However, not all toys are suitable for water use鈥攗nderstanding waterproof ratings is essential.
A waterproof rating indicates how well a toy鈥檚 internal electronic components are protected from water exposure.
Most sex toys use the IP (Ingress Protection) rating system, an international standard that defines protection against water and solids.
This system also measures protection against dust and solid particles, but for sex toys, water resistance is the most important factor.
Most sex toys use an IPX rating, where:
Keep completely dry.
Can handle light splashes but should not be submerged.
Can withstand strong water jets, such as shower use, but not full immersion.
Can be submerged in water up to 1 meter for about 30 minutes. Ideal for baths or pools.
馃挕 Note: Some components like charging ports or remotes may still require extra care even on waterproof models.
Not all toys are designed for water exposure. Always check the product packaging or user manual before using in water.
Water does not replace lubricant鈥攊t often removes natural moisture.
馃挦 Always use water-based lubricant, which is safe for both body and toys.
Tips:
For shower use, avoid direct water flow during use to preserve lubrication longer.
Once everything is ready, it鈥檚 time to enjoy the experience.
Water play can be highly sensory and exploratory鈥攖ake your time.
Water exposure does not mean the toy is clean. Proper hygiene is still essential.
IPX4 (Splash Resistant)
