Featured imageLook, mom! No hands! This thrill is what you’ll feel when you use a suction cup dildo for the first time. It’s truly an experience you can’t get from any other sex toy.

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to learn more about using a suction cup dildo and get the most pleasure out of it. It’s one of the hottest choices for some sexy penetrative play. Why’s that, you may be wondering? Because you can have fun with this sex toy completely hands-free. Solo or with your partner.

But Why Should I Buy One?

First and foremost, it’s for the ladies and gentlemen who want a hands-free orgasm. You’re getting the same amount of pleasure, if not more, without using your hands to hold a sex toy. Unanimously, hands-free pleasure with suction dildos is a favorite sex toy for every gender. It’s versatile precisely because of the suction cup feature you can mount on almost any surface.

If you are also curious to try hands-free riding – consider a suction cup dildo on your next purchase. This allows you to take advantage of your hands and use it to stimulate other parts of your body. Using one on your own will enable you to get into sensual positions that you can’t do with regular vibrators, dildos, or sex toys. (more on that here).

Additionally, for those looking for a more adventurous sex life – a great way to crank up the heat is to simulate a threesome with a suction cup dildo. You and your partner can have fun without having another person’s physical presence. Mind you, we know how initiating a threesome can be a bit awkward, whether with someone you know or don’t know.

And lastly, buying one is also the answer for couples who want to try pegging. Pegging is generally a hetero sexual practice for anal play (it’s when a hetero woman uses strap-on dildos to penetrate a hetero man in the anus). But it’s not limited to heterosexual couples. Anyone looking to hit the P-spot for pleasure can do so with a suction dildo.

Things To Look for When Buying A Product

Of course, with the numerous suction cup models on the market, how do you choose the right dildo for you? First, let’s take a look at all the essential things to consider when buying one.

  1. Material – Medical-grade silicone or body-safe silicone are some keywords you should be looking for when window shopping. Silicone toys are not only the most reliable and hygienic material to use but are also the most realistic feeling for internal delight.
  2. Size and length – You will find all sizes on the market. The main thing to look for is finding the right size and length. Do you want extra length? Or do you want something that isn’t too intimidating? In terms of the size, do you prefer thinner or thicker models? Compare each and find what gives you the most comfort to own and use.
  3. Colors – Colors are the most straightforward thing to look for. Many suction cup toys typically come in pink, beige, purple, blue, red,  yellow, or black. You can also find unique luminous colors and printed designs as well. Whichever color attracts you the most is the way to go. If your partner is involved in decision-making, they can put their two cents in.
  4. Realism – Realistic models vary in product design. Its material can either be very sturdy or very flexible. There are also details on the dildo that look like an actual penis, like the veins and testicles. For beginners, starting with a more flexible suction cup sex toy is suggested. While for more advanced BDSM, practitioners can opt for sturdier, pronounced ones. More on realistic dildos here.
  5. Curve and shape – Like all penises, the curves and shapes are unique. You can find curvy bent ones, wavy ones, with a tapered head, or straight suction dildos—the curve and shape matter depending on where you plan to mount your dildo. Whether you prefer a more flexible-shaped dildo or not, there’s one suited to your needs.
  6. Suction cup strength – Suction quality differs for each suction cup toy. A strong suction cup base is ideal and where you should look for this information is in customer reviews for each product listing. More often than not, you can trust what other users say about the suction cups.
  7. Price point – And finally, having taken into account all your preferences – it all boils down to price point. How much money are you willing to put out for a quality product? Luckily, many suction cup dildos are affordable, and these sex toys typically range from $20 to $40. Some premium models, like a vibrating model, cost a bit more, around $100. You can bear in mind that a suction cup dildo is for long-term use, and you are putting your money towards something that will make you feel good.

What Surfaces Are Best For Suction Cup Dildos?

Now that you’ve selected your suction cup dildo, you may be asking where can I mount it. Here are some examples of horizontal and vertical surfaces to explore on your own or with your partner.

Shower Walls

The 5-star experience you’re looking for is in your shower wall. It is the most suction cup-friendly surface out there. Plus, it’s easy to get into the mood with nice hot shower water running down your body. It’s literally steamy there.

A suction cup dildo mounted on a shower wall

Mount your suction cup dildo on the shower wall slightly below hip height. If it has a curve, ensure it points upward to get the angle right for vaginal penetration. You may face against the wall for better movements, arch your bag, and keep your hands steady around your shower wall.

