How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo: Simple Beginner's Guide

Want to try hands-free pleasure? A suction cup dildo sticks to smooth surfaces like walls, floors, or shower tiles, giving you freedom to explore different positions without using your hands.

This beginner-friendly guide covers everything: choosing the right size, where to stick it, best positions, safety tips, and how to clean it properly.

Who Should Try Suction Cup Dildos?

These toys work great for:

Beginners wanting hands-free exploration
Anyone curious about different positions
People wanting both hands free during play
Those interested in G-spot or prostate stimulation
Couples looking to add variety
Solo players wanting creative options

Main benefit: Your hands stay free to touch other body parts or use additional toys.

What Is a Suction Cup Dildo?

Simple explanation: A suction cup dildo is a regular dildo with a wide, flat suction cup attached to the bottom. This cup sticks to smooth surfaces so the dildo stays in place while you move.

Why it's different:

• Regular dildos need a hand to hold them
• Suction cup dildos stick to surfaces hands-free
• You control movement with your body, not your hands

What you can do:

• Stick it to walls, floors, or furniture
• Ride it like you're on top during sex
• Use it from behind while it's on a wall
• Keep both hands free for other stimulation

Step-by-Step: How to Use It Safely

Step 1: Choose the Right Size

For beginners:

• Start with thin width (1-1.5 inches diameter)
• Try shorter length first (4-6 inches)
• Work up to bigger sizes slowly

Size guide:

Important: It's always easier to go bigger later than deal with discomfort from starting too big.

Step 2: Use LOTS of Lube

Why lube matters: Your body doesn't make enough natural lubrication for toys. Lube prevents friction, discomfort, and pain.

How much to use:

• More than you think you need
• Coat the whole dildo generously
• Reapply every 10-15 minutes
• Never skip this step!

Lube types:

Golden rule: Use water-based lube with silicone toys. Silicone lube damages silicone material.

Step 3: Find a Good Surface

Best surfaces to stick to:

• Smooth tiles (shower, bathroom)
• Glass (mirrors, shower doors)
• Smooth painted walls
• Polished wood furniture
• Plastic surfaces (bathtub edge)
• Metal (smooth, not textured)

Surfaces that DON'T work:

1. Textured or bumpy walls
2. Fabric or carpet
3. Rough wood
4. Wallpaper
5. Surfaces with grease or dirt

How to make it stick better:

• Clean the surface with water
• Dry it completely
• Wet the suction cup slightly
• Press firmly for 30 seconds
• Test by pulling gently before use

Step 4: Get Comfortable First

Before inserting:

• Take 10-15 minutes to relax
• Touch yourself to get aroused
• Use fingers or smaller toy first if needed
• Don't rush—arousal makes everything easier

For vulva owners:

• Try clitoral stimulation first
• Wait until you feel naturally wet
• Add arousal tools from Jissbon if helpful

For anal use:

• Start with fingers to stretch gently
• Use butt plugs first to prepare
• Go even slower than vaginal use
• Never skip warm-up for anal

Understanding how arousal works helps you know when your body is ready.

Step 5: Insert Slowly

How to start:

• Position yourself near the dildo
• Add extra lube to the tip
• Guide it to your opening with your hand
• Push down/back slowly
• Stop if anything hurts
• Breathe deeply and relax muscles

Tips for comfort:

• Take breaks between pushing deeper
• Don't force anything
• Listen to your body
• Remove it if pain happens
• Try different angles if needed

Step 6: Find Your Rhythm

Once it's in:

• Start with small, slow movements
• Rock your hips back and forth
• Try going up and down
• Experiment with circular motions
• Find what feels best

Advanced moves:

• Lean forward for G-spot stimulation (vulva owners)
• Angle for prostate contact (penis owners)
• Rotate hips to hit different spots
• Change depth and speed
• Use other toys at same time

Keep both hands free for:

• Clitoral stimulation
• Nipple touching
• Body massage
• Holding a compact bullet toy

Frequently Asked Question

Do suction cup dildos work for anal play?

Yes, but ONLY if the dildo has a flared base wider than the widest part of the toy. This prevents it from getting stuck inside. Regular suction cups don't count as safe bases for anal use—the base must be solid and impossible to insert.

How do I make the suction cup stick better?

Clean and dry both the surface and suction cup completely. Slightly dampen the suction cup with water, then press firmly against a smooth surface for 30 seconds. Test by pulling gently before use. Rough or textured surfaces won't work well.

Can I use suction cup dildos in the shower?

Yes! Shower tiles are perfect smooth surfaces. Make sure your dildo is waterproof (most are). Use water-resistant lube and reapply often since water washes regular lube away. Be careful—wet surfaces can be slippery.

What if the dildo is too long or too wide?

Never force a toy that doesn't fit comfortably. Start with smaller sizes and work up gradually over weeks or months. You can always control depth by not pushing all the way down—you don't have to use the full length.

How often should I replace my suction cup dildo?

Replace it when you notice: tears or cracks in material, suction cup not sticking well anymore, discoloration that won't clean off, or rough/sticky texture developing. Quality silicone toys can last many years with proper care.

Conclusion

Suction cup dildos offer hands-free pleasure and position variety that regular dildos can't match. Start with the right size, use plenty of lube, find comfortable positions, and always prioritize safety and cleanliness. Take your time exploring what works for your body—there's no rush to master every position right away.
