How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo: 5 Beginner-Friendly Positions

Learn how to use a suction cup dildo with these beginner-friendly tips. Discover the best positions, safety advice, and cleaning tips to enhance your solo play sessions

The suction cup dildo is a versatile, hands-free toy perfect for solo sessions or partnered play. Easy to use and beginner-friendly, it lets you explore different angles, positions, and motions safely, making your experience both exciting and accessible.

What Is a Suction Cup Dildo and How Does It Work?

If you’re new to suction cup dildos, don’t worry - they’re easy to use. These toys come in materials like silicone, TPE, and rubber, so you can pick the texture and firmness that suits you best. To get started, simply press the suction cup base firmly against a flat, stable, and smooth surface until it sticks. Once secured, you can explore penetration vaginally or anally, trying different angles and positions for hands-free fun that’s safe and beginner friendly.

Preparing for Play

Before you start, clean and sanitize your suction cup dildo to keep things safe and hygienic. Choose a compatible lubricant - water-based is best for silicone toys - to ensure smooth, comfortable use. Make sure the surface you’re attaching the suction cup to is flat, stable, and secure. Finally, consider the size and girth of the dildo, the firmness of the material, and whether it has a flared base - especially if you plan to use it for anal play. A flared base prevents the toy from being fully inserted, keeping things safe, while the right size and firmness ensure comfort and control. Thinking about these factors beforehand can help make your experience both safe and highly enjoyable.

Beginner Friendly Suction Cup Dildo Positions

Here are all the wonderful ways beginners can explore the usage of their suction cup dildos!

1. Doggy-Style Backing Up

A standard and to some, a favourite. Placing suction cup dildos on any vertical flat surface allows the user to back into it for some solo doggy style, either kneeling or standing.

This is also a great way to mix things up with your partner and meet double penetration fantasies without having to include someone else. Or pair this position with your favourite vibrator to have an orgasm that's quite literally off the wall!

2. Mirror Play

Attaching a suction cup dildo to a mirror is just like suctioning it to the wall. It can be extremely arousing seeing yourself going at it so look back at it fondly or put a mirror in front of you to do the old double mirror trick you used to do when cutting the back of your hair.

The only thing you'll need to consider is how sturdy the mirror is, you know yourself how crazy things can get when you’re getting down to business. So, be careful when attaching your suction cup dildo to a mirror. Coloursoft Soft Dildo$71.95Shop Now

3. Seated Position

One of the most popular ways to use suction cup dildos is to attach them to any flat horizontal surface and sit down. Whenever using this method, it's important to make sure the chair or surface you are using is stable!

The more stable it is the easier you will find it to keep hitting that perfect angle and stay in rhythm once you find it. Usually, you can use the chair to help you keep in good rhythm, holding the arms or grasping the front of the seat are common techniques. It's likely you will never look at a chair the same again.

4. Strap-On Harness Integration

Attaching a suction cup dildo to a strap on harness means you can use it anyway you want with a partner! In any room, any position, any angle and any suction cup dildo. Just pick your favourite suction cup dildo that pairs with the specific harness and the world is your hoister. For more information, check out ourStrap On Dildos for Beginners Guide.

5. Bath Play

The bath is a unique place to attach a suction cup dildo, because it can be a super comfortable way to use a dildo whilst lying on your back, although this only works for baths where you can put your legs over either side or one end of the bath.

Suction the dildo to the end of the bath, put your legs over the side of the bath and motion into it, like if your legs were over your partner's shoulder during missionary. The only downside is you can’t do this with too much water, or if you do your head may be slightly submerged and you’ll be splashing water everywhere. The main thing you want to ensure is that there is enough water to make sliding back in forth in the bath friction free.

Tip: While water can provide natural lubrication, it can also wash away your body’s natural lubrication. Using a water-based lubricant can enhance comfort and pleasure during bath play. Also, ensure the bath surface is secure to avoid slipping.

Tips for Safe Use

Whichever way you plan on using your suction cup dildo, make sure the surface you attach it to is stable. This not only helps everything feel better, but it’s also the safest option.

Check suction adhesion and stability before insertion: Always press the suction cup firmly onto a smooth, flat surface and give it a gentle tug to ensure it’s secure. A slipping toy can be uncomfortable or unsafe.
Use proper lubrication: Using a compatible lubricant can reduce friction and enhance comfort. This is especially important for bath play or prolonged sessions.
Start small if you’re new: If you’re new to penetration or suction cup play, begin with smaller toys or gentler movements. This allows your body to adjust and helps you find what feels best.
Ensure a flared base for safety: A flared base prevents the toy from being inserted too far, keeping solo and partnered play safe and stress-free.

Choosing the Right Suction Cup Dildo

Whenever choosing a suction cup dildo, consider the material, size, firmness, and level of realism that suits you best. For example, you might prefer the skin-like feel of a realistic dildo or the firmer texture of a rubber toy. Beginners may want to start with smaller, more manageable toys, while advanced users can explore larger or more complex options.

Think about how you plan to use it - solo play or partnered sessions can affect what style and size will work best. And always make sure the dildo has a flared base for safe suction play.