The gentle slide into your suction cup dildo or lifting one leg gives you deeper penetration. Thrust your body in and out of it to find the rhythm until it becomes climactic for you.

Pro Tip: Use a thicker lube that doesn’t damage the material. Also, avoid the shower door, especially if it’s made of glass.

Kitchen Counter Edge

The edge of your kitchen counter is another excellent horizontal surface position that perfectly hits the G-spot. And, you can fulfill your sexual kitchen fantasies by doing it in this area of your house.

Place your suction cup dildo on your kitchen counter by mounting it at the proper height. Make sure to add some lube to it first. Don’t forget this step anywhere you do it!

Then, place both your arms on the countertop for support as you gently begin penetrating your vaginal opening. You should be pushing your weight off (almost at tiptoe) to hit the sweet spot. Keep on thrusting your hips forward and backward until you feel amazing orgasms.

You may also explore around with foreplay by taking advantage of the position. Clitoral stimulation is perfectly accessible to tease your vagina with the penis head. Optionally, if you want to explore a sitting or squatting position, you can mount it on top of the kitchen counter, and it should work just as well.

The Floor

The floor is a vertical surface you can’t go wrong with and can be in the most comfortable position while riding your suction dildos. This is the number one surface to use for beginners. Just be sure to start with a nice, clean floor.

A suction cup dildo attached to the floor

Pro Tip: You can’t mount your suction cup dildo on carpeted areas; this only works on tiled or hardwood floors. Fortunately, tiled and hardwood floors can be found anywhere around your house, like the kitchen floor, bedroom floor, or bathroom floor.

You can use the floor and be in two of the sexiest positions: sitting position or prone. Firstly, let’s dive into the sitting position – you will need to use a pillow on your butt for support. Stick it on your floor and place both hands behind your hips to support your body. Then, lift your hips and legs as you tip the dildo to your opening. Guide it inside your body and enjoy hands-free pleasure.

Next, do this in a prone or plank-like position. You need to get into a yogi cobra pose. Place your body in front of your suction cup dildo. Reach one hand to gently guide it inside your body. If you’re with your partner, you can perform head while receiving pleasure from the toy. Or, you can do double penetration by having him enter from behind.

Toilet Seat

A little Avante Garde, but the toilet seat chair is another surface suitable for solo play. It’s a very straightforward way to receive pleasure from your dildos. Close the lid on your toilet seat and stick it in the middle of your toilet cover. Preferably your toilet lid is a flat surface and isn’t a dome-shaped lid, though this should still be able to work.

Your legs are spread on opposite sides of your toilet seat. You are in a straddle position, and slowly lower yourself down. Always add lube to the dildo and tip it towards your vaginal opening. Ta-da! That’s all there is to it. Enjoy riding your new toy and hit that g-spot.

Pro Tip: The bathtub edge is also an excellent place to attach it.

Edge Of A Chair Or Sofa

This next surface is prime time to perform one of everyone’s favorite sex positions, the doggy-style position. The edge of a sofa or couch chair is a secret little spot to achieve doggy-style penetration on your own. Again, one limitation of this surface is it only works for sofas or couch chairs with a smooth surface like leather.

Stick it on a chair’s or sofa’s edge at 180°. It should be approximately the same height as your vaginal opening when you’re down on all fours. Then, get down on your hands and knees before the suction cup dildo. Move your hips back as you use your hand to guide it inside. It’s genuinely the perfect toy to get some doggy-style action without a partner.

A Thin Wall Strip

A thin strip of wall is an area anywhere around your house that is narrow and sticks out from a corner. Generally, you can find this wall strip around your kitchen or living room. It’s almost as if the narrow strip of concrete was designed for this purpose by magic.

The main advantage of doing it on this surface is allowing you to bend your knees without spreading your legs too far apart and tiring you out. The position you’re in is effortless yet sexy.

It is also the best surface to use for vaginal and anal penetration – with the correct length of the toy. Face forward or face away from the thin wall strip to perform your desired form of penetration. Thanks to the narrow strip of wall you’re grinding against, your legs are a hip distance apart.

Nightstand

If you can use your suction cup anywhere in your bedroom, your nightstand is another way for you to do it in your bedroom. This is another vertical position to hit the g-spot that’s low in effort but maximum in pleasure.

