How do I get a suction cup dildo to stay put? Suction cups need three things: a smooth surface, a clean surface and no trapped air. Tile, glass, sealed stone and bathtub enamel all work. Wipe the spot and the cup, dampen the cup very slightly, then press down hard from the center so the air is pushed out to the edges. Give it a firm tug before you rely on it. With a heavy dildo such as The Mechanic, a horizontal surface like a floor or bench is more forgiving than a wall.
Loverboy The Mechanic: big, detailed and hands-free
The Mechanic is one of the larger realistic dildos in the Loverboy line, listed by the distributor at 9 inches. It is made of TPE and finished with very realistic detailing. The base is a powerful suction cup that holds on almost any smooth, flat surface, which frees both hands.
It is harness compatible and easy to clean. The material contains no synthetic fragrance, phthalates, paraffins or latex. With a dildo of this size, the suction cup is the feature that matters most, because it lets you control depth and pace with your whole body.
Best for: For experienced users who want a long, substantial realistic dildo. The suction cup suits hands-free solo play, and the harness fit gives couples another way to use it. If you are new to dildos, a smaller Loverboy model is an easier starting point.

How to use
Wash the dildo before you use it for the first time. Pick a clean, smooth surface, press the suction cup down hard and pull on the shaft to confirm the grip. Apply a generous layer of water-based lubricant. With a dildo this long, begin with shallow movements and add depth gradually; there is no need to take the full length. Positions where you control the pace, such as lowering yourself onto it, work well. For strap-on use, fit an O-ring sized to the shaft and check the base is seated behind it. Lift an edge of the cup to release it.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only, since oil and silicone formulas can degrade TPE.
- Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner before and after use.
- Do not boil it or use a dishwasher.
- Let it dry completely in the air after patting it down.
- Store it by itself, lying flat, out of direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How big is The Mechanic?
The distributor lists it as a 9 inch dildo. Neither source gives an insertable length or a width, so check the product photos for scale and compare them with a toy you already own.
How does it compare with the other Loverboy dildos?
The material, suction cup base and harness compatibility are the same across the line. The Mechanic sits at the large end at 9 inches, alongside The DJ, while models such as Ranger Rob are much smaller.
Is it suitable for a first dildo?
It is on the large side for that. Most people are more comfortable starting with a shorter, slimmer toy. If you already know you like bigger dildos, the realistic sculpt and suction cup make it a solid choice.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Water-based lubricant. The Mechanic is TPE, and silicone or oil-based lubricants can make that material sticky or cause it to break down. Use plenty with a toy this size and reapply as you go.
Does the suction cup hold in the shower?
It is described as sticking to almost any smooth, flat surface, and wet tile or glass usually qualifies. Press it on firmly and test it. Because the dildo is heavy, check the hold again during use.
