If you're thinking of adding toys to bath time, check out our recommendations to really make a splash! Find out what to look for in a waterproof vibrator, plus other toys to consider to maximise your pleasure while you play.
Bath and Shower Sex: What's the Appeal?
Bathroom sex can be a fun way to spice up your sex life. Switching up your normal sex spot from the bedroom can feel exciting and take your sex life to new heights. Any location change can be a novelty, but the bathroom, in particular, has plenty of perks.
Bath time is the only time some people get peace and quiet, especially parents! Having that time to unwind can help get you in the mood. Hot water helps loosen muscles, which can help you relax, and when you're relaxed, you're more likely to orgasm. You may be pleasantly surprised by how different you experience feelings of touch under a stream of water.
For some, it's also a matter of convenience! Seeing as you're already naked when in the bath or shower, many people consider it an ideal time to get intimate, whether that's solo or with a partner. It may also be entirely spontaneous; once you see yourself or your partner sees you undress, it’s time to dive in.
There's also the question of cleaning up. Once you get down and dirty, the bathroom is the perfect place to get clean again! It's also super easy to clean down your toys as you hose down yourselves.
The Best Toys for Getting Wet and Wild
All Bed Nerdz sex toys come with an IPX6 rating, which is an IP scale indicating the level of water our toys can withstand. Our toys are all suitable for use in the shower and will hold up against direct sprays from the water stream. For bath fun, we recommend using our toys without dunking them under the surface.
Try These Toys for Partner Play
Inviting your partner into the bathroom with you can be a great way to experiment with new ways to pleasure one another. There may be more room for two in a tub, but there's a rise in people choosing showers over baths, so we've included fun stuff for both!
Cali Wand Massager
A massage wand is great for partner play or solo play. The Cali Wand has an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in your (or their!) hand, and the soft silicone allows it to glide over your skin even when wet. Bathtime is great for building sexual tension, so why not use this to massage those neglected erogenous zones you can reach out of the water, like your partner's shoulders, neck and ears? Use this as a tease for what's waiting once you're out of the water!
Miki G-Spot Vibrator
For a blended orgasm, why not invite Miki, our expertly designed g-spot vibrator, into your shower for intense internal pleasure while your partner focuses all their attention on clitoral stimulation? With 10 vibration modes, this will cause some serious ripples!
Joey Vibrating Cock Ring
This cock ring is top of our list for pleasure for both partners. Like all cock rings, it restricts blood flow for a longer-lasting erection and more intense orgasm. The Joey cock ring features vibrating ears and ribbed edges that are specifically designed to stimulate the clitoris for off-the-charts intensity levels. To make sure the powerful vibrations connect, prop one foot on the side of the bath or any ledge available.
Toys for Solo Shower Sex
A 2019 study revealed that 51% of men and 28% of women said they've masturbated in the shower. For those who take advantage of alone time in the bath or shower, these toys can elevate your solo play.
Bodhi Prostate Massager
Our carefully designed prostate massager adapts perfectly to your body’s contours. It works entirely hands free, so you can insert and hop in the shower for a steamy self-love session. It boasts 10 vibrating modes and five different speed options so you can take your time finding your favourite rumbly vibrations and intensity levels.
Cali Wand Massager
The Cali has a whopping 20 unique vibration modes and nine adjustable speed options for stimulation anywhere on your body. This massage wand is the perfect fit for an indulgent self play in the shower and can lead to wave after wave of deep, satisfying pulses.
Jesse Clitoral Stimulation Toy
With ten distinct vibrating and suction modes, the Jesse offers a wide range of sensations for you to explore in your solo shower session. From gentle flutters to deep, rhythmic pulses, you'll quickly find the perfect setting for maximum clitoral stimulation.
How to Stay Safe and Comfortable During Shower Sex
There are some misconceptions about shower sex. Treat shower and bath sex as you would any other sex, taking the necessary precautions, as having sex in water does not reduce the risk of pregnancy, nor does it prevent the spread of STIs.
Many people also assume that the wetter the better, but that's not always the case! Getting slippery in the shower can actually wash away your body's own lubricant, leading to dryness. Dryness can cause friction, which is the last thing you want as you explore pleasure in the bathroom. For shower or bath play, silicone-based lubes are ideal as they're water-resistant and will stick around. Don't bring oil-based lubes into the shower, as they can cause a slip risk.
Make sure your bath or shower is clean and tidy to reduce the risk of slips and trips. Consider adding a grip shower mat to help with reliable footing when you're finding your position.
It's important to check the actual water resistance of sex toys before bringing them into the shower or bath. A waterproof vibrator and a water-resistant vibrator will have different tolerances for water. Fully waterproof vibrators can be immersed underwater and are usually designed specifically to be fully submersible. Whereas a sex toy labelled as water-resistant or water-friendly can withstand some level of wetness but not a prolonged period of being underwater.
Make the Most of Sex Toy Shower Fun
If you're using rechargeable sex toys, make sure they're fully charged before you start - the last thing you want is for them to stop short! Keep chargers away from the bathroom and charge them in advance to be safe.
Set the mood by lighting a candle in the bathroom for sexy lighting and a luxurious scent. Opt for a Melted Dreams Massage Candle which will melt down to create pools of silky smooth massage oil, perfect to warm up in the bedroom once you've jumped out of the bath!
As with all toy play, make sure you clean down your sex toys after use. Following shower or bath fun, it's especially important to ensure you thoroughly dry your toys. For water-resistant toys, give them a quick dry with a hair dryer on a cool setting to ensure any hard-to-reach areas are properly dry before storing.
