Menstruation is an essential few days of the month for every woman, and a common question we often receive from our users is whether or not it's okay to masturbate with sex toys while on your period. Since this is the case then we decided to answer this question in this article. We're going to publish the results straight away and yes, it's perfectly fine. We will tell you why below.
First, understand how your body changes during your period
Before we get to the sex toys, let's take a look at what your body does during your period. First of all menstruation is caused by the shedding of the lining of your uterus, and with that comes the hoarding and bleeding of menstrual blood, which is why a lot of women feel that their uterus and pubic area will be swollen during their period, because this is the time when there is a state of congestion there. And this congestion stimulates the nerves in this area, which are more sensitive than usual. Some women even feel more sexually aroused during their periods, and a big reason for this is that the hormone levels are higher during the period.
Another condition is dysmenorrhea, which is actually uterine cramps caused by contractions of the uterus and the blood vessels supplying it. However, apart from menstrual cramps, there are many women who suffer from headaches, backaches, diarrhea as well as nausea at the same time during their periods and the psychological factors of the individual can have an impact on the intensity of these symptoms. Faced with this situation most people choose ibuprofen capsules to relieve pain, in fact, in addition to medication relief, masturbation is also a good way.
There are still myths about menstruation
When people talk about menstruation, they seem to think of a time when any sexual activity is forbidden, including masturbation with sex toys. This is a long-standing misconception surrounding menstruation. The human body is recognized as a precision-operated machine, so if sexual activity is forbidden during menstruation, why would the body elevate hormone levels during this time? If the body consents to your sexual behavior, why would you refuse? It's nothing more than a matter of paying attention to personal hygiene. And the pleasure of masturbating with sex toys during your period can greatly relieve menstrual cramps.
Tips for masturbating with sex toys during your period:
Choosing the right sex toys
The only increased risk of sex during menstruation is infection, so when choosing the material of your sex toy don't choose a sex toy made of porous material. Silicone, glass, stainless steel and ABS are all appropriate materials. After determining the material then choose a sex toy based on your preferred form of stimulation. My recommendation would be a clitoral vibrator, as your vagina and uterus are in a state of engorgement inserted toys can be risky (you may not be able to clean your toy thoroughly). Of course, if you clean and sanitize it carefully it's not a problem.
Maintaining good hygiene is key
We've been emphasizing cleanliness and hygiene just to make sure you're safe, whether you're masturbating with your bare hands or using a sex toy during your period. Take a shower before you masturbate and focus on washing away any menstrual blood that remains in your pubic area; these substances may already be harboring bacteria, so wash them away before they get into your vagina. Also, if your sex toy has textured or crevice areas, wash it carefully with soapy water. If your sex toy is applicable, a 1-2 minute soak in boiling water is recommended for a higher level of cleanliness.
Use of condoms
Condoms are definitely a great invention, and in addition to being a highly effective method of birth control, they stop most bacterial and viral infections. If you choose to masturbate with your bare hands or with a penetrating sex toy, putting a condom on your fingers and on your sex toy will virtually eliminate the risk of infection, which also has the added benefit of making your cleanup afterward much easier.
Lubricants are essential
During menstruation your genitals become more sensitive and fragile, and good lubrication can go a long way in protecting your genital skin and reducing discomfort. However, the type of lubricant you choose will depend on your situation. Avoid silicone-based and oil-based lubricants if you are wearing a condom or using silicone toys, which may not be compatible with your situation.
Take your time.
If this is your first time trying to masturbate during your period, please don't rush, as we mentioned before your body may be more vulnerable during this time. Let your body get into the swing of things as gently and slowly as possible. Especially when masturbating with sex toys during your period you have to allow yourself an adjustment process first, starting with the lowest intensity setting and slowly working your way up. If you feel uncomfortable during this time, reassess whether you are in a physical state to continue.
