet seat. You can read more about how to use a suction cup dildo right here.
Why Is it Better To Buy a Commercial Product?
This should go without saying but we say it anyway: real products top all homemade ideas. But if you want to read the specifics, here are some advantages of getting an authentic product:
Quality and Safety
When you purchase a hands-free dildo from a reputable manufacturer, you can be confident it’s made from high-quality materials that are safe for vaginal use and even anal penetration. These manufacturers have to adhere to strict safety standards and regulations, ensuring that their products are safe and non-toxic. On the other hand, when you make a DIY version, you cannot be sure about the quality or safety of the materials you use, which could lead to potential health risks.
When it comes to peak quality and safety, Lovehoney Curved has your back (image above). Made from high-quality silicone, the smooth silicone body and tapered tip significantly simplify penetration and handling. Plus it has a flared base making it the perfect companion for anal play even for complete beginners.
Durability
No homemade toy is designed to last. It’s not durable and may break or wear out quickly, sometimes even during use. When you stick with a real suction dildo, you can be sure that it will last for a long time, providing you with many pleasurable experiences. Aside from durability, manufacturers even make sure they produce realistic suction cup dildos that feel like a real penis to appease the Gods and Goddesses of intimacy and sex life.
Vixskin Maverick (product above) is one of our most realistic suction cup dildos. Of the dozens of models we reviewed, Maverick had the strongest suction base. Making it your best bet for the most realistic and effective suction dildo.
Convenience
A real product is designed to be used with ease and convenience. It’s easy to attach to any smooth surface, allowing more room for hands-free stimulation in your alone time. When you make a DIY dildo holder yourself, you may not get the same level of convenience, ease of use, and that certain realistic feeling. They also don’t stick very well to any wall and that detracts from the overall experience of the penetration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the best way to ensure the suction cup sticks securely during vaginal penetration?
To ensure a suction cup dildo sticks securely during penetration, clean and dry the surface, wet the suction cup slightly, press it firmly against the surface and minimize movement once in place. To maximize the pleasure, ensure you have the right length for your new toy.
Can suction cup dildos be used in the shower?
Yes, suction cup dildos can be used while taking a bath (even in a bathtub), but ensure the clean surface is free of soaps or oils that could affect the vacuum suction. Avoid excessive force or movement to prevent it from coming loose.
Are there any alternatives to using suction cups for a homemade dildo?
Yes, there are alternatives to suction cups for homemade dildos, such as using a handle or base, attaching it to a harness or strap-on device, or using a flat base rubber. For the dildo itself, if can find ideas in our homemade anal dildo article as it also talks about sex toys applicable to your vagina.
