All About Sex During Your Period

By

There are plenty of reasons you might consider having sex during your period, and they’re all super valid. Valentine’s Day, a vacation, or a simple spike in libido are all up there. Regardless, you need some info on period sex—that’s why you’re here—so it’s time to touch on this delightfully taboo subject.

Period Cups

You Can Have Sex on Your Period

Some people might not be into it, but you can totally have sex or self-pleasure (or both) when you’re on your period. If you’re in the mood and all parties are on board, go for it. You might even experience an increased libido during your period, so if you don’t have cramps or feelings of discomfort, then go with that sexy flow.

Most Period Care Products Are a “No” During Sex

Are you wondering if you can wear period care products during sex? Most of the time, the answer will be “no,” even if you have reusable period care products. Your menstrual cup is great at catching your flow but not so great for penetrative sex. You will have to remove your cup. The same goes for a tampon.

Now, it’s a trickier question when it comes to period underwear. While you might be able to maneuver around them while masturbating, sex with a partner would, in most cases, entail removing your leakproof panties (or at least pushing them to the side).

A menstrual disc is the only period care product you can fully wear during penetrative sex. It may also help keep things neat and tidy; you don’t need to lay down a towel unless it’s for peace of mind. Just empty your disc before you initiate sex because an empty or near-empty disc can be more comfortable for sex.

 Period Sex May Feel Really Good

If you’re up for period sex, you’re in luck—it can feel really good. Not only does your flow provide a little more lubrication, but feel-good chemicals oxytocin and dopamine release during an orgasm, which may help with menstrual cramps.

What to Expect During Sex with a Period Disc

Having sex with a period disc could feel different, especially if you’re mentally fixated on the disc. So, we’ll take the guesswork out of the equation with a list of what to expect during sex with a period disc:

• You can use water-based lubricant.

• There should be no discomfort or irritation.

• A disc is not a contraceptive and won’t protect against STIs.

• You may experience more stimulation with the disc against your cervix.

• Your cervix is higher when you’re aroused (important if you remove your disc right after).

So, now you know period sex is a go! If you’re comfortable with the idea of having sex during your period, then you can totally make period sex comfortable and fun for all parties involved. If period cups are your period care product of choice, just remove your cup before sexy time. If you wear a disc, make sure it’s empty or near empty to ensure maximum comfort. Remember that periods are a part of life, and sex is just another thing you can do while you flow.
