Why Grinder Sex Toys Are Changing the Way We Experience Pleasure (And Why You’ll Probably Love It)
Let’s talk about something you might’ve seen floating around your feed, or maybe tucked away on a toy site with a name like “Grind Ring” or “Grinder Pad” and thought... what exactly does that do?
We’re Godemiche, the original inventors of the Grind Ring, and we’re here to cut through the confusion and get real about what grinder toys are, why people love them, and how they might just become your new favourite way to play.
So, What Is a Grinder Sex Toy?
At its core, a grinder is a flat, textured sex toy designed for external stimulation through grinding, pressure, and movement. You don’t thrust with it. You don’t insert it. You grind against it—hence the name.
But that’s just the beginning.
While the broader grinder category is all about surface-level stimulation, we, along with our sister company Odyssey, have pushed the boundaries of what a grinder toy can be. We’ve created insertable grinders, ejaculating grinders, and designs that hold bullet vibe or body wands for layered internal and external stimulation. Whether you want something purely pressure-based or a combo of grind, vibe, and depth, we’ve built the toy to match.
Grinders are about letting your body lead. Rock. Press. Sway. No thrusting. No choreography. Just raw, grounded pleasure exactly how you want it.
Why Do People Use Grinder Toys?
Because sometimes, less is so much more.
Grinder toys offer a kind of pleasure that’s intimate, body-led, and deeply customizable. Whether you're solo or playing with a partner, they’re perfect for:
- Clitoral grinding (especially for those who don’t like direct vibration)
- Grinding against with a strap-on or harness
- Sensory exploration and edging
- Vulva and perineum stimulation (hello, external pleasure zones)
They’re also gender-inclusive and body-positive by design. No phallic shapes. No intimidating tech. Just pure, delicious friction where you want it.
Who Are Grinders For?
Grinders are for anyone who wants to explore pleasure through movement, pressure, and connection.
- ❤️ Couples – Grind together, tease each other, and find new ways to play that aren’t just thrust-thrust-done
- ✨ Solo players – Perfect for self-led pleasure rituals, slow grind sessions, and deep body connection
- 🧠 Explorers – Curious about new sensations? Grinders are a great step into clitoral, perineal, or external prostate play without the pressure of penetration
- 📸 Content creators – Whether you're filming or camming, grinders give you a slow-burn visual with serious impact and they look damn good doing it
Grinders don’t ask you to fit a script. They meet you where you are and take you wherever you want to go.
What Makes Godemiche Grinders Special?
We didn’t just join the grinder movement. We started it. Godemiche launched the world’s first Grind Ring back in 2020, and since then, we’ve redefined what a grinder toy can be.
Our range of grinders is crafted for real bodies and real desire, with options that suit every grind style from slow and sensual to rough and rhythmic. Here's what sets our designs apart:
- Grind Rings – Flat, sculpted textures made to grind against with intention and pressure
- Grind Pads – Larger, body-weight-friendly pads perfect for deep, sensory grinding
- Vibe Pads – Smaller, discreet designs with built-in slots for a bullet vibe so you get pressure and buzz
- Wand Grinders – Designed to fit on your favourite body wand for powerful, targeted stimulation without hands or hassle
- Insertable hybrids – Some of our grinders double as insertables, offering a combo of grindable surface and internal stimulation
- Ejaculating Grinders – Yep, they squirt. Built with channels to deliver fluid when pressure hits just right for those who want extra sensation, spectacle, or sticky fun
No matter which one you choose, every grinder is handcrafted from body-safe silicone in colours that range from moody to marbled to full glitter bomb. Designed for sensation first, function always, and beauty as standard.
Grinders aren’t just toys. They’re a category and we’re the ones who built it.

Common Misunderstandings (Let’s Clear Things Up)
❌ “It’s just a dildo you lie on.”
Not quite. Grinders aren’t about penetration. They’re all about external stimulation.
Grinders are designed to be ridden, rocked against, and ground into. That’s the magic. Yes, some have insertable elements or fit over a dildo for extra fun, but at their core, grinders are made for external pleasure first. That deep, draggy, body-led kind of feel you can’t get from thrusting.
❌ “You have to hump like mad to make it work.”
Actually, grinders are perfect for slow, sensual movement. It’s about depth of sensation, not speed.
❌ “They’re only for vulvas.”
Wrong again. Plenty of people grind their perineum, explore different pressure points, and play with sensation in ways that feel good to them. Grinders are for everyone. Many of our designs even let you add a bullet vibe or wand directly without awkward placements underneath.
How to Use a Grinder (Like a Pro)
- Find your base – Grinders work best on a firm, flat surface (floor, pillow, harness, chair, or even a person’s thigh)
- Lube up – A little water-based lube goes a long way. It softens friction while keeping the texture alive
- Set your rhythm – Start slow. Rock. Grind. Breathe. Let sensation build
- Play your way – Add a bullet or wand, use it solo, or bring in a partner
- Clean it like you mean it – Our silicone is non-porous and easy to clean with warm soapy water
Final Thoughts: Grinding Is More Than a Motion. It’s a Mindset.
Grinders are about your pleasure. About slowing down and enjoying the simple things that make life feel richer, more fun, more connected, and more intimate. Whether you’re flying solo or sharing the moment with someone else, grinding brings you closer to your body, your partner, and your turn-ons.
At Godemiche, we don’t just make sex toys. We invent categories. We are the category. And grinder toys? That’s our legacy.
