It often boils down to practicality, says Dr. O\u2019Reilly. \u201cThe shower is typically the only place that offers privacy for those who grow up in communal living situations,\u201d she says. Fact is, thin walls have nothing on the overbearing rain sounds of most showerheads. Plus, the shower is often the only place where we get to spend a substantial amount of time naked, she adds.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRunning water allows an individual to explore all sorts of sensations.\u201d \u2014Jess O&#8217;Reilly, PhD, sexologist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Privacy aside, taking a shower also tends to be a naturally sensory experience. \u201cRunning water allows an individual to explore all sorts of sensations,\u201d says Dr. O&#8217;Reilly. \u201cEven if those sensations are not necessarily erotic, because the shower gives you time to tune into your body, it can lay the groundwork to explore the erotic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It only makes sense, then, that shower masturbation might follow. And a detachable showerhead has long offered a way to direct the water stream onto the same external erogenous zones you might stimulate with a hand or toy, like the clitoral hood and labia. Recognizing that common behavior is what inspired the Womanizer and hasgrohe teams to create a showerhead explicitly designed for self-pleasure\u2014one that\u2019ll bring your wet and wild fantasies to life without the limitations of a typical showerhead.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Womanizer Wave works (and why it\u2019s oh-so-different from a typical showerhead)<\/h2>\n<p>The Womanizer Wave took over three years, two prototype iterations, nine research projects, 60 interviews, 100 samples tested, and 4,000 responses in questionnaires to perfect. The result is a head\u2014no, not <em>that<\/em> kind of head\u2014that is 94 percent more pleasant, 88 percent more arousing, and 86 percent more suitable for masturbation than a normal showerhead, according to a study conducted by Womanizer. (And to be clear, it works just as well as your typical one for actual showering, too.)<\/p>\n<p>The head has three different stream options: powder rain, pleasure whirl, and pleasure jet. Powder rain is most akin to regular shower spray and is probably the one you\u2019d elect when shampooing and soaping. Meanwhile, the pleasure jet consists of a powerful, consistent three-pronged stream that is great for people who need constant pressure while masturbating to experience pleasure. And pleasure whirl uses a rotating stream to create a unique sensation that reminded me of a traditional vibrator.<\/p>\n<p>Switching between the three modes is easy and intuitive; you simply press the button located at the base of the head with your thumb (which is ergonomically nearby when you hold the Wave in hand). There is also an intensity slider located on the neck of the Wave, so you can play with how much pressure the water delivers. Essentially, this functions like the \u201c+\u201d button on most vibrators.<\/p>\n<h2>My experience with the Womanizer Wave<\/h2>\n<p>While I am very sexually attracted to DIYers and Home Depot regulars, I, myself, am about as handy as\u2026 well, I\u2019m not handy at all. So while I was excited to give the Wave a whirl, I was nervous that my own technical inabilities would essentially cock-block me. Thankfully, installing the Wave was as easy as twisting my old showerhead off, and twisting this one on. The whole shebang took fewer than three minutes max\u2014which, to avoid burying the lede, is the same amount of time it took me to orgasm.<\/p>\n<p>I had just finished a workout before installing the Wave, so I started my shower like I would any shower, by rinsing off and shampooing. While the Powder Rain option was effective at getting all the suds out of my hair, transparently, I wish it had been a smidge more intense. (Forgive the brag, but my usual showerhead is basically the Niagara Falls of showerheads.)<\/p>\n<p>After my hair was clean, it was time for me to get (ahem) dirty. When I lifted the head out of its holder I was taken by how lightweight it is. Made from ABS plastic, the Wave weighs in at just six ounces, which made it far easier to maneuver and manipulate while I masturbated than a similar stainless-steel product.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned, the product worked effectively for my clit within a couple minutes, so even if it <em>was <\/em>heavy, I wouldn\u2019t have had to worry about my muscles tapping out midway through. But the light weight of this product makes it accessible to people of a wide variety of strength levels, as well as usable by those with certain wrist or hand limitations that might otherwise preclude them from showerhead-based pleasure.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the shower, I wasn\u2019t just warm, I was hot\u2014which allowed my muscles, including my pelvic floor muscles, to relax.