There is two people in this thread
-
people who read “bringing your phone in to the shower” as having the phone in the same room as the shower.
-
everyone else who seems to think that people are putting their phones directly under the shower nozzle.
-
Have the same phone for 6 years now, bring it into the shower most days, and have not had any issues.
Maybe steam has a non-zero effect but it’s pretty damn close to zero…
TBH I dont bring my phone to the bathroom anymore cause i dont want to risk my phone breaking, even if it is waterproof.
If this is you, seek help. You have a problem.
What about golden showers? Asking for
a friendKrasnovI used to have a perfectly working system with a waterproof bag-thing for the phone and a bluetooth speaker somewhere outside of the shower so I could watch youtube videos while just chilling in the shower.
Also had one of those long 1920s cigarette holders so I could smoke a joint in there. I made a good time out of it.
I’ve had this same phone since Covid, and bring it into the shower every day for podcasts, music, or YouTube videos.
Still works great! It might need charge in the evening after heavy use, but what 6 year old phone wouldn’t?
People bring their phones into the shower?!
Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?
I’ve noticed an increasing number of people that use their phone the entire time they’re at the urinal in public restrooms. This takes what? A minute tops? I’ve also seen people set it next to the sink to keep looking while washing their hands…assuming they even do to begin with.
That is some next level shamelessness, what the fuuuu—
Tech addiction is tough. When people don’t like their environment they try to escape it and unfortunately the black mirror is there waiting for them. It’s not productive but it provides comfort.
I’ve done it before. Time-constrained, watching something interesting.
These days I’ll shower with a resistant earbud in, listening to music. I shower early/late and don’t want the music to wake my partner. (probably less likely than the shower itself, but that’s how i roll)
You can spend 1 millisecond away from your tsunami of AI sludge!?
Back before smartphones, when everyone was bleaching the tattletale to get the phone warrantied after getting even a little water near it, there was a rumor going around. Kids with friends in Japan were hearing that people over there had waterproof cellphones and would be talking while in the shower. We were super jealous, not for shower talking, but for the feature. I’d think ICP rated phones today should be able to handle some humidity.
There are Insane Clown Posse rated phones!? I need one of those because I keep killing mine because I spill Faygo on it.
Just be sure to keep it away from magnets as we don’t know how they work

This sentence fragment really threw me for a loop lol… It took a minute, but I got there eventually.
That’s where all the best ideas come from!
Can’t give your wife any chance on reading texts of you hitting on other women.
Notthst I’m cheating with other women (seriously who can be bothered) my phone is locked with my fingerprint. As much as we share a lot in life I have not given her copies of my fingerprints so she couldn’t unlock the phone anyway. In theory she knows the passcode but since she asks me for it every single time she needs to use my phone I’m recently confident she doesn’t retain it.
My last partner and I had fingerprints on each other’s devices just for convenience sake, mostly so that we can text on each other’s behalf while the other was driving or in case of an emergency situation.
I would argue doing this right takes way more Trust than just keeping the boundaries up , and that I wouldn’t prescribe it for most couples.
“Why would you have the phone in the shower anyway?”
MUSIC.
I use mine for music but I leave it outside of the shower, if a shit song comes on it’s my fault for having it on the playlist
How long are you in the shower for that it plays more than one or two songs?
One or two songs? Maybe if the two songs are This Corrosion by Sisters of Mercy and Psychonaut by Fields of the Nephilim and I’m in a hurry.
I am sorry, one song? 1, uno? That is crazy for me. I am all for quick showers but unless you are like a Pink Floyd fan I would be running like crazy to finish a shower in less than 5min, unless you don’t wash your hair every day which I do but I know for some types of hair people don’t.
Trying to race songs is how I got much better at having quick showers. I did pick long ones like Green Grass and High Tides or Through the Fire and Flames, and it took a while to be able to beat them.
