In this case waterproof means that water won't damage it. If it gets wet it's ok, but something like in shower wet.

I'd not advice you to submerge it, esp don't get the charging port wet...that can make your toy die!

Actually the charge port of this has nothing exposed at all, it charges from the two surfaces resting against each other rather than plugging in like other rechargables. I haven't brought mine in the tub but it has been in the shower and been washed all over under warm running water with no problems what so ever.

Submerging is fine with the Sinnflut toys. I have the Intensity, and it works great in the water. Nothing is exposed for the water to harm as the charge connectors are completely covered. Like Lynx Lady stated, nothing is exposed on this toy. My Sinnflut is my favorite tub toy because no water ever gets inside of it anywhere. Other "waterproof" toys I have do leak some water in, but this one does not.

The Sinnflut Reality, just by the photos, seems to charge the same way that Sonicare Vibrating Toothbrushes (which, ironically, make great emergency vibrators). It charges a rechargeable battery housed inside the toy via use of magnets and alternating current (I'm not awesome at physics, so please forgive) which produces an induced voltage. In other words, there are no electrical bits hanging out that will die if you put it in the water, as all components seem to be safely encased inside the toy itself. It should be safe for full submersion.
Many toys that claim to be waterproof are usually only shower-proof. It's easy to tell how waterproof it will be just by examining its structure. Does it have a battery compartment? If so, is there a watertight seal that keeps water out when the cap is closed? Usually, it is relatively easy to tell. I've had a toy that claimed to be waterproof before, but I could very clearly see the inside of the toy through the gaps in the plastic!

I suppose this would be another way to complicate things that everyone is already used to, but keep in mind that this is just my opinion. Right now there are two classifications for toys, splashproof and waterproof. I think that there should be a third classification in between these two called water resistant.
Something like a glass toy is truly waterproof. There is no way for water to get into any part of the toy that will render it unusable. Splashproof means that lube and cleaning are ok, but try not to get the toy too wet. So what about everything else?
Realistically, there a lot of products that manufactures say are indeed waterproof. These toys can however be damaged and even ruined if any water finds its way inside. Something with a rubber o-ring will normally keep moisture out, but, it might not be a good idea to submerge it in water. Also toys like this, over time, could lose their waterproof characteristics. To me this sounds like a water resistant toy.

I agree with Gary. I've written some of my reviews to reflect that a toy is more "water resistant" than "waterproof" as it claims to be.
