How to Know if Your Sex Toy is Waterproof<\/span><\/h2>\n

To know whether your sex toy is waterproof or not, you\u2019ll definitely have to double check the fine print. However, some sex toys will make it very easy for you to learn whether they’re waterproof or not, as it\u2019s often one of their major selling points. Then again there\u2019s lingo attached to the word \u2018waterproof\u2019 which may be misleading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a sex toy is waterproof, it will be extremely carefully designed. It\u2019ll be watertight and well-sealed, especially around the battery compartment, and the charging point will also be concealed so as not to let any water inside of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only way to know if your sex toy is waterproof, however, is to check all of the relevant details concerning your sex toy, and then make sure you understand the jargon attached to it. Which leads us to our next discussion…<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a difference between a sex toy being 100 percent waterproof and one being water resistant. And that\u2019s why there are several IPX ratings that exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

IP rating stands for \u201cIngress Protection\u201d, and is a way in which to measure how well a device is protected from both solid objects and liquids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cI\u201d refers to solids, while the \u201cP\u201d refers to liquids (you may have seen sex toys that come with a rating that starts with IP). If a sex toy has an IP rating, it means that they\u2019ve actually been specially tested by a certified and independent company so that it\u2019s accurate and verified.<\/span><\/p>\n