The height of your nightstand will matter – and a standard hip-height nightstand is ideal. If you want to make it work but do not have the right nightstand height, you may consider a suction cup dildo mount.

Just stick your suction cup dildo around your nightstand’s front left or front right corner and face away from the table. Use your arms to support your body and arch your back slightly. Then, lower yourself onto it and bounce up and down.

Mirrors

How to use a suction cup dildo on a mirror? It’s easy. You can find wall mirrors securely attached to the wall or lay flat on the ground with a body-length mirror and watch yourself ride it out.

This one’s a kinkier surface but who doesn’t love a kinky setting? If you’re mounting your dildo on a wall mirror, angle it so you receive it the right way. This is where curved models that face upward win the race and are most likely your best bet, if not a firm suction cup dildo.

Stretch out your arms and place them on the wall for support. Imagine you’re in a standing sex position, but you’re the giving partner this time. Thrust your hips in and out, and it should feel amazing.

Please note you need to be very careful when mounting a dildo on a mirror or glass surface. Ensure it’s not broken and do slow movements. You do this at your own risk, and we are not responsible for any injuries or damages!

Interior Doors

Doors are sturdy, making them a great option to stick your suction dildos on. Shower doors, bedroom doors, backyard doors, or anywhere with a hardwood door you want to try standing penetration on.

Make sure the door you chose doesn’t swing open as this can cause some injuries, and we don’t want that. We’re only here for a good time, after all.

You want to make sure you mount it in the middle or far enough away from the doorknob. We find that if you do it facing away from the door, you can stimulate other body parts better while riding against the door. Your partner can kiss your breasts, play with your clit, or they can receive head. Couples play as wide as your imagination takes you is very doable on this surface.

Not Suitable On The Following Surfaces

On the other hand, many products will not adhere or stick on surfaces that are textured, porous, or soft. Avoid mounting your suction cup dildo on textured or patterned surfaces, as it will not work. Focus on any smooth surfaces that are solid and sturdy.

If you want to get that extra strong suction, you may add water to the suction cup ring before pressing it on your desired surface.

How To Use A Suction Cup Dildo For The First Time

1. Wash It

When you first receive it, wash your suction cup dildo. This makes it safe and hygienic to use. You can wash it under running warm water or with a damp washcloth soaked in warm water. Be sure to use a mild soap or an intimate wash to keep your toy in mint condition. Optionally, if you have a toy cleaner from the same shop where you purchased your dildo, that is a suitable option.

Cleaning Sex Toys In The Sink

Make sure to properly clean the shaft, head of your dildo, and the suction cup before and after every use, primarily focusing on the head and shaft as this is where bodily fluids stay.

2. Find A Suitable Surface And Clean It

Then once your dildo is dry and ready to use – the next thing you want to do is to find the area in your house where you want to use it first. Wipe the surface with a damp washcloth and leave it to air dry. If you’re desired surface is in the bath or shower, you may simply rinse off the shower walls, and it should be ready for your suction cup dildo to stick on.

3. Attach The Dildo

When it comes to attaching your suction cup dildo, it’s a pretty straightforward method. Raise the suction cup dildo and push it down with force to your desired surface. It should mount properly –  but if you want that extra secureness to create a tight seal throughout your session, you can add some water to the suction cup.

Run it under a faucet and shake out any excess water. You simply want to ensure the suction cup edges are wet before sticking it onto a surface. The hold should be a lot tighter than the former method.

4. Make Sure It’s Angled Correctly

When you mount suction toys on the wall, they can easily face sideways and turn at a different angle. While it’s great to explore other angles down the line – you want to make sure you position it the right way on your chosen surface.

If your model has a curve, it should be positioned facing upward and centered as well as possible. If you are on a standing surface, tilting your dildo northeast or northwest is a great way to hit the sweet spot. Just explore which one feels best for you.

5. Add Lube

Now let’s talk about lube! Surely we all want extra stimulation in our bodies to feel waves of pleasure. The best answer is lube. Your best bet is a water-based lube, especially if it’s silicone material (as most suction cup dildos come in).

A man holding a lube bottle

Apply a thick layer of water-based lube, whether scented or not, and spread it evenly on your dildo. You should have a nice even layer of lube ready for you to slide into.

