Is my vibrator waterproof?

Is my vibrator waterproof?

Pick a waterproof vibrator and there's no reason why 'me-time' should be limited to the bedroom. Take your pleasure into the bath, shower, hot tub, or even a paddling pool if you feel so inclined just make sure the neighbours don't spot you!

But before you do - be sure to check that your toy is fully waterproof. There’s a big difference between water-resistant and submersible. And the last thing you’ll want to do is ruin your prized possession by getting water in it.

Many sex toys and vibrators will look perfectly waterproof, but just because it's silicone, doesn’t mean it can go underwater. Fully waterproof vibrators are specifically designed with hard casings to protect the motor and are often rechargeable by using a magnetic charger or self-sealing port.

Toys that are only splashproof are fine to run under water when it comes to cleaning it, but just be sure not to put the controls or the power end under water.

A few things to look out for

Firstly - take a look at the packaging. So before you go throwing out the box, have a look and see what it says. If it says it’s 100% waterproof and safe to use in the bath, then you’re good to go!

Most waterproof toys these days will be rechargeable, but if it is a battery-operated vibe, be sure to check the battery cap is securely closed. Push in firmly, or give an extra tight twist. You’ll also see a rubber ring which is there to help prevent water from getting in. Should this ring come away from the toy, or be damaged, it means your vibrator is no longer waterproof and shouldn't be submerged in water.

Any cracks in the casings will mean it's no longer waterproof, so always be sure to take good care of your vibrator and store it safely in a silk or satin bag where it can’t get dropped or knocked around easily.

As with all toy play, we always recommend using lube for a more smooth and comfortable experience. But just be sure to choose the right one! In the shower, you might be more tempted to opt for a silicone lube that won’t wash off so easily, but these need to be avoided if your sex is made from silicone as the two will react and break down the silicone of your vibrator. Instead, try a thicker water-based lube like System JO H2O Jelly or the System JO Silicone Free Coconut Hybrid Lubricant.

What sort of vibrators are waterproof?

Being waterproof is a major selling point these days, not only for pleasure but for the importance of hygiene and keeping your toy clean. So chances are, whatever size or shape you’re after, there’s a waterproof option.
