Having sex during menstruation can bring amazing feelings. If you can overcome the taboo, then follow these tips to have sex during menstruation and enjoy the pleasure while minimizing the trouble.
• Put towels under your body and tissues beside you during sex to prevent menstrual blood and other liquids from soaking the sheets and mattresses. Towels are constantly available and tissues are used to get up and wipe.
• If there is a problem with odor, you can cover it with a blanket above the waist.
• Lie on your back during sex to reduce blood flow. If your partner has a penis, be careful about deep insertion because your cervix may be lower and more sensitive during menstruation.
• If you start to feel pain, just tell your partner and proceed carefully.
• If you use sex toys, you can still lie on your back.
• Not only is it less cumbersome, it’s also a change of pace.
• When you’re under the water, other water streams are less noticeable.
• If you can comfortably have sex with two people at once, give it a try.
• Use during menstruation: If you use tampons, remove them before inserting the toy, and also when they are about to be inserted. Do not wear menstrual cups or tampons during intercourse; do not panic if the string breaks.
• Lubrication preparation: Prepare lubricant, apply a large amount of lubricant to your fingertips, wear gloves, and apply lubricant around the tampon for easy removal.
• Toy selection: Deep insertion of toys may cause cervical pain, vibrators, etc. can stimulate the clitoris without insertion, and some toys have both functions. Choose clean and safe ones.
• Toy cleaning: Clean sex toys before and after use. For electric toys, use a wet soapy towel (preferably antibacterial soap) and place them in a container or bag in a cool, dry place; glass toys should be cleaned with soapy water.
• Material selection: Silicone, metal, and glass materials are easy to clean and disinfect. Avoid using porous materials such as PVC/vinyl, rubber, ABS plastic, and jelly, and buy them from specialized stores.
• Unless your partner is curious about the endometrium, don't touch there.
• If you need more foreplay, your partner can take a break from using his fingers, etc., because there is natural lubrication during menstruation.
• But this does not mean that foreplay should be omitted, but it can be used to try new techniques and movements.
• If you know that the laundry load on days 3-5 is less than on days 1 and 2, then wear underwear during these 48 hours. Let the anticipation gradually build up and avoid embarrassing trips to the laundromat.
• If your partner doesn't mind, and they're totally willing to have sex on the first day, then evaluate your concerns. Maybe it's something you can get over - after all, it's no less sanitary than what you've done before. It's just a little red and can be a little uncomfortable.
• The skin may be dirty and needs to be washed. If you didn't wash it in the shower, rinse it quickly afterwards, which will feel better.
• If you use toys during this period, disinfect them immediately to avoid a bad experience. In short, keep them clean as soon as possible.
The risk of STDs and pelvic infections is higher during menstruation. Although the possibility of pregnancy is small, it is not impossible. You still need to stay safe. There are the following options:
• Diaphragm: It can be used as a contraceptive device and menstrual cup. It may feel during intercourse and is troublesome to remove, but it is not difficult to use. Gynecologists can provide diaphragms that match the size of the cervix.
• Contraceptive sponge: A foam device soaked in spermicide. It can be inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy and absorb menstrual blood, but it cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
• Male condoms: can prevent pregnancy, STDs and blood from entering the partner's penis.
• Female condoms: can prevent the partner from contacting blood, generate more heat and sensation, and are a better contraceptive method. The protective effect is slightly inferior to that of male condoms. Applying spermicide on the closed end can improve effectiveness.
• Wearing a menstrual cup can be used for non-sexual sex games; wearing a soft cup can be used for penetrative sex.
• Ordinary menstrual cups are not suitable for wearing during insertion and may leak, but they can be used for simple play (including oral sex) to prevent leakage. Don't use rubber cups because their smell may make your partner unhappy. Silicone cups can be used.
• Soft cups are designed for sexual intercourse. They are shaped like diaphragms and are very flexible. They are available in pharmacies, but soft cups cannot prevent pregnancy.
• If you risk unprotected sex and your partner ejaculates into you, the chances of pregnancy are high.
• If your period ends tomorrow, the risk of pregnancy is small but still exists
Not everyone accepts sex during menstruation, so don't rush into it during menstruation to avoid causing trouble to your partner and possibly frustrating yourself. Discuss and understand each other's views before starting, because some religions and cultures consider sex during menstruation to be wrong. Although there is no scientific basis, you should respect your partner's feelings.
• Many women have stronger sexual desire during menstruation, making sex more enjoyable and beneficial to menstruation.
• Sex during menstruation can shorten menstruation. Muscle contraction during orgasm can speed up menstrual blood discharge (not make menstruation disappear). The amount of menstruation may be slightly more but the duration will be shortened; it can also relieve cramps, because orgasm is the body's natural painkiller.
Menstruation and vagina are not dirty or disgusting. Having sex during menstruation is not strange, unhygienic or safe. Don't put pressure on yourself. If both parties like it, there is no need to make a fuss. It may be awkward at first, but you will soon shift your mind.
Sex is usually thought of as penetration, but there are many other forms of sex games that can bring pleasure to both parties, even if you or your partner do not want to have vaginal sex during menstruation.
