Since you’re online right now, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of suction sex toys! Suction toys have boomed in popularity recently after the Rose vibe went viral on TikTok and Twitter. If you’ve been thinking about picking one up for yourself, or you have one and aren’t sure how to optimize all it offers, this is exactly where you need to be.

What is a Suction Toy and How Does It Work?

Suction toys are sex toys crafted to simulate oral sex. They use airflow to create pressure and suction around the clitoris, nipples, tip of the penis, or anywhere else you put it! This encourages blood flow to the area. More blood flow means heightened sensation and tons of pleasure for you.

How Do You Choose the Right Suction Toy?

These days, there’s lots of different options when you go searching for your very own suction toy. It can be a little overwhelming, but we’re here to help you find your perfect match. These toys are usually made of body-safe silicone, since they need to be a bit flexible to allow for the suction elements. They come in many shapes and sizes, and some even have more than just suction to offer!

What is the Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Suction Toy?

How Should You Prepare Your Suction Toy?

Before you use your suction toy (or any sex toy), it’s super important to clean it. Try a specialty sex toy cleaner. We love our very own Intimate Care Foaming Toy Cleaner. It’s fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and safe for all toy materials. Just use a couple of pumps onto your toy, lather it up, and rinse it off with room temperature water. Now you’re ready to play.

Another important element for using toys of all kinds is lubricant. If you’re using a silicone toy (which is what most suction toys are), we love a water-based lube. They’re safe for all toy types, super easy to clean up, and don’t stain so you can use this lube liberally and abundantly. 

You can also take things to the next level with a warming lubricant! Just apply a bit of it to the suction hole of your toy or the opening of your masturbator, and it’ll add a natural warmth just  like what you might experience if you were enjoying the company of another person.

How Do You Apply and Position a Suction Toy?

Positioning your suction toy is the most important part of using it, and it’s probably the trickiest part for most vulva owners! It takes two hands and a little patience, but it’s so worth the effort. 

Turn the toy onto the first setting, which is usually the least intense one. Gently part your labia with your free hand, holding it so you can position the suction vibe against yourself. Put the opening of the toy against the tip against your clitoris. You don’t need pinpoint accuracy, just close enough for the toy to create a suction against your clitoris. Once you have it just right, you’ll know.

What Are the Best Tips for Maximum Pleasure with a Suction Toy?

Once you have it where it needs to be, it’s time to make it feel as good as possible. Try playing around with intensity and suction patterns! 

Most suction toys will have different settings for both the amount of suction and the pattern of suction. Try them all out, making different combos to find your perfect recipe of pleasure.

You can also add other sex toys into the mix. If you love nipple play, try out a couple of nipple suckers. Want internal stimulation at the same time? You can also use a G-Spot vibrator like Bodywand’s G-Play Ergonomic Squirt Trainer to hit all of your erogenous zones at once.
