Slippery When Wet: Waterproof Lube Tips for Pool, Shower & Spa Play

Slippery When Wet: Waterproof Lube Tips for Pool, Shower & Spa Play

Wet & Wild? You’re Gonna Need the Right Lube 💧

It’s summer. You’re half-naked. The shower’s steamy, the pool’s warm, the spa’s bubbling—and you’re feeling very ready for some wet-and-wild action.

But here’s the truth no one tells you:
Not all lubes are built for water play.

In fact, most water-based lubes will vanish the second you add actual water to the mix. (Irony, right?)

So, if you’re planning anything slippery, sexy, and splash-adjacent—you need to know what works where.


🌊 Water-Based vs. Silicone: What’s the Deal?

Water-Based Lube

Water-based lubes are GREAT for everyday play—but not for water environments.

The second it hits water (like in the shower or hot tub), it breaks down and washes away. Fast. Like, “wait… where’d it go?” fast.

  • ✔️ Body-safe, toy-safe, condom-safe
  • Not waterproof
  • Not ideal for wet zones

 

Silicone-Based Lube (Like Happy Lube Silicone)

This is your MVP for anything involving water!

Silicone lubes don’t dissolve in water, so they’ll stay slick even in the shower, pool, or spa.

  • ✔️ Long-lasting glide
  • ✔️ Ultra-smooth texture
  • ✔️ Waterproof + spa-approved
  • Not compatible with silicone toys (but fine for most skin contact)

 

Best Places to Get Slippery (and What to Use):

🛁 In the Shower

Great acoustics. Warm water. Skin-on-skin.
Just make sure you’ve got Happy Lube Silicone on hand—or things might dry out real quick.

Pro Tip: Apply lube before you step under the water stream to lock in the glide.

🏖️ In the Pool

Chlorine + water = instant lube-killer (unless it’s silicone).
Also: avoid public pools unless you’re into… awkward situations.

Pro Tip: Stick to your own space and clean off after.
Use a gentle toy & body cleaner to stay fresh.

💦 In the Hot Tub/Spa

The bubbles. The heat. The body contact.
Hot tubs are basically foreplay if done right—but only if you’ve got a lube that can handle the heat and water.

Pro Tip: Stay hydrated (all that heat = dehydration = possible discomfort). Also, avoid anything too vigorous—heat can amplify sensitivity.
