Written by sex journalist, Gabrielle Kassel, and sexuality writer Shawn P Griffin for The Cowgirl.
Maybe The Cowgirl is hanging out in your shopping cart and you’re trying to figure out which additional attachments to buy. Maybe Santa got your boo The Unicorn, and you’re trying to decide which attachment to get for their stocking. Or maybe you’re a long-time owner of a Premium Riding Sex Machine looking to ~*spice*~ things up.
Whatever the reason, if you want to learn more about the variety of attachments for the Cowgirl and Unicorn, this guide is for you.
Cowgirl Attachments 101
With the option to remove and replace various attachments, The Cowgirl is a bit of a “choose your own adventure ride”. Each attachment is designed to offer a slightly different sexperience—the Bronco, for example, is designed to replicate sex with a biological penis, while the Rawhide is designed for external vulvar and/or taint stimulation.
That said, all of the attachments are made from body-safe silicone and can be enjoyed by pleasure-seekers of all genders, sexualities, and genital shapes and sizes.
The Cowgirl and Unicorn Come With 2 Attachments
Everyone who purchases The Cowgirl or The Unicorn automatically receives two (2!) attachments.
Wild West or UniHorn
The Wild West Attachment is to Attachments what the Le Wand is the wand vibrators: a f*cking classic.
The shaft measures in at 3.5 inches long and 4 inches around, which is about the size of 2 fingers— maybeee 3 if your partner has small hands.
Rather than being crafted after a bio-cock (like the Bronco), the Wild West is vein-, foreskin-, and head-free. “It’s the perfect pick for people who know that they do not want to be filled by a toy that looks like a biological penis,” says queer sex educator Andy Duran, the education director for Good Vibrations, a pleasure product company that sells The Cowgirl.
The Unihorn is designed with the same length and angle of the Wild West with an added bumpy texture that gives you an internal massage and comes with The Unicorn. The texture is very slight and perfect for those fresh to the penetration play game but still provides just enough bumps for a wild ride. If you’re looking for a smoother attachment, you can purchase The Wild West separately! If you purchased a Cowgirl machine and want to switch up your internal stimulation with a little extra texture, you can also purchase the Uni Horn attachment separately as well!
Rawhide or Magic Hide
Ever ridden a Motorcycle and gotten turned on? Or straddled the Mechanical Bull at your local bar and felt ~waken~. ? If so, Duran says you’re going to L-O-V-E the Rawhide Attachment.
A non-penetrative attachment, “The Rawhide and Magic Hide cover the entire pelvic region, transmitting the deep, rumbly vibrations of your sex machine deep into the body,” says Duran. Ever used a palm-shaped vibrator before? The Rawhide and Magic Hide feel similar to that, but they transmit higher-intensity vibrations for longer.
These attachments also feature a swath of silicone studs, which can be used for additional clitoral or perineum stimulation. “You can try grinding your bits directly on the nubs,” says Duran. “Or, you can try elevating your body over nubs so that you feel the air moving through the nubs, as opposed to the nubs themselves,” he says.
If you find the genital-to-stub contact too intense, another option is to cover the nubs with a dental dam or use your panties as a buffer. Or use the even smoother Bareback attachment.
The Rawhide and Magic Hide have the same design shape with different print and color appearances. If you purchased a Cowgirl machine and are looking to glam up your experience with the sparkly Magic Hide, you can purchase it separately!
The Additional Sex Machine Attachments
There are multiple additional The Cowgirl attachments available for purchase for more ~*specific*~ types of sensation, each ringing up between $45.00 and $65.00. These include:
Bareback
The Bareback is another non-penetrative attachment that is entirely untextured. Rather than featuring sensating nubs, this attachment is smoother than a Troye Sivan backup dancer.
Its smooth exterior makes the Bareback a good fit for those who easily become over-stimulated, as well as those who find textured toys downright annoying (to each their own!).
“For the best riding experience, I recommend people use the attachment with lube so that they can glide and slide their bits along the smooth surface,” says Duran.
Mystical Waterfall
Our most popular non-penetrative attachment, the Mystical Waterfall provides a textured incline that is great for bumpin’ and grinding. The angle of this attachment makes it perfect for gliding on your vulva and clit for vagina owners, or for providing anal surfacing stimulation and perianal stimulation for prostate owners.
The bumpy ramp is great for movement, allowing a comfortable surface to rub against. Or saddle up in the nook of the Mystical Waterfall and let the curved shape wrap your vaginal or perianal zone with a wild rapid of vibes.
Buckwild and Two-Nicorn
The Buckwild and Two-Nicorn take the Wild West and Uni Horn attachments and add the sensation of double penetration with a beaded anal appendage.
“Anal beads stimulate the nerve-dense anal opening and anal canal, while also providing the rider a pleasurable feeling of fullness,” says Duran.
