I prefer it to be waterproof, but it's not a big deal if it's not. I will buy a non-waterproof toy if I like the other features enough.

It's important to me, because it means that cleaning toys are hassle-free.

I don't use my toys in water all that often, but it's a convenient feature.

All my new toys are waterproof - only have a couple of old toys that are not.

We like them, but if you don't plan to use it in the shower, bathtub, etc, and you're careful cleaning it, you shouldn't let a toy not being waterproof scare you away.

I generally go for waterproofing. Normally this just amounts to some kind of silicone o-ring on the battery compartment, but lube and various other fluids can get messy really quickly, and I hate it when I get attached to toys and then they short out on me.
Plus, it's easier to thoroughly wash something if you know it's waterproof.

I don't use toys in the shower, so while waterproof toys are easier to clean, it's not a requirement. I have methods of keeping things dry while cleaning them, so it's all good.

It is for me. I want to know that if I feel like grabbing one for the shower that I don't have to stop and think about which one is okay. Also, it makes cleaning so much easier!

It's never been a deal-breaker for something I wanted but most good toys are waterproof now anyway. We don't play in the shower and my first toys were all not waterproof, so I got used to cleaning carefully. I've only ever had one mishap: I dropped a cheap classic vibrator into the tub. I was sure I'd killed it, but it actually worked fine once it was dried out and had fresh batteries...

I strongly prefer waterproof. I bought moka to have a waterproof version of gigi, but it's not nearly as good. I do wish there was a waterproof gigi!!!

There are some toys we have that I wish were waterproof. But it isn't a deal breaker when we're purchasing.

I never use toys in the bath/shower, but I do like waterproof toys because it makes me feel less nervous when cleaning them.

Feature is nice, but it's not necessary. However, it does make for the cleaning of said toy easier.
