How to Use a Suction Dildo: A Detailed Guide

Introduction

Suction dildos are the multitaskers of the sex toy drawer. Equal parts thrilling and practical, they stick to flat surfaces so you can get hands-free, grind-happy, go-at-your-own-pace pleasure without needing a partner or with one, if you’re in the mood to share.

They’re not just for solo play (although they absolutely shine there). Suction dildos are perfect for spicing things up with a partner, exploring power play, or adding a layer of depth literally to your usual routine. Whether you're aiming for targeted G-spot stimulation, pegging, or just experimenting with a new position, this toy adapts to the moment.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know: from how to prep your toy and find the perfect surface, to which positions feel chef’s kiss and tips for making the most of every thrust. No awkward fumbling, no guesswork! Here's your no-BS, shame-free, grin-inducing guide to using a suction dildo like the main character you are.

1. Get Ready, Gorg! Prep Before You Pounce

Before you stick it and ride it like a cowgirl late for happy hour, you’ve got to set the scene. Think clean toy, strong suction, and surfaces smoother than your chat after two wines.

Clean Vibes Only

We love a good mess but not that kind. A clean toy is a happy (and safe) toy, so show your suction dildo a little love before and after each session.

Here’s your 30-second hygiene rundown:

• Use warm water + unscented soap (or a toy cleaner if you're fancy).
  

• Pay special attention to the nooks: base, shaft, suction cup basically anywhere lube likes to throw a party.
  

• Let it air dry or pat it down with a clean, lint-free towel.
  

Where to Stick It (and Where Not To)

Let’s talk foundations. For that suction to really grip, you’ll need a smooth, clean, non-porous surface. Top performers include:

• Shower walls and glass doors (your bathroom just became a boudoir)
  

• Glazed tiles
  

• Polished wood (yes, headboards count)
  

• Bathtubs
  

• Certain plastic or metal surfaces
  

Swipe left on:

• Textured walls
  

• Fabric (duh)
  

• Dusty anything
  

Basically, if it feels a bit bumpy or soft, it’s a no-go. Your suction dildo needs a vacuum seal to stay stuck like emotional attachment, but healthier.

Quick wipe = stronger grip. Grab a damp cloth, give your surface a swipe, and you’re good to go. Smooth = success. Slippery = disaster.

2. Mount It Like You Mean Business

You’ve cleaned it, you’ve scoped out the perfect spot now it’s time to stick that baby down like your orgasm depends on it (because, well... it might).

Should You Moisten the Suction Cup?

Short answer? Maybe.

Sometimes a teeny-tiny bit of moisture helps the suction grip harder than your ex clung to “closure.” It’s kind of like licking a stamp optional, but can help things stick.

But be warned: if you go overboard and lube up the base, your dildo’s going to do the cha-cha across the tiles mid-session. Not ideal. If you’re unsure, go dry first. Still slipping? Add a drop of water just a drop and test again.

The Sticky (Successful) Mounting Method

Mounting isn’t about muscle, it's about technique. Here’s how to get that toy on LOCK:

1. Press the suction base flat against your chosen surface (smooth and clean, of course).
   

2. Use your palm or body weight to push out any sneaky air bubbles.
   

3. Hold it in place for a few seconds. Let that suction set like a well-earned boundary.
   

4. Give it a tug. Still holding firm? You’re officially cleared for takeoff.
   

If it lifts like a loose Post-it, don’t panic. Wipe, press harder, and try again. It’s not you, it’s probably the surface.

Nail the suction and you unlock hands-free grinding, thrusting, bouncing and not one awkward interruption in sight. We call that freedom.

3. Lube It Up Without Slipping Out

Lube is the unsung hero of great sex. It’s the difference between “meh” and mind-blown. But with suction play? A little strategy goes a long way. You want things slick, not sliding across the bathroom floor like a runaway bath toy.

Let’s Talk Lube Compatibility

Not all lubes vibe with all toys. Here’s the cheat sheet:

• Water-based lube: The MVP. Safe for all materials (including silicone toys), super easy to clean, but might need a top-up mid-session.
  

• Silicone-based lube: Long-lasting and extra slippery. But if your toy is also silicone? That’s a no-go. Silicone-on-silicone = toy damage city.
  

• Still confused? Stick with water-based and you can’t go wrong especially if you’re new to the game.
  

Where to Lube (and Where Not To)

Biggest rookie mistake? Getting the suction base greasy.

Instead:

• Slather up the shaft and head aka the parts doing the work.
  

• Add lube to your body, especially if you’re trying new angles or positions.
  

• Keep the base bone dry. Seriously. A lubed-up base has the sticking power of a soggy Post-it note.
  

The vibe: Mess where it matters, grip where it counts.

