When life gets hectic - whether you're juggling flatmates, kids, work, or just the general chaos of daily living - it can feel hard to carve out space for yourself. That’s where the magic of a waterproof vibrator comes in. These little wonders are not just about pleasure - they're about reclaiming time, privacy, and a sense of calm.

Picture this: you lock the bathroom door, run a warm bath, and let the stress of the day melt away. Add a waterproof vibrator into the mix, and your me-time gets a delicious upgrade. Whether you’re new to sex toys or already a fan, using one in the bath or shower can feel soothing, indulgent, and deeply satisfying.

Waterproof vibrators are designed to be safe and effective in wet environments, giving you the freedom to explore your body in one of the most relaxing settings possible. Whether it’s a quiet moment before bed or a cheeky lunchtime reset, this is your reminder that pleasure can - and should - be part of your self-care routine.

A waterproof vibrator is specially designed to be - well, waterproof!

A waterproof vibrator is designed to be - well, waterproof! This means built to safely withstand splashes, steamy showers, and even full submersion in the bath. The battery or charging compartments are sealed with watertight technology to keep the inner workings dry and functional, so you can fully relax and enjoy your playtime without worry.

On the flip side, never submerge a non-waterproof vibrator in water. Trust us - dropping a regular vibe into the tub can lead to more fizzle than sizzle. Not only can it damage the toy beyond repair (and void any warranty), but it could also be unsafe. The vibe may go pop, and that’s one way to end your hot-tub fantasy very quickly!

So, before you dive in, always check the Tech Specs. Look for terms like fully waterproof. If bath or shower fun is on the cards, you’ll want to make sure your new toy is up to the task.

Should I use lube with my vibrator in the bath or shower?

Water might feel soothing, but it washes away your body’s natural lubrication, which can lead to uncomfortable friction. That’s why adding lube is key to keeping things smooth, sensual, and satisfying - though how you use it depends on where and how you’re playing.

For external clitoral play in the bath or jacuzzi, there’s no need to use lube - water will wash it away. In this case, skip the lube and simply press your waterproof vibrator against your clitoris or vulva. The combination of warm water and rumbly vibrations is often more than enough.

But if you're engaging in penetrative play in water, lube makes a big difference. Without it, things can get uncomfortably squeaky.

For toys made of hard plastic or glass, silicone-based lube is your best bet. It stays slippery even under running water and won’t rinse away easily, making it ideal for steamy penetrative sessions with toys, fingers, or partners. Just remember: silicone lube makes everything slippery - tiles, tub edges, floors - so apply with care and wipe up spills to avoid any accidental slips.

⚠️ One quick but important note: If your vibrator is made of silicone or elastomer, avoid using silicone lube. Over time, it can break down the surface of your toy. For these, go with a thick, water-based lube that sticks around longer. We love anal lubes for this - even for external or vaginal use - because they’re usually thicker and longer-lasting.

Bottom line? The right lube keeps your water play safe, smooth, and seriously pleasurable.

Are rechargeable, waterproof vibrators better than battery-operated vibrators?

Great question - and the answer depends on your needs and preferences, but there are some key advantages to rechargeable waterproof vibrators, especially when it comes to ease of use.

Battery-operated vibes typically have a screw-on cap that must be tightly sealed to keep water out. This ensures they're safe for bath or shower play, but the seal needs to be very snug, often requiring a firm grip and wrist strength to open or close properly. For some people, this can be a challenge, especially if they experience joint pain, arthritis, or have reduced hand strength.

That’s where rechargeable vibrators shine. Instead of fiddling with a battery compartment, you simply plug them in via a USB cable or magnetic charger. No twisting lids, no struggling with tiny parts - just charge and play. Plus, rechargeable vibrators often provide stronger, more consistent power, and they’re usually more eco-friendly since you're not constantly replacing batteries.

So, if accessibility, ease, and convenience are important to you, a rechargeable waterproof vibrator is a smart and user-friendly choice.

Whether it’s a luxurious soak at the end of a long day or a cheeky shower quickie while everyone else is distracted, waterproof vibrators turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary. They're discreet, powerful, and made to slip seamlessly into your self-care routine.

So go ahead — shut the door, run the water, and reclaim a few blissful minutes for yourself. With the right waterproof vibrator and a little lube (if needed).
