How to Use a Thrusting Dildo

We’ve all been there—you’re curious about toys that go beyond the basics. A thrusting dildo is one of those upgrades that can change your solo play completely. Unlike a standard dildo that relies on your hand movement, a thrusting dildo does the work for you. It moves in and out rhythmically, giving you that lifelike penetrative feel—almost like the real thing.

Whether you’re new to sex toys or simply ready to try something that feels more hands-free and natural, this guide will walk you through everything: preparation, step-by-step use, the best positions, and how to clean up afterwards.

A little preparation makes the experience smoother (and safer). Here’s what to do before diving in:

• Charge or insert batteries – Nothing kills the mood faster than a dead toy. Always make sure it’s fully charged before use.

• Clean your toy first – Even brand-new toys should be washed with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner.

• Choose the right lube – A good water-based lube is essential. Thrusting toys create friction, so you’ll want plenty for comfort.

• Set the mood – Dim the lights, play some music, maybe even light a candle. Creating the right atmosphere helps you relax and enjoy.

When you’re ready, here’s how to ease into it:

1. Apply lube generously – On yourself and the dildo. Don’t skimp here.

2. Start slow – Turn the toy on at the lowest thrusting speed. Let your body adjust to the sensation.

3. Insert gradually – Take your time, especially if you’re new. Breathe deeply and relax your muscles.

4. Experiment with speed and patterns – Many thrusting dildos offer multiple settings. Try different rhythms until you find what feels right.

5. Add vibration (if available) – Some models combine thrusting with vibration for extra intensity. Switch it on when you’re ready to level up.

6. Listen to your body – If anything feels uncomfortable, slow down or stop. This is about pleasure, not endurance.

Different positions change the angle and intensity of thrusting. Here are a few to explore:

• On your back – Classic, easy to control, and comfortable for beginners.

• Doggy style – Great for deeper penetration; let the toy’s rhythm do the work.

• Cowgirl (riding position) – Hands-free fun if your toy has a suction base.

• Against the wall or floor – Suction it onto a flat surface and let gravity help.

Tip: Suction-cup thrusting dildos are perfect for hands-free sessions.

Want to take things up a notch? Try these combos:

• Double stimulation – Pair with a clitoral vibrator or a butt plug for more intensity.

• Partner play – Remote-controlled thrusting dildos allow your partner to take charge, even from a distance.

• Long-distance fun – Some models sync with apps, making them perfect for virtual intimacy.

Taking care of your toy means it’ll take care of you for longer.

• Turn it off and unplug (if charging) before cleaning.

• Wash with warm water and toy cleaner (or mild soap). If it’s waterproof, you can rinse it under the tap.

• Dry thoroughly before storing.

• Store in a cool, dust-free bag or drawer to keep the material safe.

Using a thrusting dildo is all about relaxing, experimenting, and letting the toy do the work for you. Whether you’re lying back with a hands-free suction base or spicing things up with your partner, the key is to take it slow and enjoy the ride.