4. Positions That’ll Make You Blush (In A Great Way)

Whether you’re playing solo or starring in a partner performance, suction dildos like Dilly let you take control, explore new angles, and find your rhythm - no helping hands required!

Ready to ride? Let’s get positional.

Solo Play Faves

• Cowgirl / Reverse Cowgirl
  Stick it to the floor, table, or chair then straddle your dildo. Facing forward gives you visual stimulation and clit access. Turn around for a deep grind that hits different. Experiment with moving your legs closer together and further apart. 

• Doggy Against the Wall
  Suction it to a vertical surface (tiles, mirror, etc.) and back that booty up. Ideal for deep penetration. Adjust the height to find your Goldilocks zone if needed.
  
• Shower Power
  Steam. Water. Pleasure. Stick your toy to a clean, tiled wall or shower floor. Squat onto the ground of the shower, stand, kneel - whatever feels good. Just be careful not to slip and be VERY careful if using lube in the shower (pleasure shouldn’t require first aid).

Partnered Play Magic

Best Suction Dildo Positions As Submitted By You

To top things off, we asked our Instagram followers at @girlsgetoff 'What's your fav way to use Dilly?'

And we weren't disappointed..... Pregnancy, couples, and solo positions. Eat your heart out!

• Harness Heaven
  Many suction dildos like Dilly can into a harness for pegging.

• Toys + Hands Combo
  While your toy goes to town, you (or your partner) can play (slow) DJ on the clit, tease your nipples, or even add a second toy. Want to try double penetration? Go for it. You’re not limited you’re liberated.

• Mutual Mayhem
  Use Dilly on yourself while watching or being watched. It’s hot, simple, and surprisingly connective. Bonus spice if you switch roles halfway and take turns being the show.

When it comes to suction dildo positions, there’s no one-size-fits-all. The key is experimentation, comfort, and listening to your body. Ride it, back onto it, lean against it whatever makes you gasp.

5. Advanced Techniques to Level Up Your Orgasm

Once you’ve got the basics down, it’s time to take things up a notch. Suction dildos aren’t just about thrusting they’re about discovering new ways to experience deep, focused pleasure. These tips are for when you’re ready to move from “ooh” to “holy hell, what was that?”

G-Spot & P-Spot Stimulation

The G-spot and P-spot both respond beautifully to pressure and angled stimulation. The trick is tilting the dildo slightly upwards before you ride or back onto it.

• For G-spot play (vaginal): Angle the toy toward your belly button.
  

• For P-spot play (prostate): Angle the toy toward the front wall of the rectum, about two inches in.
  

Keep the thrusts shallow and rhythmic think controlled pulses, not jackhammery. Focused motion on these spots is far more effective than frantic.

Twist and Shout

Once inserted, don’t be afraid to gently twist the dildo in place. That rotational movement can create entirely new sensations as it brushes against different nerve endings. It’s subtle, but seriously effective especially if the toy has texture or ridges.

Bonus: this technique is also great for warming up or cooling down.

Experimentation Encouraged

Don’t just stop at the toy itself. Combine it with other forms of stimulation to completely blow your mind:

• Add a clitoral vibrator like Missy during penetration
  

• Try edging (bringing yourself close to orgasm, then backing off) to prolong and intensify your climax
  

• Use a mirror to watch yourself it's visually erotic and helps you tweak your technique
  

• Pair it with audio erotica, porn, or a partner’s voice for mental stimulation

6. Safety First, Pleasure Always (Your Bits Will Thank You)

We love a wild ride. We love a loud one. But a painful one? Big nope. Pleasure should feel amazing, not like you’ve signed up for some chaotic reality show called Who Wants a Bruised Vagina?

Let’s keep it hot and healthy.

New to This? Start Small, Babes!

Ambition is great. But when it comes to penetration especially if you’re exploring new territory (hello, butt stuff) you want to walk before you bounce.

Smaller, slimmer toys give you more control, less overwhelm, and a better chance of that yes, this is the spot moment. There’s zero shame in starting small and working your way up.

Bigger isn’t better it’s just a different kind of fun.

Your Body Isn’t Lying

If something feels off, it is off.

Listen to your body like it’s your best friend shouting from the back seat. Pain, pinching, sharp pressure, numbness? That’s your cue to stop, re-lube, change angles, or take a breath.

Your pleasure checklist:

• Check the depth, how far feels good?
  

• Pay attention to speed and motion. Your body might want rhythm, not a race.
  

• Pain is not normal and if you feel pain, stop. No orgasm is worth ignoring your boundaries.
  

• Consent isn’t just about partners. It’s you, giving yourself permission to slow down, stop, or switch things up.
  
  

The Not-So-Sexy (But Very Necessary) Clean-Up

Once you’ve come back down to earth (or the edge of your bathtub), it’s time to tidy up.

