The Sensation Scale: Grind Ring & Pad Texture Guide for Every Body
Grinding is not about batteries, buzz, or brute force. It is about texture and pressure working together so you can get off exactly how you like it. Whether you are using a Grind Ring, a Vibe Pad, or a Grind Pad, the right texture makes all the difference.
Use this Sensation Scale to explore from low and teasing, through medium and bouncy, right up to bold, intense stimulation. There is no wrong choice here. Just different flavours of delicious.
Low Sensation — Gentle, teasing, steady build
Suckers — Inspired by octopus tentacles, each circular cup grips and releases with a subtle suction as you move. It pulls you in slowly, like a kiss you do not want to end. Exclusive to High Mound designs.
Bumps — Tiny raised bumps that give just enough stimulation to keep you curious. They lightly caress as you shift, adding sparks of pleasure without tipping you over the edge too soon.
Pills — Small, rounded flickers that do not just focus on your clitoris, they spread the love to your labia too. Each grind is a soft brush across your clitoris and whole vulva, a tease that builds heat without overwhelming you.
Waves — A smooth, dragging sensation under your body, like oral sex, like a tongue sliding across your body. They do not push too hard. They are there for those long, indulgent grinds where you want to feel every wave.
Medium Sensation — Bouncy, flicking, full-bodied fun
Hearts — Sweet at first glance, but these soft hearts hit with a pulsing bounce. They deliver a bumping, almost tapping sensation, like a body hitting your clitoris during sex. Indulgent, like a slow kiss that suddenly deepens.
Bubbles — Perfect little domes that compress and release with every move. They mimic the rhythm of thrusting, a bumping, almost tapping sensation, like a body hitting your clitoris during sex, while you stay in control. Bouncy, pulsing, and addictive.
Bubbles & Suckers — A combination of suction and bounce. The circular cups of the suckers grip and release with a gentle pull, while the bubbles compress and tap like a body brushing against your clitoris during sex. Together they create a grind that feels both tugging and thudding, an irresistible mix of lift and bounce.
Wipers — Two sensations in one. One way feels draggy and deep, the other light and springy. It is like edging yourself with nothing but your hips, controlling exactly how close you get.
Ridges — Like Waves with attitude. Bigger grooves between the texture and higher peaks give you that extra push. They drag firmly across your clitoris, creating a slow, insistent friction that feels deeper and more deliberate. Every grind pulls you closer to the edge.
Bumps & Bubbles — A blend of teasing touch and pulsing bounce. The tiny bumps lightly caress your clitoris with delicate sparks of sensation, while the bubbles compress and release in a rhythmic, tapping motion. Playful, indulgent, and building heat with every movement.
Jelly Beans — Made to wobble, designed to buzz. These little textures sway from side to side when your vibrator is on, turning your grind into a vibrating, wriggling dance across your body.
Ridges & Bumps — A mix of deep drag and teasing touch. The ridges pull firmly across your clitoris with slow, insistent friction, while the bumps sit in the grooves, lightly caressing as you grind back and forth. The result is a layered sensation that is rich, varied, and impossible to resist.
Polygons — Double the trouble. The ribs rub firmly across your clitoris, creating steady friction, while the soft bumps bounce with every grind, adding a playful lift. Together they deliver a mix of broad, rubbing strokes and uplifting pulses that keep your body guessing.
Tall Waves — Like Waves but more. The longer ridges create a deeper, dragging sensation, almost like a tongue lingering across your clitoris. Each grind feels fuller and more deliberate, packed with that irresistible licking friction that keeps you coming back for more.
High Sensation — Bold, flicky, unpredictable intensity
Tall Pyramids — Soft, flexible peaks that slide and flick unpredictably across your clitoris and your vulva as you grind. They do not move in a straight line. They bend, shift, and slip sideways, sending jolts of sensation in unexpected directions. Playful, intense, and always keeping your body guessing.
Spikes — They may look intimidating, but the sensation is all pleasure. As you grind, the flexible spikes flick and press against your clitoris with intense focus, creating a rush that feels impossible to ignore. They are the wilder cousin of the Tall Pyramids, more concentrated, more insistent, and designed to make you moan with every movement.
Pyramids — The ultimate climax-chaser. Unlike softer textures that move with your body, the pyramids hold firm, making your body move around them. Each grind forces your clitoris into direct, unrelenting contact, creating an intensity that builds fast. Not for the faint-hearted, but perfect if you crave powerful, targeted stimulation.
The Final Grind
Textures are not just gentle or intense. They change with your body weight, your rhythm, and your mood. That is the fun. You are in control.
Whether you are easing into a lazy Sunday grind with Waves, bouncing hard on Bubbles, or chasing climax with Pyramids, remember this: your pleasure, your pace, your way.
