Splashing Around: Your Guide to Waterproof Shower Toys
There’s something uniquely relaxing about combining warm water and self-pleasure. Whether it’s the privacy of the bathroom or the soothing heat of a bath, waterproof toys can take your relaxation to a whole new level. But not all toys that claim to be “waterproof” are created equal. Let’s look at what you need to know for a safe and soapy session.
Pro Tip: Look for the “IPX7” rating. This means the toy can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes—perfect for the tub! “IPX6” only means it’s splash-proof for the shower.
Making the Most of Your Bathroom Playground
Safety and fun go hand-in-hand when you’re dealing with water and electronics.
Shower Play Secrets
- Choose the Right Lube: Water-based lube will wash away instantly. For bath and shower play, a high-quality **silicone-based lubricant** is essential as it is waterproof.
- Use Suction Cups: Many toys come with powerful suction bases that allow you to mount them to the shower tile for hands-free enjoyment.
- Temperature Control: Ensure your bathwater isn’t *too* hot, as extreme heat can sometimes damage the delicate silicone or electronics of your toy over time.
- Dry Before Charging: Never plug an adult toy into a charger until it is 100% dry, especially around the charging ports or pinholes.
Slip Hazard: Bath oils and silicone lubricants can make the shower floor extremely slippery. Use caution when standing up or moving around after a session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my toy in a jacuzzi?
Generally yes, if it’s IPX7 rated. However, chemicals like chlorine can sometimes degrade silicone over time. Always rinse your toy with fresh water after a jacuzzi session.

Why does my toy feel weaker underwater?
Water is denser than air, which can slightly muffle the intensity of vibrations. Look for “deep rumble” motors for the best underwater experience.
