5 Tips for Better Bathsturbation

5 Tips for Better Bathsturbation

Get the most out of your private time

For years, my bathtub was the only real private space I had. So, I made the most of it. 

I shared a pretty small apartment with my husband and our toddler. 

Then another toddler. And then another. 

We were all over each other. Every single space was shared - except for one.

I got really into bubblebaths because that’s one place I could go to actually unwind and relax. 

It’s where I’d go if I needed to be by myself for a little while.

It also became my favorite masturbation spot. 

I could get myself off in bed too, but it had to be lightning quick. I’d lock the door, throw myself on the bed, and ride my vibrator before anyone came looking for me. 

The shower worked too. I made sure to get a really good massaging showerhead so every soapy shower could end with a rinse and an orgasm.

But the bath was the only place I didn’t have to rush. 

I could take my time. I could touch and tease myself. I could lose myself in a full-blown fantasy instead of making myself come to short closeup fingering videos - not that there’s anything wrong with that. 

Those long, wet jilling sessions were so satisfying that they turned me into a full fledged bathsturbator. Even now that I have a lot more privacy, I still like to take my sex toys to the bath. 

There’s just no reason to stop - solo bath sessions are great. But there are a few things you can do to make them even more enjoyable.

Use the Right Kind of Toy

There are two things that make a sex toy great for the bath.

The most obvious one is that it has to be waterproof. Not all toys are, even if they look like they might be. Even the ones that are completely covered in silicone might have a charging port that can’t handle being submerged. 

Some toys are only water resistant. That’s an awesome feature because it means you can clean them more easily. But dunking it in the tub could ruin them.

So, check the specs on your favorite ones to make sure they’re bath friendly.

The other thing you need is a toy that doesn’t involve a lot of friction.

The bath washes away all your natural lubrication, which makes a lot of insertable toys a lot less comfortable to use. You can still use dildos and rabbits if you really want to, but they’ll take more work and patience than they would in bed. 

You can use silicone lube, too. It won’t wash away as easily as the water-based stuff, so it’s a great choice for the bath. But I tend to keep it simple and play with toys I can enjoy without lubing up. 

A waterproof clit vibrator is a really good option. If you have one you love playing with in bed, you’ll definitely enjoy it in the bath too.

I especially love playing with clit suckers, though. I tend to find them really strong - too strong sometimes. But using them under water makes them feel less intense, which makes the stimulation better and the orgasms even more powerful. 

Turn Your Phone Into a Smut Hub

The bath is really the perfect place to enjoy all sorts of filth. 

You’re chilled out and feeling great, so you can watch full-length porn scenes without clicking through the storyline and the setup. 

You can play some audio porn and take in all the arousing sounds while you soak. 

If you’re into erotica, you’ve got a perfect place to read it without getting interrupted or distracted.

Whatever you use to turn yourself on, make sure it’s on your phone and easy to access.

Load all your audio porn in advance. Make sure you have enough reading material to last you until you’re out of bubbles. And keep your phone browser signed in to your favorite porn sites

I hate fucking around with logins and stuff like that, so I’ve got shortcuts to all the porn sites I use on my homescreen.

The less work you have to do to find something to get off to, the faster you can get in a naughty mood. So make sure you set yourself up ahead of time. 

Keep Your Tub Clean

Okay, so doing chores isn’t exactly sexy. But that’s kind of the point. The last thing you want on your mind when you’re in the bath is all the cleaning you have to do.

So, make sure it’s done. 

Keep the tub scrubbed and the mirror clean. Don’t leave too much clutter on the counter. Give the floor a quick sweep if it needs one. 

A messy space makes it harder to get in a dirty mood. It gets in the way of you relaxing and letting your mind drift away.

So if your bathroom’s due for a cleaning, give it one. If you can stay on top of it, your solo sessions are going to be way more enjoyable. 

Give Yourself Some Real Privacy

Locking the door is a no brainer. Unless you live alone, I’m sure you’ve got that one covered already.

But if you’ve got other people in your home, that might not be enough for privacy.

If someone might be listening on the other side of the door, that’s just no good. If anyone comes knocking to ask you a question, it’ll take you right out of it. 

So, make sure you’ve got some legit privacy. Not just time in the bath, but time when no one is going to bother you.

I usually tell my husband when I’m going for a bath and he knows what that means. So, he keeps the kids busy and makes sure they don’t come looking for me. 

If you need to tell a little white lie to get that kind of space, that’s fine. If saying you’ve got a headache and need some quiet time is what it takes to get a few solid orgasms, there’s really no harm in that. 

Turn the Harsh Lights Off

Bathroom lighting is great for doing your makeup and getting ready, but it’s about as unsexy as it gets. 

If you’ve got any other options, they’re going to be better.

If your bathroom gets a bit of decent natural light, you can give yourself some solo time before it gets too dark.

Lighting some candles is really good, too. It creates a very relaxing mood, and that’s perfect for any kind of bathtime fun. 

Get Wet, Have a Blast

Getting in the bath and getting off go really well together.

You’re completely alone. You’re as relaxed as you can get. You’re naked and your skin is smooth and slippery to the touch.

It’s almost like it was designed to put you in the mood.

So, you might as well take advantage of it. 

Get the bath nice and warm, bring one of your favorite toys along with you, and treat yourself to the kind of climax that’s going to make the water splash.