• Wash your toy with warm water and soap or a gentle toy cleaner if you’ve got one handy. Get into the grooves, especially the suction base.
  

• Wipe down wherever it was stuck.
  

• Let it air dry or pat down with a lint-free towel.
  

• Store in a dry, clean pouch, dust and silicone are not friends.
  

Clean toys = happy bits = ready for round two (or ten).

7. Where to Stick A Suction Dildo  (Because Your Toy Deserves an Adventure)

You’ve nailed the classics. You’ve ridden the chair. You’ve conquered the shower. Now it’s time to get... creative.

The magic of a suction dildo? It sticks to your life. Literally. As long as the surface is smooth, sturdy, and can handle your glorious weight, you’re good to go.

Think of this as a scavenger hunt with orgasms.

Mount Me, Maybe? Unexpected Places That Slap:

• Side of the Bed Frame
  Perfect for kneeling or standing action and even better if there’s a mirror nearby so you can watch yourself absolutely own it.

• Wardrobe Mirror
  A visual delight. You + reflection + rhythm = main character moment. Warning: may cause vanity levels to spike.

• Kitchen Bench
  No judgement. We’ve turned breakfast bars into bone zones before. Just give it a wipe down before and after especially if you’re hosting brunch tomorrow.

• Bath or Tub Edge
  Low-key, comfy, and discreet. Ideal for squats, sits, or a little pre-bath bounce.

• Solid Doors (yes, really)
  Mount it vertically for a whole new kind of entry. Just make sure it’s solid wood, not something that’ll rattle mid-thrust (unless that’s your thing, in which case… slam away).

Let’s Not End Up on Crutches

Before you go sticking your toy to every shiny surface in the house like a horny Spider-Man, remember: check before you wreck.

The surface needs to be:

• Smooth (no texture)
  

• Clean (duh)
  

• Stable AF (can handle movement and body weight)
  
  

If it wobbles, creaks, or looks like it might betray you mid-thrust, skip it. Because sexy should never end with a bruised tailbone or emergency tile repair.

Conclusion: One Toy. Endless Positions

Hands-free. No batteries. Just a suction dildo that sticks around (literally) for your pleasure.

Dilly’s not just for riding it’s for reclaiming. Whether you’re getting reacquainted with your own body or roping in a partner for a little surprise wall session, it’s here to help you explore your yeses.

A little prep, a smooth surface, and a spark of curiosity? That’s all it takes to turn your shower wall, chair, or kitchen bench into a VIP pleasure zone.

So go ahead:

• Ride it like you paid for it.
  

• Laugh mid-thrust.
  

• Lose count of your orgasms.
  

• Wipe down the mirror with a smirk.
  

Get curious. Get sweaty. Get off. Then do it again.

FAQs: Suction Dildo Essentials

1. Can I use my suction dildo in the shower?

Oh, hell yes. Shower tiles are basically suction dildo royalty. Smooth, steamy, and discreet? Yes please. Just be mindful of your footing wet tiles and toe-curling pleasure can be a slippery combo. Pro tip: squat or sit if you don’t want to recreate a sexy slip 'n slide.

2. What surfaces work best for sticking a suction dildo?

Your dildo’s got standards. It’s all about the smooth, non-porous, and sturdy.

Stick to:

• Shower tiles

• Mirrors and glass doors
  

• Polished wood (hello, headboards)
  

• Bathtubs
  

• Plastic or metal chairs
  

Avoid:

• Textured walls
  

• Fabric (obviously)
  

• Anything dusty, wobbly, or precious enough that you'd cry if it cracked mid-thrust
  

If it doesn’t feel like it can hold a good grind session, skip it.

3. Should I use lube with my Suction Dildo - and if so, what kind?

Yes. Always. Forever. Lube = more pleasure, less friction, and no "ouch" moments.

• Water-based: Best all-rounder. Toy-safe. Easy clean-up.
  

• Silicone-based: Extra slick and long-lasting but NOT for silicone toys (it’ll mess with the material).
  

• Avoid the suction base! Lube + suction = slip city. Keep the grip dry, and lube the shaft + your body instead.
  

4. Can I use a suction dildo with a harness?

If it’s got a flared base, you’re good to go. Most suction dildos like Dilly slide right into O-ring harnesses for pegging and role play.

5. How do I clean and store my suction dildo after use?

You just had a good time now it’s time to give your toy a proper aftercare moment.

1. Wash it with warm water and gentle soap or a toy cleaner. Focus on the base, shaft, and suction cup.
   

2. Wipe down wherever it was stuck (your mirror doesn’t need to be that honest).
   

3. Let it air dry or pat it down with a lint-free towel.
   

4. Store in a clean, dry pouch away from dust, heat, and other toys.
   

Clean toy = safe toy = ready for next time. Which might be... later tonight?
