A rabbit dildo is designed to deliver two types of stimulation at once — internal penetration targeting the G-spot and external stimulation of the clitoris — for a blended orgasm experience.The rabbit design combines a penetrative shaft with a smaller external arm that rests against the clitoris during use. Most versions are vibrating, with independent motors in both the shaft and the external arm. The design became famous through popular culture and has remained one of the best-selling toy types available. This guide explains how to use one effectively.
Understanding the Design
A rabbit dildo has two distinct components that work together. The main shaft is inserted vaginally and is typically curved upward toward the front wall of the vagina to target the G-spot. The external arm — the rabbit element — extends from the base of the shaft and is designed to rest against the clitoris when the shaft is inserted at the correct depth.
The key challenge with a rabbit dildo is alignment: getting the external arm to sit comfortably against the clitoris while the shaft is inserted to a comfortable depth. This takes a little adjustment and experimentation, particularly with a new toy. Body proportions vary, and the arm may not align perfectly straight away.
Before Use
Charge your rabbit dildo fully before the first session. Familiarise yourself with the controls before inserting it — knowing which button changes speed or pattern saves interruption. Test the vibrations on your hand first to understand what each setting feels like. Apply generous water-based lubricant to the shaft before insertion. Do not use silicone-based lubricant on silicone toys.
Charge Before UseFully charge the toy before its first session. A full charge gives you the complete range of vibration intensity without interruption at a critical moment.
Learn the Controls FirstTest every button on your hand before inserting the toy. Knowing exactly how to switch settings in the moment makes a significant difference to your experience.
Apply Lube GenerouslyWater-based lubricant on the shaft makes insertion much more comfortable. Never use silicone-based lube on a silicone toy — it degrades the material.
Start With External OnlyMany people start by using the external arm on the clitoris before any insertion. This builds arousal and helps with the alignment process once you do insert.
Adjust Depth for AlignmentThe arm will not align with your clitoris at every depth. Insert slowly and find the depth at which the arm sits comfortably against your clitoris.
Start Low and Build UpBegin on the lowest vibration setting for both the shaft and the arm. Your body needs time to adjust to dual stimulation before increasing intensity.
Step-by-Step Guide
01Charge and cleanCharge fully and clean with warm water and mild soap before use. Know your controls before beginning.
02Foreplay firstUse the external arm on the clitoris before any insertion. This builds arousal and natural lubrication.
03Apply lubeApply water-based lubricant generously to the shaft. Reapply as needed throughout the session.
04Insert slowlyInsert the shaft gradually, angling it upward toward the front wall of the vagina for G-spot stimulation.
05Find alignmentAdjust insertion depth until the external arm rests against the clitoris comfortably. This is the ideal position for dual stimulation.
06Explore settingsTurn on vibrations starting from the lowest setting. Many rabbit toys allow independent control of the shaft and arm motors — try them separately and together.

Tips for Getting the Most From a Rabbit Dildo
Use the external arm solo first. Many people find the external vibration on the clitoris to be the most powerful feature. You do not need to insert the toy to enjoy it — starting externally and building arousal before insertion leads to a much more satisfying experience.
Try different positions. Lying on your back is the easiest starting position. Slightly tilting your hips upward with a pillow underneath can improve both alignment and G-spot stimulation. Side-lying positions can also change where the arm sits against your body.
Do not worry about perfect alignment. Body proportions vary considerably and not every rabbit dildo will align perfectly with every body. If the arm does not sit exactly on the clitoris, adjust the depth slightly or try gently bending the arm into a more comfortable position if the material allows.
Try independent control. Many rabbit toys allow independent control of the shaft and arm vibrations. Running the arm on a high setting and the shaft on a lower one, or vice versa, produces a very different experience to running both at the same intensity.
Cleaning a Rabbit Dildo
Clean before and after every use. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild unscented soap or a sex toy cleaner. Do not submerge the charging port. Never boil a rabbit dildo — the motor will be permanently damaged. Dry thoroughly before storing in a breathable pouch. For more detail see our guide to how to clean a dildo.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a rabbit dildo different from a regular dildo?A rabbit dildo has an external arm designed to stimulate the clitoris at the same time as the shaft provides internal penetration. Most are also vibrating, with motors in both the shaft and the arm. This dual stimulation can produce blended orgasms that combine G-spot and clitoral sensation simultaneously.
What if the arm does not align with my clitoris?This is very common. Body proportions vary and not every toy fits every body perfectly. Try adjusting insertion depth, tilting the toy slightly or repositioning with a pillow under your hips. If the material is flexible, you can also gently bend the arm into a more suitable angle.
Do I need to use both parts at once?No. Many people use the external arm only for clitoral stimulation without any insertion, or insert the shaft without turning on the arm vibrations. You do not need to use both functions simultaneously — use whatever combination feels good for your body.
What lubricant should I use with a silicone rabbit dildo?Always use water-based lubricant with silicone toys. Silicone-based lubricant degrades silicone material over time, breaking down the surface and reducing hygiene. Apply generously to the shaft before insertion.
Can a rabbit dildo be used anally?Most rabbit dildos are not designed for anal use and do not have a suitable flared base. Do not use a rabbit dildo anally unless it is specifically designed and labelled for this purpose with a safe flared base.
