When it comes to pleasure products, the amount available can be daunting! Sometimes the price tag, control and buttons, or even the shape and size can make finding the right one for you seem like an overwhelming task. With the WaterSlyde by Lovability, look no further than your own bathroom! 

The WaterSlyde is a simple attachment that turns your bathtub faucet into your very own sex toy. The innovative design allows a gentler build up that isn’t typically found with traditional sex toys. Also, if you’ve had difficulty finding a toy because you experience painful sex, this might be the toy for you as you’re in control of the intensity and no penetration required! With its sleek and non-confrontational design, this is a toy you’ll want to check out.

If you wanted to receive hands free water stimulation, you’d usually have to awkwardly scoot and wiggle your torso down to the end of your tub where the faucet was. Then you hopefully had enough room to open your legs or put them up against the wall for the water to access your vulva. Also, this was all done while the water was running. It isn’t a graceful sight to say the least. With the WaterSlyde, you can easily set the water to the temperature and flow of your choice, attach the device, and lay back and enjoy the flow.

Many people I work with find warm water to be a relaxing sensation and that in turn can help your body relax and create its own lubrication. As some vulva owners often take longer to warm up to sexual arousal, the slow, steady trickle of water can help build arousal to a new level. This can be beneficial for people who experience a slower build to arousal, who are post-menopausal, or who want to have an extended play session with themselves.

If you are someone who has mobility issues, The WaterSlyde is a great product to try. With many pleasure products on the market, they require some sort of active use—whether that is you holding the toy against yourself or the need to insert and remove the toy. With the WaterSlyde, you can set it and forget it! Well, not forget it, but forget the need to have to hold it against you. You can literally sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

The sneaky genius behind the WaterSlyde is that if anyone finds it, they really aren’t too sure about what it is or what it is for; it is simply a sleek, colorful water-diverter, and not raunchy or explicit in any way. This can be beneficial in situations where sex toys are illegal (currently outlawed in two states), shared living situations, or travel. And since this is done in the privacy of the bath, no one is going to think twice if they hear the water running—just make sure not to flood the space!

As with any kind of pleasure product, they come with a few ground rules. Make sure that you check the temperature of the water you’re using. Too hot you can burn your sensitive tissues and too cold may cause cramping or discomfort. Also, be sure that the water stream is not going inside of the vagina. While there is nothing inherently dangerous about water near the vagina, a direct stream into it can cause discomfort and upset the balance of bacteria and lead to yeast infections. It’s why we don’t recommend douching. Also, be mindful whenever you step in or out of the tub. You could slip, especially if still not fully back to earth during your post orgasm bliss, so stay alert!

If you haven’t had the opportunity to explore with water play, consider adding the WaterSlyde to your bag of tricks. It’s affordable, fits most tub faucets, accessible, discreet, travel safe, and doesn't require batteries!
