Suction-cup base: Meaning, Uses and What to Buy

A suction-cup base is a flexible cup at the bottom of a dildo or plug that sticks to smooth, flat surfaces such as tiles, glass or a mirror. It lets you use the toy hands-free, in the shower or against a wall. It also keeps the toy upright on a table while it dries after washing.

Why it matters when buying

A suction cup only holds on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces, and a little water helps it seal. On an anal toy it can double as a flared base, but only if it is clearly wider than the toy.

What to look for

  • A wide, soft cup that seals well
  • Smooth surfaces such as tiles or glass
  • Wide enough to act as a flared base, for anal toys