First about a minute for the water to heat up and water rinse for the whole body. Short hair, but it’s like 30 seconds for shampoo, scrub, rinse, then another 30 seconds for face lather, scrub, and rinse. Then lather up a washcloth, scrub pits and groin, rinse, about 1 minute total. That still leaves two extra minutes for a 5 minute shower to shave your ass or whatever, and the two songs I listed are over 5 minutes (Over 9 for GGHT, over 7 for TFF).
If you want a 5 minute song, Muse - Uprising is 5:04. Though if you can follow the schedule I laid out above, you could shower to Toxicity and have 30 seconds of song or so after you get out of your shower.
I’ll give it a try for my next shower because it does sound a bit tight and I didn’t progress beyond being able to shower beyond being able to finish before TFF, but I think it’s doable.
With most songs usually being around 3 minutes, you could listen to 5 in a 15 minute shower.
As long as it takes to wash away my sins
What if I’m in here, minting new sins?
put it in a plastic bag or two and ready you are to keep being consumed by content.
who the fuck would
Sad, that the recommendation is “use Bluetooth speakers instead, which are more expendable” instead of “are safe to use”.
UE BOOM speakers are safe to use in a humid bathroom during a shower. I’m pretty sure.
They sound fucking fantastic too.
I used to have a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, but it was actually better than having your phone with you since it was right there in the shower.
It is pretty amazing to me that some people really have to be told not to bring their expensive electronics into the shower. It’s the shower, just wash your dirty ass and get out.
Ive brought my phone into the shower for decades and it has not caused any problems ever.
You’re not alone, same same. Folks in this thread have a very narrow definition of the role and the duration of the shower.
I mean i kinda get it i take fifteen minute showers but ill put on a video helps me keep time too so i know how long i been in there. I also don’t take super hot showers so there’s no steam, idk maybe yeah if i had the shower all the way hot it’d be a problem but i take a nice hot shower and there’s not much steam idk
Tbf, since I have done this some 2-3 times:
Some special shampoos require you to be sitting there for like 10 minutes until it does its thing. I thought it was safe since water was no longer coming out of the shower, I didn’t consider the high humidity environment.
‘special shampoo’
is that your code for jackin’ it in the shower?
Feels so awkward to jack off in the shower. I much prefer doing it sitting in the toilet.
When I say special shampoo I mean it. Like the one time my dog got fleas so I used anti-flea dog shampoo just in case. It took forever.
Why not use that time to soap up and rinse off your body while you wait for the shampoo to do its thing? That’s what I do.
Washing and rinsing doesn’t take that long. I usually shave or clean the shower while I wait, and even that doesn’t take long enough sometimes
Some hair dyes can have you standing there for 10 or 20 minutes.
Sometimes just enjoying the steam is nice. It’s taking a lot of Blood Sweat and Tears to build a modern world, we are fortunate to have hot safe water on top. I’m going to spend my time and money standing under the boiling shower head and enjoy myself for far longer than everyone else is going to decide is reasonable, I’m going to keep reading and listening while I do so.
As a cyclist, that’s leg shaving time.
Then I gotta condition and I feel slick
I find it meditative… washing the nooks, rinsing, etc. I do, sometimes, run music outside on a counter with a door open.
WHO USES THEIR PHONE IN THE SHOWER
Same people who use their phone in the car
Phone is the new heroin. Haven’t you heard?
Even with heroin they waited until after
Me.
Not often, because I like bathing and using phone is wasting your water relaxation time. But, I do use it sometimes when I want music or am in the middle of something and also need or want to take a shower or bath.
Phone reading in the bath is amazing.
To be clear, I also have always strived for completely waterproof cases.
Obsessed people
You don’t watch YouTube while scrubbing down with sudds??
Yes. YouTube.
Literally, i put on like a podcast or 10min science video or something to listen to while i shower. Gotta be dopamine maxing
Your username kills me. I literally just watch that episode yesterday 🤣🤣
I will set some music, but I also don’t have a humidity problem in my bathroom.
Why don’t these shower-phone people just get a much cheaper and more durable waterproof speaker? I get wanting music or a podcast or whatever but I can’t imagine how I would watch a video with all the soap and water everywhere
