Once you have a perfect waterproof dildo, going into the bathroom only requires playing and exploring. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, you can find the best shower dildos at sextoysstore. After you’re familiar with using a dildo indoors, and feel unsatisfied with only indoor use, you should learn how to enjoy your dildo in the shower! The shower is the only place where you can quietly release stress. Please make sure the dildo you use is waterproof. In choosing a waterproof dildo, let’s use this guide to learn how

Which Types of Dildos Can I Use in the Shower?

Nowadays there are many kinds of sex toys to choose from. If you’re looking for toys best suited for the shower, you should try dildos with a suction cup. The base has a suction cup that can stick to any smooth surface, which is very suitable for enjoying a bit of fun in the shower.

Silicone Dildos

We recommend silicone as your first choice for a shower dildo. Silicone is non-porous, medical-grade, non-toxic, and odorless. It is safer to use in the shower, and you can use professional cleaners directly to clean the dildo.

Glass Dildos

Glass dildos are a perfect match with the shower and can be used there—borosilicate glass (pyrex) won’t shatter. Glass performs well underwater, but it’s best used in the bathtub. We recommend extra caution, because a glass dildo dropped from a height may be damaged and hurt you. Although it is perfect for temperature play and the shower, we still suggest using it within the bathtub area.

Ejaculating Dildos

Dildos with a “squirting” function are very stimulating in the shower. They simulate a real ejaculation and can be used directly, because the “cum squirting dildo” can be sprayed anywhere, letting you enjoy wild, realistic experiences in the bathroom. You can also use water-based lube with similar texture as a substitute for the “cum,” so you can enjoy multiple sensations in the shower.

Suction Cup Dildos

A dildo with a strong suction cup at the end has even stronger functionality. It can stick anywhere in the bathroom—on the wall, on your shower glass door, or on your bathtub!

You can swing and use the dildo freely, combining it with the shower stream to spark your imagination. Whether solo or with a partner, a suction-cup dildo is the first choice for shower play.

Metal Dildos

Metal dildos are best for temperature play. Using a metal dildo in the shower is endless fun. They often have a curved shape, suitable for use in the tub. With hot water, they warm quickly and hold temperature well!

Things to Note When Using Sex Toys in the Bathroom

Lubricants

Water-based lube is the most common first choice among lubes, but how should we choose and use lube in the shower?

During a shower, even though water is present, you still need lube. In fact, water washes away natural oils. When using sex toys, you should use lubricant to avoid vaginal or anal dryness or tearing. If you want to have penetrative sex in the shower, it’s best to apply lube! This will make you and your partner comfortable and allow you to enjoy the experience as much as possible.

Silicone-based lube is waterproof and does not react with water. It is usually oil-like, easy to clean, and does not need to be reapplied frequently. It stays slick, so there’s less risk of slippage. The best lube to bring into the shower is silicone-based lube. However, silicone-based lube will break down silicone toys—so if your toy is silicone, it’s better to choose an oil-based lube. You may need to reapply more frequently.

That said, silicone lube cannot be used with silicone toys. We know—this sounds counterintuitive. That’s because silicone lube can cause silicone toys to degrade over time. So, if you want to use silicone toys in the shower, you need to use them without silicone lube, or use water-based/oil-based lube and reapply more often. Of course, if you’re using the toy vaginally, your own secretions can help somewhat—but for anal use, you must use a specialized anal lube.

Best Positions for Using a Dildo in the Shower

Doggy Style (Rear Entry)

First, apply lube to prepare your dildo. If you like rear-entry, choose a curved dildo for better stimulation from behind. Stick the suction cup to a smooth surface—such as a wall or the glass door. Insert slowly, turn on the shower head, and enjoy. Adjust the height to what feels most comfortable and natural for bending over. Set your hips onto the dildo and you’re ready! The larger the suction cup, the more suitable it is for rear-entry motion—you can swing freely. Suction cup dildos adhere perfectly to flat surfaces with water present. If you want more stimulation, use a waterproof vibrator while you play.

Cowgirl (Riding)

Imagine your dildo is your lover and straddle it. Once your dildo is firmly attached in your chosen spot, you can slowly sit down and ride as you wish. Steam from hot water will heighten arousal; pairing with an ejaculating dildo will make the mood even more intense!

If you are playing with a partner, you can try a double ended dildo and use it together.

Waterproof toys come in many varieties, and there are many ways to use them in the shower—whether alone or with a partner. But let’s return to what you really want to know: how to use a dildo in the shower (especially suction-cup dildos). Suction-cup dildos work extremely well in the shower because you can stick them anywhere and then ride them.

Toy Care After Shower Play

1. Detach the toy and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
   
   

2. Wash with a mild, unscented soap or a toy cleaner.
   
   

3. For silicone, glass, or stainless steel (non-motorized) follow the maker’s deep-clean guidance as desired.
   
   

4. Pat dry and air-dry completely; store in a clean pouch away from other toys.
   
   

5. Wipe the suction base and shower surface to keep them residue-free for next time.
   

Quick Troubleshooting

• Suction won’t stick? Clean & dry the surface and base; avoid grout lines or textured tile. Press firmly from the center out to remove air bubbles.
  
  

• Lube washing away? Switch to silicone-based (unless using a silicone toy), or reapply thicker water-based lube more frequently.
  
  

• Glass or metal feels too intense? Warm the toy under the shower for a minute, then test with more lube and slower pacing.
