How to Charge Your Dildo?

Last Updated on June 20, 2025 by Nikita

sex toys are supposed to make your life easier, not leave you stressed and second-guessing your intelligence. But here you are, holding your trusty dildo and wondering, “Where the hell does the charger go?”

You’re not alone. Many vibrators today are designed to be sleek, waterproof, and discreet—and that often means the charging port is hidden, tiny, or weirdly placed. Whether it’s your first time trying to charge one, or you’ve rediscovered a favorite after years in a drawer, figuring it out can be a frustrating game of hide and seek.

Step One: Understand the Type of Charger Your Toy Uses

Before you start poking at your toy, it helps to understand the three most common types of charging ports.

1. Magnetic Charger

This is the easiest to recognize. Magnetic chargers have two small metal dots that line up with matching magnets on the charging cable. They usually snap into place at the base or side of the toy.
💡 Look for two shiny metal dots anywhere on the toy—that’s your clue.

2. Self-Healing Silicone Port

Some dildos have a “self-healing” port—a fancy way of saying the charging hole is invisible. It’s hidden beneath the smooth silicone and is only revealed when you press the charging pin into it. The silicone closes back up once you remove the charger, keeping the toy waterproof.
💡 Use a flashlight and look for a small dimple or circular outline in the silicone, often near the handle or base.

3. Twist-Off or Screw Cap

Other toys hide the port under a twist-off base. It might not look like it moves, but if you gently twist the bottom or a specific part of the toy, it’ll unscrew to reveal a charging port.
💡 Don’t force it! If you see wires, you’ve probably gone too far.

Step Two: Match the Cable to the Toy

If you have a box full of old charging cables, now’s the time to do a little detective work.

• Magnetic cables have round or oval magnetic tips.
• Pin chargers are straight, thin, and usually look like headphone jacks.
• USB on the other end just means you plug it into a computer, wall adapter, or power bank—not necessarily that the toy has a USB port.

Still unsure? Plug each cable into your charger block and see which one lights up the toy. Some people recommend labeling your toy chargers as soon as you open them (yes, a label maker might just save your sex life someday).

Step Three: Look for Clues on the Toy Itself

Here are a few places to check for charging ports:

• Bottom of the toy: Some are hidden in plain sight.
• Near the control buttons: That dimple or soft patch might be a port.
• Underneath removable plastic: If you must remove something, twist gently. Don’t pry or yank.

Some toys even have the letters “DC” or a small power symbol next to the hidden port. A flashlight can help you see these tiny markers.

Step Four: Charge It Safely

Once you’ve found the right port and cable, connect your toy to power. Most toys will show a light (often red or blue) when charging.

🟡 Charging Tips:

• Charge your toy on a flat, dry surface.
• Keep it out of direct sunlight or extreme heat.
• Don’t submerge it in water while charging.
• Let it charge fully—most toys take 1–2 hours.

If your toy doesn’t light up when plugged in, double-check the cable. If the charging port was forced open or damaged, the toy may no longer be waterproof or safe to use under water.

Real Talk: What Not to Do

Many people have learned the hard way (literally). Here are a few no-nos:

• Don’t pry off the hard plastic parts: These are often permanently sealed and not meant to be removed.
• Don’t stab the toy randomly: Not every soft spot is a charging port. Be gentle.
• Don’t assume “USB rechargeable” means it plugs into your toy like your phone: It often means the USB plugs into the wall or computer—but the toy end can be totally different.

When in Doubt, Ask or Search

Still stuck? That’s okay. You can:

• Google your toy’s brand + model with “charging instructions.”
• Check Reddit threads—there’s a good chance someone has asked the same question.
• Ask the manufacturer—they often have diagrams or manuals online.

And if you’re really unsure and it’s a pricey toy? Reach out to customer support. Better safe than sorry.
