Waterproof Vibrators and Sex Toys: Your Shower and Bath Guide

A waterproof vibrator is a toy built to handle water, so you can use it in the shower or bath and wash it under the tap without worry. Our waterproof picks include the Flamingo APP Control Smart Vibrator, which its page says is safe to use even in the shower, the Avocado Clitoral Toy, made for bath or shower play, the Big Mouth Tongue Vibrator with an IPX6 rating, the Premium G Spot Dildo Vibrator and the Fantasy Dragon Dildo. Before you take any toy into the water, charge it fully, check the instruction manual and keep the cable well away.

Below you will find what waterproof really means, our waterproof toys, how to enjoy them in the shower or bath and how to care for them afterwards.

What does waterproof mean for a sex toy?

Not every toy that survives a splash is made for the bath. It helps to know the difference.

• Waterproof: the toy is sealed against water, so you can use it in wet play and rinse it under the tap.
• IPX rating: some toys list a rating, like the IPX6 on our Big Mouth Tongue Vibrator. IPX6 describes resistance to strong jets of water. It is not a promise that a toy can stay underwater for a long time.
• Not waterproof: wipe these toys with a damp cloth and keep them out of the shower.

The simplest rule: if the product page or the instruction manual does not say waterproof, treat it as a dry toy.

How to use a waterproof vibrator in the shower

Step 1: Charge it before you start

Charge the toy fully and unplug it. Never take a cable or charger into the bathroom while the water is running.

Step 2: Check the charging point

Make sure the charging contacts are clean and dry and, if the toy has a cover or cap, that it is closed.

Step 3: Set the temperature

Warm, comfortable water helps you relax. Very hot water is not good for you or your toy.

Step 4: Use lube that stays put

Water washes water-based lube away faster, so apply a little more and reapply as needed. Keep it off suction cups, which need a clean surface to grip.

Step 5: Find a stable position

Wet floors are slippery. Stand with your feet apart, lean on the wall or sit if your shower allows. If you use a suction cup dildo, press the base onto smooth, clean tiles.

Step 6: Start low

Begin on the lowest mode and build up. Running water also softens the sound of the motor.

Using waterproof toys in the bath

A bath gives you more time and more comfort. A few things make it better.

• Follow the manual on submersion. Waterproof toys handle wet play, but check how long your toy can stay underwater.
• Keep your phone dry. If you use the Flamingo app, rest the phone on a shelf or a towel outside the tub.
• Keep lube within reach. Bath water rinses it away, so you will need more.
• Get out slowly. Your legs may feel relaxed, and the tub will be slippery.

Why water play feels different

Warm water helps you unwind, and that can make a session feel slower and more indulgent. The sound of the shower also gives you privacy, and cleanup is already done by the time you step out. For a first try, pick a quiet evening, set the water just right and give yourself time instead of squeezing it into a rushed morning shower.

Common mistakes with waterproof toys

• Charging a wet toy. Dry it completely, contacts included, before the cable goes back on.
• Assuming every toy is waterproof. Check the product page first.
• Leaving it in the water. Take it out when you are done, rinse and dry it.
• Storing it in a steamy bathroom. Keep it in a dry room instead.
• Using a suction cup on textured tiles. It needs a smooth, clean surface to hold.

How to care for a waterproof toy

The big advantage of waterproof toys is how easy they are to clean. Wash the toy under warm running water with a mild soap, rinse well and let it air dry fully before you store or charge it. For a full routine, read how to clean sex toys.

Store it in a pouch in a dry place, with its cable, away from other toys.

Which waterproof toy should you choose?

• For hands-free shower fun: the Flamingo, worn on the body and controlled from your phone.
• For a calm bath: the Avocado, small and quiet.
• For oral-style sensations: the Big Mouth Tongue Vibrator.
• For G-spot play: the Premium G Spot Dildo Vibrator.
• For a suction cup on the wall: the Fantasy Dragon Dildo.
