How do you test waterproof vibes?

Contributor: CamoCutie CamoCutie
As we all know, vibrators are either waterproof or not. Seeing how some of these are actual waterproof/submersible vibes and some are really only splash proof, how do you actually test which ones are waterproof, compared to the ones that are only splash proof?

Captivating topic discussions on Waterproof vibrators:

Waterproof 7-Function Remote G-bullet batteries
I have been having trouble with the remote working properly and I think it may be the batteries. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement..

Which waterproof vibrator is the best out of the three?
I am debating between these to get one.

Is a toy being waterproof important to you?
Personally I think it's important, I'm always scared of getting lube or bodily fluids in the wrong places on non-waterproof toys! :/ And it's nice to.

G4 Big Boss Vs Waterproof jack rabbit
I would like to find out which product is more likely to get a person to orgasm. Also which toy you can use in more ways.

Typically, toys with DC motors are waterproof and are almost always rechargeable, or if they aren't rechargeable then they have a silicone O-ring between the cap and battery compartment to keep water out. Splash-proof toys have neither of these things. If there are spaces between buttons, caps, and the like then the toy is merely splash-proof at best. Waterproof toys are going to have tight seals all the way around.

I would actually say that toys with an open DC port are often not waterproof, since water getting into there is often bad. There are exceptions, like many of LELO's toys, but generally I've seen full waterproof toys using magnetic charging.

Depending on the manufacturer and the warranty, if you're still unsure after what Stormy said, you can always try to use the toy in the water. Be very careful and be sure to read through all of the papers that came with the toy before doing this though!

You could always contact the company directly as well, or read through the reviews of the toy!

The DC port is fine, the motor itself if exposed would pose an issue, but water in a DC port is not going to short-circuit the battery. It's only an issue if the water gets PAST the connection into the toy itself, which is unlikely in the case of silicone encased toys.


Case in point: you could take a car battery and throw it into the bottom of a river, pull it out and it would work just fine so long as the casing didn't break.

I test mine in a little water in the sink before I take it into the tub or shower with me.

I use mine in the shower, but none of my toys ever really get submerged. If it charges using induction, then it's definitely waterproof.
