A waterproof vibrator is one you can take into the bath or shower without worrying about the motor, the battery or the seal. The catch is that "waterproof" on a box can mean anything from "survives a splash" to "fine under a metre of water", and the difference decides whether the toy lasts a year or a month. This guide explains the IPX ratings in plain words, then compares the seven submersible toys we stock at Red Pleasures, a Canadian online shop, with live Canadian prices on November 7, 2026 and every spec taken from the product's own page.

What does "waterproof vibrator" actually mean?
It means the toy carries a water-ingress rating from the IEC 60529 standard, written as "IP" plus two digits. The second digit is the water score, and only a 7 or 8 means the toy can be submerged. An X in place of the first digit just means no dust rating was tested.
According to the standard as summarised on Wikipedia's IP code page, the levels you will see on sex toys are:
- IPX4, splash-proof: "Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect." Shower spray is fine; a bath is not.
- IPX5 and IPX6, water jets: rinsing under a tap is fine. Still not a bath toy.
- IPX7, immersion to 1 m: "Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water." The test lasts 30 minutes with the toy 1 m under the surface. This is the rating to look for.
- IPX8, continuous immersion: deeper or longer than IPX7, on terms the manufacturer sets. Rare on sex toys.
Two practical notes follow from this. First, a listing that says "waterproof" or "water-resistant" with no IP rating is a marketing word, not a test result; we flag those below. Second, IPX7 is tested in still, fresh water for half an hour, so a bath is well within the rating, while a hot tub full of chlorinated water at 40 °C is not what the test covers. Rinse any toy in clean water after a hot tub.

Each waterproof pick in detail
1. Magic Wand Waterproof (Hitachi) Rechargeable Wand Vibrator ($199.89 CAD)
This is the full-size Magic Wand vibrator built for the bath. It is rated IPX7, so it can go fully under water, and it is the strongest wand in the family: up to 7,000 RPM across four intensity levels and four patterns. The brand calls it the most powerful Magic Wand massager it has made. It is a rechargeable wand with a soft silicone head on a flexible neck, about 13 in (33 cm) long with a 2.25 in (5.7 cm) head, made in Japan, model HV-360. The one rule is the blue cover plug at the base: push it in fully before the toy gets wet, and dry the wand completely before charging. The trade-off is price, although it is currently listed below its $262.95 compare-at price and qualifies for free insured shipping. For how it compares with the corded Original and Plus, read our Magic Wand vibrator guide.
2. We-Vibe Tango X Waterproof Rechargeable Ball Vibrator ($79.20 CAD)
The Tango X is a lipstick-sized bullet, about 3.93 in (10 cm) long and under an inch wide, rated IPX7 for the shower or bath. It has 7 vibration modes and 8 intensity levels, runs up to 2 hours on a charge, and clips to a magnetic USB charger that We-Vibe says takes 90 minutes. The body is ABS plastic with a silicone grip, and there is a travel lock so it cannot switch on in a wash bag. Buy it if you want precise, pinpoint stimulation in the water at a modest price. Skip it if you prefer the broad, spread-out feel of a wand head. It comes in Midnight Blue or Cherry Red and carries a two-year warranty.
3. plusOne Rechargeable Waterproof Vibrating Wand Massager ($67.38 CAD)
The plusOne is a mid-sized rechargeable wand, 7.4 in (18.8 cm) long with a 1.6 in head, made from phthalate-free, BPA-free, latex-free silicone. It has 10 settings from gentle to intense, a lithium-ion battery with a low-battery light, and magnetic USB charging. The product page describes it as fully waterproof for the bath or shower but gives no IP code, so we list it as shower-first and treat bath use as the maker's claim rather than a tested rating. It is for external use, with water-based lube only. Buy it as a lighter, cheaper shower wand; skip it if you want the depth of a full-size wand or a published IPX7 rating.
4. Je Joue Classic Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator ($78.38 CAD)
Je Joue builds this bullet around a low-frequency motor, so the vibration is rumbly rather than buzzy, which is unusual at this size. It is 4.75 in (12 cm) long with a soft silicone tip, has 5 speeds and 7 patterns on a three-button control, charges by USB and ships with a finger-sleeve attachment for hands-free use. The listing says "100% waterproof for bath and spa" but, like the plusOne, gives no IP code. Buy it if you want a small toy with deep vibration and a sleeve for couples' play. Skip it if the exact rating matters to you, or read our bullet vibrator guide for more small options.