The Buckwild and Two-Nicorn combine the pleasure of anal beads with that of front-hole penetration, making it a great option for anyone who *knows* that they enjoy double penetration and those who are interested in exploring it for the first time.
Worth mentioning: The Buckwild or Twonicorn should *not* be your first-ever introduction to anal play. Why? In short, because what’s the rush!?? Duran recommends beginning your anal exploration journey with a small butt plug (like the b-vibe Snug Plug 1) before graduating to a set of beginner-friendly anal beads (like, the b-Vibe Triplet Anal Beads), and then eventually trying the Buckwild.
Lone Ranger
Just look at this attachment! Right away, you can tell that the head of the Lone Ranger is far more bulbous than any of the other attachments. That’s intentional! Duran explains: “The curved shape is designed to stimulate the user’s Prostate or G-spot”
ICYDK: The G-spot and P-spot, are nerve-dense pleasure zones, located two inches inside the vagina and anus of prostate havers respectively. Typically, both hot spots respond well to pressure, which is why the Lone Ranger shaft is so firm.
While some people may like the sensation of bouncing up and down on the attachment, Duran recommends sliding down on the Lone Ranger and then rocking back and forth with it inside you. “The consistent pressure of the bulbous end against your G-spot or P-spot, combined with the vibration transmitted from The Cowgirl can be incredibly pleasurable,” he says.
Bronco
Modeled after a biological penis, the Bronco is designed for people who have had enjoyable experiences with a cock and want to recreate the sexperience.
Because the attachment features a pronounced head and veins, people who enjoy textured dildos and vibrators will also enjoy the Bronco, says Duran.
“A realistic-looking attachment is also a good option for couples interested in exploring threesomes or groups,” he says. Couples with cucking, voyeurism, and exhibitionism fantasies, may find pleasure in the Bronco’s realism, too.
Rio Grande
If you’re looking for a longer, harder realistic experience, the Rio Grande is about to take you on a white-water level of rapids. Like the Bronco, Rio Grande is modeled after the shape of a penis, but with an inch of additional circumference and nearly 2 inches of insertable length! The added testicle base gives even more realism for those who definitely ain’t doin' their first rodeo.
The Jackalope
Hop on for a blended orgasm of mythical proportions with the Jackalope Attachment. This attachment features an external rabbit that stimulates the clitoris while the penetrative shaft targets your G-spot and provides hours of extravagant blended orgasms, or an orgasm achieved through a combination of clitoral and vaginal stimulation. This attachment is perfect for those looking for extreme sensations and a little extra rumble with their ride.
The Sheriff
Meet the long arm of the law and stick em high with The Sheriff. This extra-long attachment goes deep with a ridged textured shaft for a sensual massage with every thrust. The sheriff targets your deepest zones with a bulbous head that saps your sphincter or A-spot with stimulation and provides inches upon inches of sensations all the way up.
High Noon
Ride hot and high with the bulbous, filling High Noon attachment. This uniquely shaped slider has an extra bulbous head for filling you with a flurry of ecstasy and shallow nubs to caress the G-spot with rumbly vivacious vibes. The base provides external texture for gliding the vulva and allowing for multiple zones of absolute euphoria taking your ride all the way to the sky.
Getting Started with Cowgirl Attachments
Once you have your Cowgirl and all desired attachments, keep these tips in mind for the most pleasurable ride possible.
1. Use them!
Fam, it shouldn’t need to be said, but for the love of your bits, never-ever use The Cowgirl Sex Machine without an attachment!! Doing so is not just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous!
2. Wash them before and after use.
Again, all of The Cowgirl Attachments are made from body-safe silicone. That means that not only can you get them c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y clean—but it’s also pretty darn easy to do so!
Just detach the attachment, then head to the sink and wash with some fragrance-free soap and warm water.
Another option is to spray on a pre-made sex toy cleaner like Le Wand Organic Toy Cleaner before wiping it clean with a clean washcloth.
If you use soap and water, please make sure to dry the attachments before putting them away! Mold and mildew go *heart eyes* for damp places; any lingering wetness gives both a place to thrive. A Q-tip can help you dry the hard-to-reach nook and crannies of the attachments.

3. Use with water-based lube!
“Lube is what makes a difference between painful penetration and pleasurable play,” says Duran. “I highly, highly, highly recommend using all of the attachments with water-based lubricant, especially on the external, textured parts.”
Keyword: Water-Based. Silicone toys (read: attachments) are not compatible with silicone lubricant. Silicone sticks to itself, which can cause the attachments to warp and change shape #science.
4. Read the user manual before you ride.
Thankfully, how you use this rideable vibrator is pretty self-explanatory. And the controller is pretty intuitive, too.
Still, you’d be wise to carefully read the product manual before your first attempt at riding The Cowgirl. In it, you’ll learn how to properly attach and detach the silicone attachment to reduce the risk of tearing, how to enable the rotation setting and more.
