There are two types of people in this world:
-
Those who step into the shower, wash their hair, ponder their life choices and move on with their day.
-
And those who step into the shower, feel that warm water hit the right spot on their neck, and suddenly think, “Hm. What if we made this… spicy?”
If you're option two, then this is for you.
If you're option one, stick around, queen, your shower routine is about to get a glow-up.
The shower is one of the best places to get off and with the right waterproof toy in your corner, those “quick rinse” moments turn into full-body, toe-curling, why-is-the-shower-fogged-from-the-inside events.
Let’s dive in.
Why the Shower Is Basically Your Body’s Pleasure Playground
There’s just something about showers. Maybe it’s the steam. Maybe it’s the privacy.
Maybe it’s that warm water trickling down your body.
Whatever it is, showers unlock a whole different side of pleasure, and science can even back you up on that.
Warm water = sensitivity boost
Heat increases blood flow, making nerve endings more responsive, which means everything feels about 30 per cent spicier.
It relaxes your whole body
When you're tense, it’s harder to get off. When you're relaxed, having a big-O (and pleasure in general) becomes a lot more reachable. Think of steam as nature’s foreplay.
It’s private, and the clean-up couldn’t get more convenient
Let’s be real, nothing beats:
-
Not being walked in on
-
Not having to wash your sheets afterwards
The shower takes care of both.
How to Pick the Right Waterproof Toy for Shower Fun
When choosing a waterproof toy, whether that’s a suction vibe, a wand, a plug, or a plain ol' simple vibrator, there are a few things worth thinking about before you bring any device into the splash zone.
1. Waterproof rating actually matters
You want IPX7 or higher.
IPX7 = Safe to use in up to one metre of water for up to 30 minutes.
Which is more than enough time for you to have an identity-shifting moment behind a closed shower door. Thankfully, if you're shopping with us, all our vibes are IPX7 friendly.
2. Grip is everything
Showers are slippery hazards; water also makes silicone even more slippery, and nobody wants to play “dodge the projectile vibrator” at 7.15am.
Look for shapes that fit comfortably in your hand, have a wide base, or have a textured handle. Smooth, tiny toys can turn into soap-bar chaos if you’re not prepared.
3. Choose the type of stimulation you enjoy
The shower intensifies sensations, so think about what your body likes:
-
Clitoral stimulation
External toys, suction toys, and wands all shine in warm water. -
Internal stimulation
Slimline vibes or rabbits can feel unreal in the shower, especially with the natural warmth. -
Hands-free
Suction-base toys are basically born for shower tiles. -
Temperature play
Glass toys glide beautifully under warm water, though you need a firm grip.
You're not looking for the “best toy”, you’re looking for the best toy for you.
Water just takes whatever you already love and turns it up to eleven.
Clit Toys That Love a Bit of Steam
Some toys become a whole different beast when you add heat.
Suction toys
Warm water makes clitoral circulation increase, which means suction feels dramatic in a very good way. Like in a “why am I suddenly weak in the knees?” way.
External vibrators
Little vibes with big personalities are perfect in the shower. They glide easily, they’re easy to position, and the water masks any sound. (It’s giving “main character in a shower scene”.)
Wands
Wands in the shower are a whole experience. The water hits you from one side, the wand hits you from the other, and suddenly you're having a sexual awakening before breakfast.
Speaking of wands…
What About Wanda
You know what your body likes (or maybe you're in the finding our process), and this definitely isn't us telling you to buy Wanda, unless you really want to, but we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t let you know that Wanda, with her wide head and waterproof design, is a showertime winner. She's got broad, deep clitoral stimulation that pairs ridiculously well with steam and warm water.
She’s a bit of a shower icon in the GGO community.
Internal Toys for Slippery Exploration
If clit-only isn’t your thing, internal toys also thrive in the shower.
Slimline internal vibes
Water adds confidence. Internal vibrators feel smoother, warmer, and easier to insert like Tiff or Lulu.
Rabbits + thrusting toys
The shower pressure + internal stimulation = a combo that has ended many a slump era. Try DeeDee from our range.
Double-ended or curved toys
Curved toys hit the G-spot more easily when your body is relaxed from the heat.
Again, your pleasure, your rules, but we'd recommend Elle.
Hands-Free Toys for Shower Acrobatics
Tiles are your best friend here.
Suction-base toys
Stick 'em to the wall, the floor, or wherever feels right, and you have an entirely new hands-free experience. Especially great if you're in a “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my morning orgasm” mood.
Just make sure whatever you’re sticking has:
-
A flared base
-
A strong suction cup
-
A safe design for internal use
Your body deserves safety, queen, which is why we'll recommend Dilly for this spicy sesh.
Booty-Friendly Options
Anal play can be UNREAL in the shower. The warm water relaxes muscles and reduces tension, but of course, the golden rule remains the same:
Flared base or do not go there.
Flared base or do! not! go! there!
Silicone plugs, particularly smaller beginner ones... cough Peaches cough, can feel extra nice when the body is warm and relaxed. Just pair with water-based lube, and you’re good to go.
Temperature Play
If you’ve ever run a glass toy under warm water, you know exactly why this section exists.
Glass becomes silky smooth and spa-like.In the shower, it feels luxurious, grounding, and a little bit indulgent, like the adult version of using the “fancy towels”.
Just keep a good grip because while glass is safe in water, your shower floor is a ruthless beast. Elle is a firm fave for this type of play.
Shower Tips for Next-Level Pleasure
After a lot of research, we can confirm that the line between “orgasmic epiphany” and “soap-slip disaster” is thinner than you think:
-
Soap is not lube.
Seriously, save yourself and your Queen V a trip to the pharmacy and use water-based lube if needed. -
Angle the shower head.
Hit your torso, not your face and you'll be thriving, girl. -
Hold onto the wall.
It’s not a gymnastics routine, you're not striving for a gold medal, so just slow down, grab the wall, wiggle like you're tryna make- sorry. Just hold onto the wall. -
Take your time.
Water helps you relax, let it. -
If someone asks why you were singing in the shower…
They don’t need to know the harmonies were accidental.
A little reminder before you rinse off…
If nobody has told you this, let us be the first:
Your pleasure is not extra. It’s not indulgent.
It’s not something to feel weird about.
It’s all yours.
You’re allowed to explore it, enjoy it, laugh about it, experiment with it, and make it as wet, warm, slippery, or scream-worthy as you like.
Girls Get Off was created so you never have to feel shame about your body again, inside or outside the shower.
The Happy Ending (Pun Intended)
Next time you step into the shower, don’t just go through the rubber-scrub-dub motions. Experiment a little.
Turn up the temperature, grab something waterproof.
Let the steam do half the seduction for you.
And if your neighbours hear…Well, you never know, they might get inspired.