5. Womanizer Starlet 3 Pleasure Air Clitoral Stimulator ($99.99 CAD)
The Starlet 3 is not a vibrator in the strict sense. It uses Womanizer's Pleasure Air, an air-pulse that works through a sealed head without touching the clitoris directly, and the sensation is suction-like rather than a buzz. It is rated IPX7 and fully submersible, 11.7 cm (4.61 in) long, with six intensity levels and one stimulation head. It runs about 30 minutes on a 30-minute charge over magnetic pins. Buy it as the least expensive way to try air-pulse in the bath. Skip it if you want long sessions, because 30 minutes is the shortest runtime on this list. Use water-based lube only and never boil it. Our clit sucker guide explains how the seal works.
6. Womanizer Premium 2 Pleasure Air Clitoral Stimulator (from $159.20 CAD)
The Premium 2 is the top of the Womanizer range and the longest runner here: 240 minutes on a 120-minute charge. It is rated IPX7, 15.5 cm (6.1 in) long, with 14 intensity levels, two stimulation heads in S and M, Smart Silence that only starts the motor as it nears your skin, and an Autopilot mode that cycles intensities for you. Black, Bordeaux, Blueberry and Gray are $159.20; Raspberry is $179.20. Buy it for long baths and a gentle lowest setting. Skip it if you do not need Smart Silence or Autopilot, because the air-pulse itself is the same as on the cheaper models. It qualifies for free insured shipping.
7. Lovense Lush Mini App-Controlled Wearable Egg Vibrator ($176.89 CAD)
The Lush Mini is the only wearable on the list. It is a 31 mm silicone egg weighing 58 g, with a 3.79 in insertable length, controlled from the Lovense Remote app by you or a partner anywhere with a signal. It is rated IPX7, so it can be worn in the bath or rinsed under the tap, runs up to 236 minutes per charge, and a 7-minute charge gives about an hour. Lovense rates it at 36 dB on its lowest setting. Buy it for G-spot stimulation and long-distance play. Skip it if you want strong external stimulation on its own; it is an internal toy first. It is listed below its $199.80 compare-at price and ships free. Our Lovense Lush guide compares it with the Lush 4.
How do you choose a waterproof vibrator?
Decide where it will actually get wet, then match the rating, then pick the shape. A shower toy and a bath toy are different purchases, and a hot-tub toy is a third thing again.
- Bath or hot tub: insist on IPX7. It is the only common rating tested by immersion. Five of our seven picks carry it.
- Shower only: IPX4 or better will do, but IPX7 still gives you headroom if the toy drops into the tub.
- No rating on the page: treat it as shower-first. The plusOne and Je Joue say "waterproof" without a code. They may be perfectly sealed, but nobody has published the test.
- Shape decides the feel. A wand head spreads deep, rumbly vibration over the whole vulva. A bullet concentrates it on one point. Air-pulse toys pulse air over the clitoris through a seal. A wearable egg stimulates internally.
- Rechargeable wand or corded wand? Every pick here is rechargeable, because a corded toy can never be waterproof. If you love the corded Magic Wand massager feel, the Waterproof is the rechargeable wand that keeps it.
- Check the charging port. Magnetic charging contacts (Tango X, plusOne, Womanizer, Lush Mini) have nothing to let water in. A cover plug, as on the Magic Wand Waterproof, is only waterproof while it is closed.
- Runtime matters more in the bath. You cannot plug in mid-session. The Starlet 3 gives 30 minutes; the Premium 2 gives 240.
- Lube. Water washes away water-based lube quickly, so apply it just before you get in and reapply as needed. Silicone lube lasts in water but damages silicone toys, as our silicone vs water-based lube guide explains.

How do you use a vibrator in the bath or shower?
Charge it fully, close any cover plug, start on the lowest setting, and keep lube within reach. Water changes how a toy feels, so expect to use a lower intensity than you would in bed.
- Charge before you run the water. Unplug the charger and, on the Magic Wand Waterproof, push the blue cover plug in until it sits flush.
- Check the rating one more time. IPX7 can go under. Anything else stays above the waterline.
- Apply water-based lube just before use. Warm water rinses it off, so keep the bottle on the edge of the tub.
- Start low and let the toy rest, not press. Wands and air-pulse toys both work better with light contact.
- Use the travel lock on the way in and out if the toy has one, so it does not switch on in a bag or drawer.
- Rinse in clean water afterwards, especially after a hot tub, then wash and dry as described below.
How do you clean, charge and dry a waterproof vibrator?
