Dry Off Completely
Moisture = bacteria’s best friend. Use fresh towels to dry your body, especially sensitive areas. Air-dry toys fully before storing.
Reapply Moisture or Lube
Bathroom water and soap can dry out delicate skin. After rinsing, reapply a toy-safe moisturizer or aloe-based soothing gel.
Dispose of Condoms Properly
Wrap used condoms in tissue and throw them in the trash never flush.
Clean Your Toys Immediately
Use warm water and antibacterial toy cleaner or unscented soap. For IPX7+ waterproof toys, fully submerge and scrub gently.

Pee after sex, avoid sharing towels, and stay alert for signs of UTI or yeast infections. If you notice redness, itching, or unusual discharge pause play and consult a doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to have sex in the shower or tub?
Yes—if you're cautious. Use non-slip mats, waterproof lube, and avoid balancing on wet surfaces. Always prioritize stability and clear communication.
What kind of lube should I use for shower sex?
A silicone-based lubricant works best. It’s water-resistant and stays slick longer than water-based lubes, which wash off easily.
Can I use sex toys in the bath?
Absolutely—just ensure they are marked as waterproof (IPX6 or higher). Jissbon’s couples toys are designed for safe use in wet environments.
What’s the best bathroom sex position for beginners?
“Throne Ride” or “Back-to-Tile” are great starter options—they’re stable, comfortable, and don’t require much flexibility or balance.
How do I clean up after bathroom sex?
Rinse yourself and your toys with warm water and gentle soap. Dry completely, clean surfaces, dispose of used condoms, and wash towels promptly.
Does Water Reduce Condom Effectiveness?
Yes, it can. Prolonged exposure to hot water or intense friction can weaken latex.
To stay protected:
-
Use polyurethane condoms for better durability in water.
-
Check the fit — loose condoms are more likely to let water in or slip off.
-
Avoid oil-based products in the tub as they degrade latex.
Best Lube for Silicone Toys in Water?
Use water-based lube when playing with silicone toys in water. Here’s why:
-
Silicone-based lube can degrade silicone toys, causing damage over time.
-
Water-based lubes are body-safe and compatible—but may need reapplication.
How to Avoid Yeast Infections/UTIs After Tub Play?
Warm water play can increase the risk of infections, but these steps help you stay safe:
-
Always pee after sex – Flushes bacteria from the urethra.
-
Rinse thoroughly – Use warm water to clean external genitals after play.
-
Avoid soap inside the vagina or anus – It disrupts the natural pH balance.
-
Use a pH-balanced wash (if needed) and dry completely afterward.
-
Don’t share towels or bathwater during extended sessions.
