So you've got the MyMuse Link sitting in your drawer (or maybe it just arrived in that wonderfully discreet packaging), and you're curious. That's completely normal. Couples massagers aren't exactly something most of us grew up learning about, and figuring out how to actually use a C-shaped massager can feel a bit like solving a puzzle the first time.

Here's the thing: the Link is designed to create shared sensations during partnered intimacy. One arm provides internal stimulation, while the other sits externally for clitoral contact — all while leaving both your hands free. But there's definitely a learning curve. You might be wondering about positioning, when to turn on the vibrations, how insertion works, or whether it'll actually stay in place during movement.

This guide walks you through the practical steps — not just the "insert and enjoy" version you'd find on a product box, but the actual process, including the parts no one tells you about. We'll cover prep, positioning, using the controls, and what to do if something feels off.

Getting Started: Before You Use the Link

Charge It Fully and Test the Controls

Before anything else, make sure your Link is fully charged. Connect the USB charging cable to the port at the base (usually covered by a small silicone flap), and give it about 90 minutes for a complete charge. The indicator light will let you know when it's ready.

While it's charging, download the MyMuse Sync app if you want to use the app-control feature. You don't have to — the physical remote works perfectly on its own — but it's worth setting up beforehand rather than mid-moment. Test the buttons. Familiarize yourself with how to cycle through vibration patterns and intensity levels. The last thing you want is to fumble with unfamiliar controls when you're trying to be in the moment.

Clean It Thoroughly

Even though your Link is brand new, give it a wash before first use. Use warm water and mild, unscented soap, or grab a dedicated intimate wellness toy cleaner if you have one. Pay attention to the seam where the two arms meet — that's where dust or manufacturing residue can hide.

Pat it completely dry with a clean towel. Medical-grade silicone is non-porous (which is great for hygiene), but water can still get trapped in small crevices if you're not thorough.

Have Water-Based Lubricant Ready

This isn't optional. Even if you're already naturally aroused, lubricant makes insertion smoother and more comfortable. Silicone massagers have a bit of drag against skin, and the C-shape means you're working with a slightly wider form.

Use a water-based lubricant — never silicone-based, as it can degrade the silicone material of your massager over time. Apply lubricant generously to both the internal arm of the Link and to yourself. More is better here. You can always wipe away excess, but adding more mid-use breaks the flow.

Pro Tip: Keep the lube within arm's reach. Seriously. You don't want to pause everything to dig through a nightstand drawer.

How to Position and Insert the Link

Start with Foreplay (No, Really)

The Link works best when you're already aroused. That means your body is naturally more relaxed, you'll have increased natural lubrication, and the internal arm will be easier to position comfortably. Spend time on whatever foreplay works for you — kissing, touching, oral stimulation, or using another massager first.

Some people actually start with a smaller massager (like the Flick or Groove+) for warm-up, then transition to the Link once they're fully aroused. There's no rush here.

Insert the Internal Arm First

Hold the Link so the longer, slimmer arm is pointing downward — that's the internal arm. The shorter, wider arm with the textured tip will rest externally for clitoral stimulation.

Gently insert the internal arm, angling it slightly upward toward the front wall (similar to how you'd insert a tampon, but with a bit more of an upward tilt). Go slowly. You're not just inserting it straight in — you're positioning it so that the external arm naturally rests against your clitoral area without forcing it.

Here's where people often get confused: the external arm should sit comfortably in place without you having to hold it there. If it's not making contact, try adjusting the angle of insertion slightly or shifting your hips. Every body is different, so finding your angle might take a minute.

Pro Tip: If the external arm isn't making contact, try lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed. This position often makes initial positioning easier than sitting or standing.

Add Your Partner (If You're Using It Together)

Once the Link is positioned comfortably, your partner can enter. The C-shape is designed to accommodate penetration while keeping the massager in place, but you might need to guide them initially. Go slowly — this is a new sensation for both of you.

The massager adds some fullness, so positions that allow for shallower penetration tend to work better at first. Many couples find that being on top (cowgirl position) or lying on your side gives you better control over depth and angle. Missionary can work too, but might require more adjustment.

Don't worry if it takes a few tries to find a comfortable position. This is normal. Laugh about it if you need to — awkward moments are part of exploring something new together.

Using the Controls During Intimacy

Start with Lower Intensities

You can turn on the vibrations before insertion, during, or after your partner is inside — whatever feels right. But start with a lower intensity setting. The dual stimulation (internal + external + penetration) can be a lot of sensation at once, and you can always increase intensity later.

The remote control is your friend here. Either partner can hold it and adjust settings without having to reach down or pause movement. Cycle through patterns to find what feels best. Some people love steady vibration; others prefer pulsing or escalating patterns. There's no "right" answer — just what works for your bodies.

Communicate About What's Working

This sounds obvious, but it's worth saying: talk to each other. "A little to the left." "That pattern — keep that one." "Let's try a different angle." The Link creates sensations for both partners (the vibrations transfer through contact), so what feels good for one person might need adjusting for the other.