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally, the Pleasure Jet technology in the showerhead deserves some of the credit for my easily reached orgasm. But, I also think part of the speed was due to the fact that I was warm and relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the embarrassingly high temperature at which I keep my apartment, I am <em>always<\/em> cold. (Actually, before getting naked with my partners, I usually have to ask them to turn up the heat\u2026 literally.) In the shower, I wasn\u2019t just warm, I was hot\u2014which allowed my muscles, including my pelvic floor muscles, to relax. Given that an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-orgasm-feels-like-vulva\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-orgasm-feels-like-vulva\/\">orgasm is essentially a series of pelvic floor muscle contractions<\/a>, it makes sense that if those muscles were more pliable due to the warmth, it would be easier for me to O.<\/p>\n<p>Also worth mentioning: I\u2019m blessed to have a seat built into my shower. So, I was able to recline while I masturbated. As a person who generally thinks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/advanced-sex-positions\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/advanced-sex-positions\/\">standing sex<\/a> is overrated and has never been able to come with both feet planted firmly on the ground, the ability to sit was an essential element in my pleasure experience with the Wave. If your preferences are like mine, I\u2019d recommend adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-have-shower-sex\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-have-shower-sex\/\">shower stool<\/a> to your shopping cart alongside the showerhead. (As an added bonus, the stool will make it safer for you to use lube if you plan to pair the external-stimulation from the Wave with an internal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/waterproof-sex-toys\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/waterproof-sex-toys\/\">waterproof vibrator<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>The eco impact of using the Womanizer Wave<\/h2>\n<p>Since the launch of the Womanizer Wave, there\u2019s been some eco <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D104860X1561639%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3DSTMSLS-1074677%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.l-n-w.com%252Fpages%252Fbreakup&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fwomanizer-wave%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.l-n-w.com\/pages\/breakup\">pushback<\/a>, largely from the folks behind UK-based sustainable sex-toy company Love Not War who say that masturbating with water is a poor use of said water\u2014and suggest that consumers, naturally, buy their sex toys for this purpose instead.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, spending more time under any showerhead <em>does<\/em> use more water than if you were to just get out of the shower once you were clean; indeed, some estimates suggest that roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/06\/05\/is-your-masturbation-sustainable-how-to-have-greener-orgasms-18897377\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/06\/05\/is-your-masturbation-sustainable-how-to-have-greener-orgasms-18897377\/\">300 million liters<\/a> (about 79 million gallons) are used each year for showerhead masturbation alone.<\/p>\n<p>But as a pleasure activist and sex educator, I take issue with people coming after water-wankers in the name of a greener world. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/water.phila.gov\/pool\/files\/home-water-use-ig5.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/water.phila.gov\/pool\/files\/home-water-use-ig5.pdf\">use of the toilet, bathtub, and washing machine all make up a larger share<\/a> of our average water usage than use of the shower, as things currently stand. So, focusing a campaign on getting people\u2014primarily folks with a vulva\u2014to stop masturbating in the shower is, at best, ineffective. And at worst, it\u2019s sex-negativity masquerading as environmentalism.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to using the Wave, it\u2019s also worth noting that it was designed with sustainability in mind, employing technology that allows it to use 60-percent less water than a conventional showerhead. And if you\u2019re anything like me, it won\u2019t take you more than a couple extra minutes of water usage beyond the typical amount of time you\u2019d spend in the shower to get off with the Wave.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, water waste is an important cause to rally behind. But to focus on the excess water loss from showerhead masturbation ignores all the layered reasons why people may choose to self-pleasure this way in the first place\u2014like, because there\u2019s less risk of getting walked in on or caught, or because it\u2019s the only way they feel safe or relaxed enough to let their guard down and experience pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>I may be a sex educator, not a campaign manager, but it seems like a more effective and sex-positive water-conserving campaign would be to encourage folks to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bed-sheets-for-sex\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bed-sheets-for-sex\/\">sex blankets<\/a> so that they don\u2019t have to change their sheets every time they bang or to shower <em>together<\/em> as part of a post-sex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/aftercare-after-sex\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/aftercare-after-sex\/\">aftercare<\/a> practice, rather than villainizing a masturbation practice that, for many, serves a uniquely satisfying purpose.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
