February 5th is National Shower Together Day—and yes, it technically started as a way for a shower filter company to promote reducing chlorine absorption by showering with your other “friend”, the shower filter.
But here at Boudoir Noir, we prefer a different interpretation.
We see it as the perfect excuse to turn your everyday rinse into something hot, steamy, and deliciously intimate.
Whether you’re sharing the shower with a partner or indulging in a little solo self-care, shower play can be sensual, exciting, and surprisingly intimate. Getting clean while getting dirty? That’s our kind of multitasking.
Why the Shower Is So Damn Sexy
There’s something about warm water cascading over bare skin that instantly lowers inhibitions. Your body is relaxed, your senses are heightened, and suddenly even the smallest touches feel electric.
For couples, showering together creates closeness—skin-to-skin, eye contact, shared heat. For solo play, it’s a private, luxurious space to explore your body with no rush and no distractions.
That said… the shower can be a little intimidating. Slippery surfaces, limited space, and awkward angles mean preparation is key if you want things to stay fun instead of hazardous.
Shower Sex Safety (Because Sexy Is Better When It’s Safe)
Before things get steamy, set the stage:
-
Use a non-slip mat to avoid accidental wipeouts
-
Skip grabbing towel bars or soap dishes—they’re not built to support you
-
Consider shower grips, foot rests, or a shower bench for added stability
A little prep goes a long way toward confidence—and confidence is sexy.
Lube Is Not Optional 🚿
Water is not a lubricant. In fact, prolonged water exposure can dry out sensitive skin and cause uncomfortable friction.
For shower play, silicone lubricant is your best friend. It won’t rinse away like water-based lube and keeps everything slick, smooth, and pleasurable. Trust us—this one change alone can completely upgrade your shower experience.
Foreplay First: Slow It Down
Don’t rush straight into positions. One of the sexiest parts of shower play is the build-up.
Try starting by:
-
Washing your partner with a sponge or hands
-
Using a vibrating loofah to tease and explore
-
Letting the water hit one of you while the other focuses on touch and kisses
Withhold direct skin-on-skin contact at first. Tease. Linger. Let anticipation do the heavy lifting.
Best Shower Sex Positions (That Actually Work)
Not every bedroom favorite translates well to tile and running water. These positions are popular for a reason—they’re safer, more comfortable, and incredibly hot.
Kneeling Oral
Remember: sex doesn’t have to mean penetration.
-
For oral on a penis, kneel in front of your partner or sit on the edge of the tub or a shower bench
-
For oral on a vulva, kneeling works beautifully—have her place one foot on the tub edge or drape her leg over your shoulder
Pro tip: throw a towel down for your knees (yes, it’ll get soaked—worth it).
Standing Mutual Masturbation
Face each other, get close, kiss, and let your hands explore. Mutual masturbation in the shower is intimate, visual, and incredibly arousing—and the closer you stand, the more you both get that hot water payoff.
Seated
If you have a shower bench, use it. One partner sits while the other straddles—facing toward or away. No bench? Sitting on the shower floor works too and keeps everyone grounded and relaxed.
Standing Doggy
Classic doggy, upgraded with water. Both partners stay standing, using the shower wall or tub edge for support. Simple, effective, and steamy.
Standing Missionary
Another reliable favorite. The receiving partner can place one foot on the tub edge or bench to improve access. An anti-slip mat here is a game changer.
Toys + Water = Next-Level Fun 💦
The shower is an amazing place to experiment with waterproof toys. Your body is warm, relaxed, and ultra-responsive—and cleanup couldn’t be easier.
-
Waterproof finger vibes add extra stimulation.
-
Detachable shower head? Turn it into a massager for an incredible foreplay tool.
-
Solo? This is prime time for self-discovery. Try a dildo with a suction cup base, perfect for sticking securely to the shower wall or tub for hands-free fun.
Boudoir Noir carries a wide selection of waterproof toys, available online and in our Fort Wayne and Evansville stores.
Final Thoughts: Go With the Flow
Shower sex doesn’t have to be perfect to be incredible. You might have to adjust, laugh, or try something new—but that’s part of the fun.
Focus on total-body sensation, closeness, and enjoying the moment as hot water runs over your skin. Whether it turns into full-on steam or just playful foreplay, National Shower Together Day is about connection, curiosity, and turning an everyday routine into something unforgettable.
So… who are you inviting into the shower on February 5th? 😉