If something feels uncomfortable or pinchy, stop and readjust. The massager might have shifted, you might need more lubricant, or the angle might need tweaking. This isn't a "set it and forget it" situation, especially the first few times.

Quick Take

The Link has a learning curve, but that's true of any couples massager. Give yourselves permission to experiment without pressure. Some couples love it immediately; others need a few sessions to figure out positioning and rhythm. Both experiences are completely normal.

After Use: Cleaning and Care

Once you're done, remove the Link gently. Clean it as soon as possible with warm water and mild soap, paying extra attention to the area where the two arms meet. You can also use a dedicated toy cleaner if you prefer.

Dry it completely — pat it with a towel and let it air-dry for a few minutes before storing. Store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. If it came with a storage pouch, use it. This keeps dust off and protects the silicone from accidental contact with other materials.

Charge it after a few uses so it's always ready. Nothing kills the mood quite like a dead battery.

Expert Tips for a Better Experience

Pro Tip: If the external arm isn't staying in contact during movement, try a position where your legs are closer together rather than wide apart. This creates gentle pressure that keeps the massager in place.

Pro Tip: Use the app control feature for hands-free adjustments, especially if you're switching positions. You can change intensity or patterns without breaking contact or fumbling for the remote.

Pro Tip: Don't overthink it if the Link doesn't work perfectly on the first try. Couples massagers take practice. Some bodies find C-shaped designs incredibly comfortable; others prefer different styles. If you're not sure whether this design is your fit, starting with a simpler remote-controlled massager like the Dive might help you ease into shared intimacy products.

Pro Tip: If you're experiencing discomfort beyond typical "getting used to something new" sensations — sharp pain, pinching, or numbness — stop and reassess. The Link might not be the right anatomical fit, or you might need to try a different angle or position. Never push through actual pain.

What If You Want to Use It Solo?

The Link is marketed as a couples massager, but plenty of people use it solo. The dual stimulation (internal + external) works just as well on your own, and you have complete control over positioning and intensity.

The main difference is that you're not accommodating a partner, so you can focus entirely on finding the angle and movement that feels best for you. The remote control is especially handy here — you can adjust settings without shifting your hand position.

If you're primarily interested in solo use and the C-shape feels like overkill, you might also like the Breeze for focused external stimulation, or the Groove+ for internal textured sensations. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the Link on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Link stay in place during movement, or do I need to hold it?

It should stay in place on its own once properly positioned, but this depends on your anatomy and the position you're in. The C-shape is designed to be held by your body's natural structure, with gentle pressure from your partner helping to keep it stable during partnered use. Some movement is normal, though. If it's slipping out frequently, try positions that keep your legs closer together, or adjust the insertion angle slightly. You shouldn't need to manually hold it in place the entire time — that defeats the "hands-free" purpose.

How much lubricant should I actually use?

More than you think. Start with a generous amount on the internal arm (about a tablespoon, honestly) and apply some to yourself as well. Silicone massagers have more friction than you'd expect, and the C-shape means you're working with a wider insertion than a standard massager. You can always wipe away excess, but stopping mid-use to reapply breaks the flow and can create discomfort. Reapply if things start to feel draggy or sticky.

What if the external arm doesn't line up with my anatomy?

This is actually pretty common. Bodies are different, and C-shaped massagers don't work for everyone's anatomy. Try adjusting the angle of insertion — tilting it slightly more upward or downward can change where the external arm sits by a centimeter or two, which often makes the difference. Changing positions (lying down vs. sitting, knees bent vs. legs extended) can also help. That said, if you've tried multiple angles and positions and it's still not making contact comfortably, the Link might just not be the right fit for your body. That's not a failure on your part — it's just anatomical variation.

Can I use the Link in the shower or bath?

Yes, it's waterproof. Just make sure the charging port cover is sealed tightly before submerging it. Keep in mind that water washes away lubricant, so you'll likely need to use more (or reapply) if you're using it in water. Also, silicone can get slippery when wet, so have a good grip when handling it.

How do I know when the battery is running low?

The vibrations will start to feel weaker, or the indicator light might flash (depending on the specific model version). Most fully-charged sessions give you about 60-90 minutes of use, which is plenty for most situations. If you notice it's losing power faster than that, make sure you're charging it fully — sometimes people disconnect it before the charge cycle completes. If it's still dying quickly after a full charge, reach out to MyMuse customer support; that could indicate a battery issue covered under warranty.

Final Thoughts

Learning how to use the Link takes a little patience, but most couples (and solo users) find their rhythm within a few tries. The key is managing expectations — it's not going to be perfect the first time, and that's completely okay. Give yourselves space to laugh, adjust, and figure out what works for your bodies.

If you're still exploring what styles of intimate wellness products work best for you, that's part of the journey. The Link is a great option for shared stimulation, but it's not the only option. Pay attention to what feels good and what doesn't, and adjust accordingly.
