There seems to be a discrepiancy in what waterproof means, looking through the reviews on some toys that call themselves waterproof then advise not to submerge, so i was wondering if there were varying degrees of waterproof, and most specificaly in relation to the Sinfonia, exactly how waterproof is it.
Define waterproof?

well i kinda understand splashproof vs. not because if you clean it with soap and water if it gets damp damp will it live or could even beading water kill it. but when they say waterproof but not submergable that ones weird.

I have wondered this myself.
To me, waterproof means the toy should be able to be totally submerged in water. Im kinda confused on splashproof too. I'd prefer if they just say its either waterproof or definitely not. Confuses the situation.

"Most" of the time if you remove the batteries and shake the water out and then let it dry out you will have no problems. It's when you don't know there is water in it and put it away. This is not 100% but I have had good luck with all the wife's vibes that do get some water in them, hell I have dropped my cell in the lake, removed the battery and dried it out and it works just fine.

Thats what makes me very weary of testing them in water .... dont want to ruin my toy!
I have not tried it but I would think that WD-40 sprayed in the battery compartment would remove the water (WD= water displacement) and protect the inner workings should it get wet. Just make sure to wash the outer area real good before use.
Looks like some scientific testing is in order mmm...

Yeah, that's what I understood it to mean as well. Also, splash-proof should be okay in the shower, from what I understand. But any toy that claims to be waterproof should definitely withstand submerging!

To me splash-proof means you can wash it in the sink and not worry as long as the cap is on tight. Waterproof is where you can use it in the tub fully submerged.
Seem that a lot of toys say they are water or splash proof but are not.

I was thinking about posting this myself recently. I just finished a review on something that claimed to be waterproof, the packaging said waterproof in big letters on the front, and then I was reading the small print on the back and it said that it wasn't submergible. To me, that is not waterproof. Maybe water resistant is a slightly better way to word that so it sounds less serious? Or go with splash proof, which I take to mean you can wash it without being really careful.

Spalsh proof is probably better than water-resistant, but waterproof should definitely mean that you can submerge it at least a couple of feet under the surface.
If you want to test I'd recommend removing all batteries, put all lids on and then submerge. Dry the surface and see if there's water inside. If you have electricity + water you're more likely to damage the toy, especially if it's electronic rather then merely electrical.