6. Relax, Create a Setting, And Get Into The Mood

There’s no better way to get into the mood than to create a sexy vibe in your room. Fuel your fantasies during solo play or with a partner. If a cozy setting helps you relax and get into the mood – try dimming the lights or using colored LED lights and setting the vibe, get lighted scented candles, close your curtains (or not), and play a sensual playlist.

Romantic Bedroom

You can even do self-care practices beforehand, like running a bath and applying your favorite products to your body. Do whatever makes you feel sexy and do it in your most comfortable environment.

7. Create a fantasy

Use your good ole’ fashioned imagination and let it run its course. Fantasies and desires in your mind from the day can help you feel aroused. Try closing your eyes and playing it in your head until you start to feel horny and wet.

Another option to get your fantasies going is to listen to erotica audio or watch porn. Research has shown that listening to erotica can be one of the most successful practices women can utilize to achieve sexual satisfaction. This is because audio erotica emphasizes the arousal of the mind so that the body can follow.

If you’re with a partner, forms of foreplay can help spike up sexual arousal. Introduce dirty talk, or dress up into a sexy character you each have fantasies about. And once and for all, it’s about time to introduce a suction sex toy to the mix.

8. Mount the dildo slowly

Now it comes down to the best part – mounting your dildo slowly but surely. It’s stuck on a steady surface, you’ve lubed it up, and you’re aroused, making you ready to take it in. Your upper body can lean forward while your lower body squats down to meet the head.

A woman mounting her dildo

Use your hands to guide it into your vagina if you’re going for vaginal use, and guide it to your anus for anal use. If you’re having partnered sex, they can watch you or help you mount the dildo while engaging in other forms of pleasure.

9. Start moving or riding

Once it’s inside you, you can ride it out by moving your hips forward and backward. Moving it in a circular motion is also a stimulating way to feel intense sensations. You can thrust your body in and out of the dildo for standing positions to get things going.

Start with shallow thrusts. If you’re riding it horizontally, move your body up and down sensually, similar to cowboy style.

When You Want To Spice Things Up

Now, if you’re looking to take things up a notch, there are always options for you to spice things up more fully. Here are four easy ways to change up an already pleasurable experience.

Try different positions

There’s more than one right way of doing this. Some positions you can play around with are cowboy, doggy style, queening or bouncing, straddling, lap dance, and spooning – if you find a surface safe enough.

A woman using a suction dildo in the shower

Cowboy and doggy-style are two positions that need no explanation. They’re two classics you can always find pleasure in. Queening is when you’re in an Asian sit, and your dildo is in front of you. Have a mirror in front to watch yourself, and you’ll feel like a queen.

Straddling is when your knees are touching the ground or surface, and you’re almost in a twerk-like position. At the same time, a lap dance is straddling but facing the opposite direction of your chair or nightstand, similar to giving someone a lap dance.

You can find the best suction cup dildo positions in this guide.

Add more sex toys

The world is your oyster when it comes to sex toys. Who says you should stop at one? You shouldn’t and don’t need to. Introduce another sex toy like a butt plug or vibrator to focus on other erogenous zones in your body. Get that clitoral or anal stimulation as you receive penetration from your dildo.

Duo, Satisfyer Pro 2, Womanizer 2, Sila, and Sona

Using more than one sex toy would limit you in the positions and surfaces you’re going for, but it’s most doable on the floor or bathtub. You have the freedom to use your hands however you wish. That’s why your suction model rock – it’s hands-free pleasure.

Use it during partnered sex

Simulate a threesome with your partner with double penetration or oral sex. We understand how threesomes are not for everybody, but if you and your partner are looking for a spicy yet easy way to experience it together – the dildo is your answer. You’re both exploring new ways to stimulate yourselves without involving another person. Don’t know how to suck a dildo? Read our guide to find out more!

Plus, the roles can be reversed. You or your partner can try using it for oral sex or pegging for the first time. There’s no wrong way to go about this threesome with your sex accomplice.

Try and achieve a hands-free orgasm (Sissygasm)

They say that working towards a goal makes any activity more exciting. Achieve a hands-free orgasm or a sissygasm by challenging yourself through hands-free fun. Just remember to take your time in doing so. You may not achieve it after the first time, which is perfectly okay. Instead, slowly work towards it.

Find the methods of pleasure that feel good to you without using your hands. It’ll be a difficult adjustment initially; however, the outcome is worth all the effort, giving you time to explore new ways to pleasure yourself and find new things to like about it.
