When you've got a family, a house, a career, or some combination of all 3 to take care of, it can sometimes feel like you've got no time for you to take care of yourself.

However, depending on your bathing habits, you may actually be able to squeeze in 15 minutes a day of dirty fun while you get clean! You can even save a bit on your water bill if you manage to coordinate with your partner and jump in the shower together for a lusty lathering session...

Shower sex doesn't have to be something that only looks like it feels good (thanks, Hollywood)! There's a variety of positions that work in the shower, though your mileage may vary depending on the size and shape of your shower, and whether you've got any stabilising furniture, a railing, or even a non-slip mat. Our favourite is Standing Doggy Style since you get that *deep* penetration and extra stability thanks to the wall, which is important in a slippery wet environment.

How to perform the Standing Doggy Style position in the shower

Start with both partners standing, with the receiver placing their palms against the shower wall and leaning forward with a slight bend in their knees for balance. You can also position yourselves so the giver is leaning back against the wall. The giver holds onto the other person's hips or elbows from behind, keeping their feet on the floor as they thrust, finger, or use a sex toy to enter the receiver. If you're feeling extra adventurous, the receiving partner can bend over further and get their lover to hold them by their wrists or hands!

Water can wash away your body's natural lubrication, so we recommend using a silicone-based lubricant that won't disappear under the shower stream. The Swiss Navy Silicone Lubricant is a great option since it comes in an ergonomic pump bottle you can use one-handed, perfect for frisky moments in potentially cramped and slippery environments!

No partner? No problem. If you've got an adjustable showerhead, you may want to familiarise yourself with the, ahem, jet setting, if you know what we mean. For a more high-tech option, there's a huge range of waterproof sex toys on the market. Our top pick is the newly released We-Vibe Touch X! This sleek little vibrating massager is contoured to follow the curves of your body and has a round, pointed tip for super precise stimulation. It's well-suited to clitoral or nipple use, and is also completely waterproof for safe use in the shower or bath (not that any of us have the luxury of being able to run a bath these days, let alone the time to soak in it). Plus, it's palm-sized so it's easy to slip into a dressing gown pocket and smuggle out with you, even if you're accosted by little hands the second you step out of the bathroom.
