What is a Suction Cup Dildo?
It is a dildo with a suction cup attached to the bottom of the shaft. Some are really obvious – a large circular and rounded flat base that actually looks like a suction cup. Others are more subtle with a flat base that has a concave shape that creates a vacuum when you stick on a wall or flat surface such as a shower tile or bathtub. Here's the category, have a quick look to see what the suction cup bases look like, it's a very distinguishable feature compared to all other types of dildos.
Why do Dildos Have Suction Cups?
A suction cup base adds versatility to the toy – you can stick it to a wall, mount it to a harness or use it as a handle. The flat base allows it to stand upright which is also an useful feature so that you don't get lube marks all over your bedside table.
You'll be quick to notice that most dildos share this feature. While not overly new to the sex toy industry, they are certainly more commonplace than before.

In summary, it's there if you want it – and creates no interference if you don't want it. My Sexpert opinion is that a dildo with suction cup is more useful than one without for the following reasons:
- It will stand upright without falling over.
- The handy handle!
During dildo play with your partner, there will come a time when you'll place it on the bedside table and proceed with intercourse. The suction cup dildo stands upright so you don't have to worry about staining your tabletop with lube or getting it dirty with bodily fluids.
If you are enjoying your sex toy solo in bed, it helps to have something that is “ergonomically friendly” to the position you're in. This means that when you hold your hands at the groin as you insert the shaft into the vagina, having something to hold (the suction cup base) really helps make it easier to use and assists in creating a consistent rhythm as you thrust.
What's the Deal with a Wall Mounted Dildo?
Wall mounted dildos are really popular, but do women actually enjoy riding a dildo that sticks to a wall? Men visualize a female erotically riding a wall dildo as a wild sexual fantasy. That's powerful sexual stimuli for him, and women know it!
One my favorite suggestions for a couple to spice up a dull love life is to enact sexual acts in front of each other. It empowers her knowing she is creating unfathomable lust from him while he enjoys the view. Everyone wins.
So to summarize, wall dildos are a fun, creative and imaginative way for lovers to try something different together while exploring the kinkier side of sexuality. It might not be a smooth and sexy as you'll see in an adult film, but that's not the point. The couple is sharing an intimate act together. Creating memories, having some fun. Laugh, giggle and experiment together and you'll enjoy it no matter what.
Suction Dildos for Strap On Sex
Looking for a strap on harness compatible dildo? A suction cup dildo will work can be mounted a strap on harness o-ring. Check out our harness-friendly options here.
There are 2 ways to mount a suction cup dildo to your harness:
- Push the suction cup through the O ring.
- Slide the shaft through the ring.
This will work best if the base is malleable and soft. Bend the edges inwards and push it through the ring. Having a big flared one is also ideal because a sex toy with a tiny cup will fall out under heavy load of hard sex. If you can't push it through without risk of tearing the rubber or silicone, skip to following step and do this instead:
Insert the penis head through the ring and let the bottom of the shaft be supported by the balls and/or suction cup base. Having balls does not affect the stability of the sex toy as its connected to the harness, but balls will help the shaft to stay more perpendicular to the ground and limit it from sagging downwards.
How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo
In my dildo users guide, I briefly cover tips and techniques on how to use a suction cup dildo. The angle is to use the large bottom adornment as a handle in the palm of your hand. On the contrary, if you want to ride the dildo on a wall, the following tips will help your dildo stick on the wall:
- Make sure the surface area is clean.
- Lightly moisten the interior of the cup.
- Consider your angle of penetration.
If you are sticking it to the shower tile or edge of your bathtub, remove soap scum and water deposits. A smooth and clean surface will create strong suction as there will be no air gaps to reduce the strength of the vacuum created by the edge of the cup. (Specks of soap scum interrupt the contact of the cup circumference, it no longer has seamless contact).
Moistening the indent will make the suction cup sex toy stick much better than when applied dry. Don't go overboard and make it too wet however, when pressure is applied to make it stick it can slide around and slip. I'm talking a wipe of a moist finger just for a bit of lubrication. Not a sopping wet layer of liquid on the base.
The position of your body matters. Make sure the angle is appropriate for vaginal penetration. A curved shaft is a popular choice because when stuck to a wall, the head angles upwards making it easy for the woman to “back up” over it or squat for easy vaginal penetration.
A small or slim dildo makes insertion easier, especially if you're using it in a doggy style position. A curved shaft is not a necessity, of course. A straight penis shaft works well too, but you'll need to stick it flat to the floor and squat directly on top.
