Position of the Week: Steamy Shimmy

Welcome to the Steamy Shimmy – where warm water meets HOT play. One partner reclines in the tub with the other on their lap in a bubble-filled bath... imagine wet skin on skin with full permission to explore slow, sensual intimacy.

How?

The Steamy Shimmy is a slow-burn kind of ride. Take your time with gentle thrusts, rhythmic grinding, and a soft slide up or down to find that just right angle – ideal for G-spot or P-spot stimulation.

Touch your lover’s lips and nipples, following your intuition to play with their sensitive areas until they’re desperate to climax... You’re crafting a build-up of geyser proportions!

For maximum sexiness, make sure the bathroom fan is turned off and replace any overhead lights with soft focus ones or candles (placed in a safe place where they won’t get knocked over, of course).

Why?

Whether you're diving into deep penetration or just in the mood for teasing touches, this position sets the perfect scene. The Steamy Shimmy offers great potential to let your hands wander – and lots of silky-smooth skin contact.

The water helps support your weight so the person on the bottom can be (happily) sat upon for longer. You'll be sexily splashing about like a couple of water nymph(omaniac)s! Our tip? Grab silicone lube for long-lasting slippery sensations that won’t wash immediately away.

Make it even easier

A little extra slickness goes a long way – silicone lube is better for underwater action because it’s oilier and won’t just mingle into the water. Just make sure any toys you're playing with are compatible with silicone lube.

If you’re exploring anal or playing with a bigger dildo than you’re used to, it may be an idea to smooth some lube onto the toy and slide onto it while the water is still running. That way, the lube won’t be washed away once submerged (because it’s already inside you!).

Try a suction cup dildo so it’ll stay in place on the bottom of the bath. Now you’re free for a wet, wild ride...

Make it even better

Looking to amp things up? Waterproof toys are your best bath-time buddies. From couple’s kits to solo favorites like clitoral suction vibes, rabbit vibrators, or a well-placed butt plug, there’s no shortage of ways to make waves.

When you’re shopping for waterproof goodies, look for IPX7 on the packaging, which means the toy is safe to be submerged in water. Some toys are only IPX4, meaning that they’re splashproof but not fully protected for taking the plunge.

Make it even kinkier

Let’s get loud! The acoustics in a bathroom are often great – hence why we’re all more ambitious with our singing in the shower – so this position is perfect for some hot and heavy dirty talk and moaning.

Let your lover know just how goooood they feel; follow your heart (or genitals) and speak your sexy truth, even if the only thought you can articulate through all that pleasure is uhhhhhhhh...

Not the position for you?

We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
