Considering investing in a new suction cup dildo? Then let us answer all the questions that you might have before buying. Read on to get your answers to the most frequently asked questions about suction cup dildos.

Why Suction Cup Dildos?

The problem with a regular dildo is that you need to use your hands to insert it and play. The problem with a strap on is that you need a partner to share the work. A suction cup dildo solves both of these problems by giving you hands free solo fun. After all, you might want to use your hands for something other than holding your toy, right?

What Material Should I Go For?

That’s totally up to you. Suction cup dildos come in a variety of materials, though be aware that glass versions are generally not available and are expensive if they are (glass dildos tend to be a bit too heavy to be effective for use with a suction cup). Silicone is the best choice for a beginner, as it’s soft, flexible and comfortable to use. Just make sure that you don’t use silicone lube with a silicone toy- or risk your dildo disintegrating over time.

Where Can I Use It?

Anywhere where there’s a hard surface to attach the suction cup. Most women prefer to stick the dildo onto the floor and ride it, but you can also use it when fitted to a wall, it just takes a few more acrobatics to get the positioning right.

Will It Stick Enough?

Generally, yes, the suction cups on dildos are usually very strong, not like the ones on kid’s toys. Make sure you put a bit of saliva into the cup to make it stick better, and it’s always worthwhile to spend a little more on a toy with a bigger suction cup just to be sure.

How Do I Clean It?

You can clean a suction cup dildo the same way you clean most other sex toys, with soap and warm water. Do make sure that you clean the cup thoroughly, as dust, lube and fibres will stop it from sticking properly. Alternatively, you can pop a condom over your dildo before you use it and that way avoid clean up issues entirely.

What Special Features Am I Looking For?

There are plenty of special features on different kinds of suction cup dildo, but for beginners a simple one is probably best. If you’re used to using a vibrator you might want to consider getting a vibrating dildo, and if you’re interested in anal play then either opt for a smaller size or one of many specially designed anal dildos (they generally tend to be shorter than regular ones). Different textures are available, which might be fun to play around with, and obviously there are plenty of different sizes.

Speaking of Size, What’s Right for Me?

The best plan is to opt for a dildo that’s around the size of the average penis that you’re used to. You can always go up a size next time, but in terms of comfort for the first time buyer it’s best to go on the average size rather than for one of the giant models.
