This guide walks you through everything you need to know about waterproof sex toys, from what makes them special to how to choose and use them confidently.
By the end, you’ll feel empowered to explore pleasure on your own terms.
What Are Waterproof Sex Toys and Why You Need Them
At its most basic level, a waterproof sex toy is a device engineered with internal seals, magnetic charging ports, or seamless silicone bodies designed to keep moisture completely away from its motor and battery. But beyond the technical definition, these toys represent total freedom.
If you’ve ever hesitated to bring a vibe near the bath, you already understand the anxiety of using “water-resistant” gear. True waterproof toys eliminate that worry entirely. Here is why adding a submersible piece to your nightstand (or shower caddy) is a total game-changer:
Unrivaled Hydrotherapy Benefits: Warm water naturally increases blood circulation and relaxes your pelvic floor muscles. When you combine that physical relaxation with targeted vibration, orgasms can feel more intense, easier to reach, and deeply therapeutic.
Effortless Clean-Up: Let’s face it—nobody wants a complicated cleaning ritual after a blissful release. Waterproof toys can be held directly under running water and thoroughly washed with soap, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial buildup.
The Ultimate Shared Shower Experience: If you and your partner are looking to break out of a bedroom rut, the shower is prime real estate. A compact, waterproof bullet or wand allows you to bring the heat without worrying about stray splashes ruining the mood.
Discretion and Sound Dampening: Submerging a toy actually muffles its motor noise. If you live with roommates or family, the combination of running water and a submerged device offers a level of privacy that a quiet bedroom can’t match.
At SmoothToy, we believe that pleasure should be seamless and stress-free. Choosing a waterproof option isn’t just about pool parties or baths; it’s about investing in high-quality, body-safe medical silicone that stands the test of time, no matter where inspiration strikes.
Understanding Waterproof Ratings – IPX7 vs IPX8 for Sex Toys
Not all “waterproof” claims are equal. This is where IPX ratings come in.
IPX7 is the most common and trusted rating for waterproof sex toys. It means the toy can be submerged in up to 1 meter (about 3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes without damage. For most people, this is more than enough for shower and bath play.
IPX8 goes a step further. It indicates the toy can handle submersion beyond 1 meter, with the exact depth and time specified by the manufacturer. These are excellent for longer or deeper water adventures, though they’re less common in smaller personal toys.
At SmoothToy, we prioritize clear, honest ratings so you know exactly what you’re getting. Our designs focus on real-life usability — reliable performance whether you’re enjoying a quick shower session or a leisurely soak. Always check the product details for the specific rating before purchase.

How to Choose the Right Waterproof Sex Toys for You
Finding the right toy isn’t about choosing the most expensive option. It’s about understanding your own comfort, preferences, and goals.
Consider Your Experience Level
Beginners usually benefit from:
- Smaller designs
- Softer vibration settings
- Flexible silicone materials
- Easy controls
More experienced users may prefer:
- Multiple stimulation modes
- Stronger motors
- Dual stimulation
- App connectivity
Choosing a toy that feels approachable is often more important than choosing one with dozens of features.
Prioritize Body-Safe Materials
Medical-grade silicone remains one of the safest and most comfortable materials for sex toys because it’s:
- Non-porous
- Smooth on skin
- Easy to clean
- Durable over time
Avoid toys made with unclear material descriptions or strong chemical odors.
Think About Noise and Storage
Many users value privacy just as much as performance.
Quiet waterproof toys are especially useful for:
- Shared living spaces
- Travel
- Apartment use
- Relaxing bath routines
At SmoothToy, discreet packaging and quiet motor design are major priorities because comfort extends beyond the toy itself.
Best Ways to Use Waterproof Sex Toys
Waterproof toys open up possibilities that standard toys simply can’t offer.
That said, comfort and safety still matter.
Shower Play
Showers are often the easiest place to start because:
- Warm water relaxes muscles
- Cleanup is immediate
- The environment feels private and comfortable
Using water-based lubricant can help maintain comfort, although water may wash some lubricants away more quickly.
Bath Relaxation
Baths create a slower, more immersive experience.
Many users combine:
- Candles
- Music
- Warm water
- Waterproof vibrators
to create a calming self-care routine instead of treating pleasure as something rushed or secretive.
Couple Exploration
Waterproof toys can also help couples communicate more openly and experiment together without pressure.
Trying something new in a relaxed environment often feels less intimidating than expected.

Cleaning After Use
Even waterproof toys should be cleaned carefully after every session.
A simple routine works best:
- Wash with warm water and mild soap
- Dry thoroughly
- Store separately from other toys
- Avoid trapping moisture during storage
Proper maintenance helps preserve both hygiene and product lifespan.
