Getting Started: What You Need
Choose the Right Size
For beginners:
|
Size |
Length |

|
Small |
4-5 inches |
First-timers, gentle exploration |
|
Medium |
6-7 inches |
Some experience, comfortable depth |
|
Large |
8+ inches |
Experienced, deep penetration |
Thickness matters too: Start thinner if you're new. You can always size up later.
Important: Bigger isn't always better. Comfort matters most.
Must-Have Supplies
Before you start:
- Water-based lubricant - Essential for comfort
- Toy cleaner or mild soap - For cleaning before and after
- Towel - For cleanup
- Privacy - Lock the door!
Optional but helpful:
- Pillows for positioning
- Mirror to watch yourself
- Additional toy for external stimulation
Step-by-Step: How to Use It
Step 1: Clean Everything First
Always start clean:
- Wash the dildo with mild soap and warm water
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry completely
- Clean the surface where you'll stick it
- Make sure both are totally dry
Why this matters: Moisture, dust, or oils prevent good suction and can cause infections.
Understanding sex toy hygiene keeps you safe.
Step 2: Find the Perfect Surface
Best surfaces for strong suction:
Works great:
- Glass (mirrors, shower walls)
- Smooth tiles (bathroom, kitchen)
- Polished wood (furniture, floors)
- Hard plastic (chairs, tables)
- Metal (some furniture)
Won't work:
- Textured walls
- Painted surfaces (may chip)
- Fabric or carpet
- Rough wood
- Wallpaper
Quick test: If the surface feels smooth when you run your hand over it, it'll probably work.
Step 3: Stick It Firmly
How to get good suction:
- Clean both surfaces - Wipe with damp cloth, let dry
- Press down hard - Use your palm to push firmly
- Give it a twist - Slight rotation locks it in
- Pull test - Tug gently to make sure it's secure
- Adjust if needed - Restick if it feels loose
Pro tip: Slightly dampen the suction cup base (not dripping wet) if it won't stick. This can improve the seal.
Step 4: Apply Lots of Lube
How much lube to use:
Too little: Causes friction, discomfort, even pain
Just right: Everything slides smoothly and feels good
Rule of thumb: Use way more than you think you need. You can't use too much lube.
Important: Only use water-based lube with silicone toys. Silicone lube damages silicone toys.
Learn about choosing the right lubricant for your body.
Step 5: Get Into Position
Start slow:
- Position yourself near the toy
- Apply lube to yourself too
- Line up carefully
- Insert just the tip first
- Breathe and relax
- Go deeper slowly as it feels comfortable
Never rush insertion. Your body needs time to adjust.

Best Positions to Try
1. Cowgirl (Floor or Chair)
How to do it:
Stick dildo to floor or chair seat. Straddle it facing forward or backward. Lower yourself slowly onto it. Control depth by how far you squat down.
Why it's great: You control everything - depth, speed, angle.
Tips: Place pillows under knees for comfort. Start shallow, go deeper gradually.
2. Doggy Style (Wall)
How to do it:
Stick dildo to wall at hip height. Stand facing away from wall. Back up onto the dildo slowly. Adjust height until angle feels perfect.
Why it's great: Mimics partner sex from behind. Leaves hands free.
Tips: Use a mirror to watch. Bend knees slightly for better angle.
3. Bathtub Squat
How to do it:
Stick dildo to bathtub floor or side. Straddle it with feet on tub edges. Lower yourself onto it. Use tub sides for balance.
Why it's great: Easy cleanup. Warm water helps you relax.
Tips: Make sure surface isn't slippery. Go slow - bathtubs are hard.
4. Lying Down (Headboard or Furniture)
How to do it:
Stick dildo to headboard or low furniture. Lie on your back. Scoot down until it enters. Use pillows under hips for angle.
Why it's great: Comfortable, relaxed position. Good for longer sessions.
Tips: Adjust pillow height to find perfect angle.
5. Standing (Shower Wall)
How to do it:
Stick dildo to shower wall. Stand facing wall or facing away. Back onto it or move forward onto it. Adjust height for comfort.
Why it's great: Easy cleanup. Warm water relaxing.
Tips: Make sure dildo is waterproof. Watch for slippery floors.

Tips for Better Experience
Control Your Movement
Try different motions:
- Up and down - Basic bouncing motion
- Rock back and forth - Grinding motion
- Circular hip movements - Hits different spots
- Fast then slow - Vary your rhythm
- Shallow then deep - Mix up penetration depth
The key: Experiment to find what feels best for you.
Use Your Hands
Since they're free, try:
- External stimulation - Touch clitoris or other sensitive areas
- Use another toy - Add a vibrator
- Play with nipples - Extra stimulation
- Hold onto something - For balance and control
- Record or photograph - If that's your thing (privately!)
For those exploring dual stimulation, pairing with compact vibrating options enhances the hands-free experience. A discreet external toy leaves you in complete control while the suction dildo stays perfectly positioned.
Add Variety
Ways to mix it up:
Watch yourself in a mirror - Very arousing for many people
Try different rooms - Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom
Change positions mid-session - Don't stick to just one
Add fantasy - Use your imagination
Vary depth and speed - Keep it interesting
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Problem: Won't Stick
Solutions:
- Clean surface better - Use damp cloth, let dry
- Try different surface - Some work better than others
- Dampen suction cup slightly - Just a tiny bit of water
- Press harder - Really push down firmly
- Check for damage - Make sure suction cup isn't torn
Problem: Keeps Popping Off
Solutions:
- Don't use too much force - Gentle movements last longer
- Angle affects suction - Try different angles
- Reapply periodically - Push down mid-session if needed
- Avoid lube on base - Keep suction cup dry
- Choose smoother surface - Upgrade your location
Problem: Uncomfortable or Hurts
Solutions:

- Try smaller size - Nothing wrong with sizing down
- Change angle - Small adjustments make big difference

Solutions:
- Adjust height - Move dildo up or down on surface

Keep trying different combinations until it clicks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size suction cup dildo should I start with?
Beginners should start with a small to medium size (4-6 inches length, 1-1.5 inches width). This lets you get comfortable with the sensation and positioning without being overwhelming. You can always upgrade to larger sizes once you know what you enjoy.
Can I use suction cup dildos in the shower?
Yes, if your dildo is waterproof. Check the product specifications first. Stick it to smooth tile or glass shower walls. Be careful of slippery surfaces and make sure the dildo is firmly attached before using. Never stick it to glass shower doors that aren't properly secured.
Why won't my suction cup stay stuck?
Common reasons include: dirty or wet surfaces, textured walls, lube getting on the suction cup, not pressing firmly enough, or damaged suction cup. Clean both the surface and cup, press down hard with a slight twist, and test the hold before using.
How do I know which lube to use?
Always use water-based lubricant with silicone toys - it's safe and won't damage the material. Avoid silicone-based lube with silicone toys as it can degrade the toy. Check your toy's material before choosing lube.
Conclusion
Using a suction cup dildo opens up hands-free pleasure possibilities limited only by your imagination and available flat surfaces. Start with the right size, use plenty of lube, find surfaces that create strong suction, and experiment with different positions until you discover what feels amazing.
Take your time, listen to your body, and remember that practice makes perfect - soon you'll be enjoying hands-free pleasure like a pro.
