Where to Stick a Suction Cup Dildo

In theory, the sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to where you can mount your dildo. However, in practical terms, some places are better than others.

Where you place it will affect how you use your suction cup dildo, and how much enjoyment you get from it. That’s why it’s important to consider the following:

  • What angle do you most enjoy?
  • Are you using it vaginally or anally?
  • Which kinds of surfaces you have?
  • What are your own physical limitations?
  • What is the shape and angle of the dildo?

Your answers to these questions will help you narrow down the best way to use your suction cup dildo. That way, you can place it in the most appropriate and practical way for your needs!

But, if you need some inspiration on places to stick your dildo, here are some ideas to get your brain going and your juices flowing…

On the Shower Wall or Floor

The shower, or the bathroom in general, is a fantastic place for suction cup dildos. In fact, with all that tile and various smooth surfaces, it’s almost like it was made for dildo riding!

You can stick it to a tiled wall or floor, the base or wall of a shower cubicle, or on any other smooth surface.

Just make sure that, if you’re planning on using it with the water running, your dildo is waterproof, or at least splashproof.

A Hardwood Floor

Another classic is to stick it to a smooth flooring like hardwood, laminate, tile, or even fancy polished concrete!

You can squat down, like in the previous picture, or try other positions like kneeling or lying down. Experiment with it, as different dildos will work best in different positions, depending on their firmness, flexibility and curve.

On a Chair

Trying sticking your suction cup dildo to a chair and riding it that way. You can straddle the chair backwards and grind, as shown here, or sit as you would on a regular chair and bounce.

Of course, the chair needs to be smooth and made of a hard material, like wood or plastic. You could also try with a bar stool or small stool, depending on your proportions.

In or On the Bathtub

How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo — in the bathtub

There are lots of options when it comes to using a suction cup dildo with your bathtub.

Try sticking it to the bottom of the tub and kneeling on top, or attach it on the wall at the end of the tub so you can lie down and thrust.

If you have a bathtub with a wide, flat rim around the edge, you could also stick it there and straddle it with one leg in and one leg out. Grab a step stool or some pillows to even out the height on each side.

On a Table, Desk, Nightstand or Counter

I’ve grouped these surfaces together, as they kind of provide the same experience, just at different heights.

There are a couple different ways to go about using your suction cup dildo with these. You could stick it to a table leg or the side of a cupboard and use it on all fours. Or, place it on the top surface.

If doing the latter, try placing your dildo on a corner so that you can put one leg on either side and get some deeper penetration. This works great facing both forward or backward!

The Headboard of Your Bed

Not everyone will have the right headboard or bed set-up for this position, but it’s worth investigating!

If you have a solid, smooth headboard made of wood or something similar, trying sticking your dildo to it. Place it at right height for your body and back up onto it. This will also work better if you have a longer dildo.

On a Door

One smooth, solid surface accessible to almost everyone is a good, old-fashioned door.

If you have a door that’s thick enough, you could stick it on the edge and ride it that way. However, you can also mount it on a closed door, which provides more stability. For this position, try mounting it further up and standing up with your back to it.

A Washing Machine

If you love the rumbles of your washer or dryer, why not pair it with a dildo? It’s almost like it turns into a vibrating dildo!

Depending on your set-up, you can mount a suction cup dildo on the side of the washing machine and ride it doggy-style. Or, place it on top and sit on it.

Dildo Mounts

As well as scouting locations around your house for ways to use a suction cup dildo, there are also plenty of purpose-made dildo mounts out there.

There are various styles including stools or benches like the Lovebotz Bangin’ Bench, pictured, which have elastic straps that you can squat down and bounce on. Simply stick your dildo on the ground or on the dedicated platform, if there is one.

Sex furniture brand Liberator also make several luxurious dildo mount cushions, including the Bonbon, Tula and Wing.

How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo With a Partner

Playing around with a suction cup dildo isn’t simply a solo affair!

There are plenty of ways to incorporate them into your partner play, whether it’s pleasuring them or you.

You can also use a non-suction cup dildo, take a look at the best in this ranking.

As a Strap-On

The great thing about suction cup dildos is that they have a wide flared base, allowing them to sit snug and secure in a strap-on harness. Simply place the O-ring over the shaft and fix it in place before getting down to business!

You can also find strap-on harnesses with a plate in the front onto which you can mount a suction cup dildo, like this one from King Cock. These are certainly quicker to set up, but their effectiveness will depend on the strength of the suction cup.

While Giving Oral

How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo — whilst giving oral sex

Giving your partner an oral sex session is often pleasurable in of itself, but you can upgrade it even further by adding in a suction cup dildo! It’s a great way to keep your arousal going for a longer session.

You’ll have to be on a hard, smooth surface to do this, so make sure to put down some blankets or cushions to make things comfier for both of you.

Or, have them sit on a chair or sofa while you kneel on the ground with a suction cup dildo underneath you.

Have a Threesome Without the Three

How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo — to create a threesome without three people

Have you ever dreamed of having a threesome or group sex, but aren’t sure you’re ready or willing to bring another person into your bedroom?

Well, did you know you could simulate it with a dildo? This is a fantastic way to use a suction cup dildo, as it allows you to explore lots of different positions and scenarios.

You can have your partner penetrate you while you give a blowjob to a dildo stuck in front of you. Or, give your partner oral while you ride the dildo. You could also try out double penetration with your partner and a dildo together!

How to Make a Suction Cup Dildo Stick

Most of what determines the suction power of a suction cup dildo is the quality of the dildo itself. Some suction cups are simply stronger and better than others — a deeper cup can help with this, as well as a dildo that isn’t too heavy.

However, there are some tricks you can use to help your suction cup dildo stick to your surface of choice!

  1. Stick to smooth, solid surfaces. Anything textured or porous can be very difficult to form a good seal with, making your dildo likely to fall off.
  2. Make sure the dildo and the surface are clean. Give both a wipe down with a damp cloth to get rid of any dust and other dirt. These could get in the way of forming a seal with the surface.
  3. Moisten the cup before sticking it down. It just needs a dab of water, saliva or water-based lube around the rim of the cup to help form a seal. Don’t use too much, however, or it will slide around!
  4. Don’t bend the dildo too much while using it. Work with the angle of the dildo and your body, rather than against it, to avoid bending the dildo and causing it to come unstuck.
