What is a waterproof vibrator? How best can one use a waterproof vibrator? Do You feel the need to get buzzy in the bathroom? This article talks about the waterproof vibrator and how an individual can use the vibrator. 

To enjoy the pleasures of vibrators, you will need a waterproof toy. Waterproof toys are specially sealed to ensure that they won't break when you give them a dive to actualize your sexy fantasies. There will always be a waterproof toy in your favorite type of sex toy; the way to explore them is the real deal. 

If you want to use a sex toy anywhere, you feel like you've probably thought or have used a toy in the shower or bathtub. However, not all toys are waterproof, so if you want to enjoy your pleasures in the bathroom, you will need a waterproof toy. These are not so hard to find, and with the internet, you can order yourself one. There are waterproof versions of every type of toy on the market. Waterproof toys are specially sealed to be fully immersed in a tub or pool of water without destroying the toy. One of the greatest advantages of using toys in the bathroom is the slipper pleasure and orgasms that come with being in the water. It will be relaxing if you have confidence and trust that your toy won't break. So how exactly do you use a waterproof toy for sexual pleasure in the bathroom?  

How Do You Know a Toy is Waterproof? 

 When an individual is shopping physically in a store or online, one needs to make sure that the toy is waterproof before purchase. One needs to be keen to read the description on the packaging to find out whether the toy is waterproof or not. They will have descriptions such as ‘waterproof' or 'submersible', which means the same thing. But note that  ‘splashproof’ doesn’t mean the same as waterproof as a damp cloth can wipe the toy, but if you submerge it inside a water tab, it won't survive. The best waterproof toys are cordless with a way of covering the charging port.

Masturbation in the Shower 

To make the experience in the shower great consider different positions and techniques. According to Hughes (2020), when masturbating in the shower, consider switching between the showerhead, your fingers, and the waterproof vibrator. Keep exploring different intensities and speeds with the vibrator while in the tab with water acting as a lubricant to make sure the toy slides in slippery. Finding the perfect position in the shower is not easy, especially in a limited space. The key here is concentrating on the pleasure and sensations from the toy. Consider squatting down to widen your legs or leaning on a wall for support as you play with the toy. With a bigger space or tubs, you can be flexible and more experimental with different positions and techniques.

Using Vibrators in the Bathtub

Sensations with the vibrators in the bathtub are out of this world. Rullo et al. (2018) stated that individuals should be cautious not to use scented bubbles or oils that may irritate their vagina’s pH levels. Also, one needs to clean their bathtub before diving in to avoid potential infections. In the bathtub, don't just rush into the stimulations; take time, relax and feel the experience. Find a suitable position to rest with your head resting on a towel and your legs wide open, feet firmly pressed against the sides. You can better the experience by pouring yourself a glass of wine. Get in the mood by dimming the lights or lighting a few candles to change the ambiance.

One of the best toys to use in the tub is those that stimulate both the G-spot and the clitoris simultaneously. Because you don't have to struggle to thrust the toy in and out, you slide in the toy and locate the right spot to enjoy vibration stimulation. Take things slow in the bathtub to experience a lifetime and achieve those Toe-curling, back-arching orgasms. But don't just enjoy yourself alone; you can invite your partner to have fun with you and share the pleasures. It can be added to your normal sex routine to discover new dimensions in your sex life.

Relax and Enjoy Self-pleasure   

It's not a bath anymore when you have a waterproof toy in the bathroom, so make the most of it. Lather your body with that wash, and bring your toy in for fun. Lousada & Mazanti (2017) explained that masturbating in the shower should be relaxing, so unwind, lay back, and enjoy the experience. You are the one who understands your body well; thus, you know the right spots, so use the toy to focus on your sweet spots to give yourself pleasure from the vibrations. Flip through the different vibration patterns and speed settings to make the experience worthwhile and achieve those explosive orgasms.

Tips to Consider when Using Waterproof Vibrators 

• If you are looking for discreetness while you indulge in some alone time, consider waterproof bullet vibrators. These are rather small and discreet.
• If you like or desire vaginal and clitoral stimulations; consider waterproof Rabbit vibrators. In that case, however, some may be louder, so you need to wait until you are home alone for some self-stimulation.
• Water-based lubricants often wash off when taking a bath. Consider silicone lubricants which are long-lasting and rather water-resistant. Again the type of lube will be determined by the type of toy you use. Silicone lube will only go with plastic or glass toys but not silicone toys.
• Make sure to close the waterproof vibrator tightly before submerging it inside the water. Make sure it is air-tight, and the charging port is sealed.
• Vibrators tend to be louder than normal in water, so try the shower instead if you need some quieter vibe.

 Conclusion  

It's not every other toy that is waterproof, so be careful when reading the descriptions when shopping for vibrators. With the internet being a vast market with many online stores, you can find and shop for these waterproof vibrators from the comfort of your home. Get to understand the difference between waterproof and splashproof toys. If you want something you can keep in the bathroom all the time for those times that you feel like having some self-pleasure, go for waterproof toys.