Switch it off, wash it in warm water with mild soap or a toy cleaner, rinse, and dry it completely, charging contacts included, before it goes near a charger. Being waterproof makes washing easier; it does not make drying optional.
- Wash after every use. The Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) notes that "Cleaning the sex toy properly after each use can also help prevent the spread of STIs and bacteria" (SMSNA).
- Sharing: the same SMSNA page advises that "If a sex toy is to be used by more than one person, put a new condom on the toy before using it each time."
- IPX7 toys (Magic Wand Waterproof, Tango X, Starlet 3, Premium 2, Lush Mini) can be rinsed under the tap. Pay attention to seams: the rim inside a Womanizer head, the neck of the Lush Mini, the ABS-to-silicone join on the Tango X.
- Unrated toys (plusOne, Je Joue): wash with a soapy cloth and rinse briefly rather than soaking.
- Never boil or dishwash any toy with a battery inside. Womanizer and Lovense both warn that the electronics will fail.
- Dry the charging contacts with a lint-free cloth before charging. Magic Wand's own care note is to dry the Waterproof completely before it goes on the charger.
- Store dry and apart from other silicone toys, out of direct sun. Our guide to cleaning sex toys safely covers every material.
Is it safe to use a vibrator in the bath?
Yes, if it is a sealed, battery-powered toy with a submersion rating. Never take a corded, mains-powered massager anywhere near water: the corded Magic Wand Original and Plus are both listed as not made for use in or around water. The two health questions people ask most are about numbness and about hygiene.
- Numbness: strong vibration can leave you temporarily numb. The International Society for Sexual Medicine says "the effects are generally temporary" and that "taking a break from using the vibrator is all that is needed" (ISSM). Numbness that lasts more than a day is a reason to see a doctor.
- Hygiene: bath water is not clean water. Wash the toy after the bath, not just before. SMSNA also advises that toys "should also be washed properly between using them on different parts of the body."
- Heat: a toy left in very hot water for a long time is outside the IPX7 test conditions. Keep sessions reasonable and rinse afterwards.
- Pain or irritation: stop, rinse, and see a sexual health clinic if it does not settle.
How we chose and ranked these picks
We started from every active product in our store whose page states a water rating or calls itself waterproof, then kept only toys that are purchasable today. We ranked IPX7 toys above toys with no published code, then ordered them by how many people each one suits. The Magic Wand Waterproof leads because it is the only full-size wand we sell that can go under water. The Tango X follows for value, and the rest are ordered by type so there is a wand, a bullet, two air-pulse toys and a wearable. Every price is the live store price on the date stated. Where a page gives no IP code, we say so instead of upgrading the claim.
Red Pleasures is an online store that ships in plain, discreet packaging across Canada and the USA. Orders of $150 or more ship free with insured shipping; below that, insured shipping is $14.99.
FAQ
What is the best waterproof vibrator for the bath?
For power, the Magic Wand Waterproof ($199.89 CAD): it is rated IPX7 and reaches 7,000 RPM. For a smaller budget, the We-Vibe Tango X ($79.20 CAD) is also IPX7. Both can be fully submerged.
Is IPX7 enough for a bath?
Yes. IPX7 is tested by immersing the device 1 m under water for 30 minutes under IEC 60529. A bath is shallower and most sessions are shorter than that.
Can a waterproof vibrator go in a hot tub?
An IPX7 toy will survive it, but the test uses still fresh water, not hot chlorinated water. Rinse the toy in clean water straight afterwards and dry it fully.
Is the Magic Wand Waterproof really submersible?
Yes. It is rated IPX7 and the product page says it is fully submersible, as long as the blue cover plug at the base is pushed in. It is the only Magic Wand vibrator in the family with that rating.
Are Womanizer toys waterproof?
The Starlet 3 and Premium 2 we stock are both rated IPX7 and fully submersible. Pull the stimulation head off to wash it, and never boil either toy.
Can you use lube in the bath?
Yes, but water-based lube rinses away quickly, so apply it just before use and reapply as needed. Do not use silicone lube on silicone toys.
How do you dry a waterproof vibrator before charging?
Wipe it with a lint-free cloth, paying attention to the charging contacts or cover plug, and leave it to air-dry fully. Only then connect the charger.
What if my order arrives faulty?
All sales are final, but if an item arrives damaged, faulty, incomplete or not what you ordered, message us within 14 days of delivery by email or WhatsApp and you choose a replacement or a full refund. Full details are in our refund policy.
