Sex During Your Period: How to Feel Sexy and Confident
By SELENACARE Redaktion · 6 January 2025
Myths and truths about sex during your period
Many myths surround sex during menstruation. One of the most common is that it's unhygienic. Yet period blood is nothing more than a mixture of uterine lining and blood – completely natural. With a few simple preparations, such as a dark towel or a shower beforehand, nothing stands in the way of a relaxed experience.
The assumption that you can't get pregnant during your period is also a misconception. Sperm can survive in the body for up to five days, and with a short cycle it's entirely possible for your fertile days to overlap. So you should think about contraception during your period too if you don't want to get pregnant.
How to feel sexy despite your period
Your period shouldn't be an obstacle to feeling attractive and desirable. With the right tips you can boost your confidence on these days too and enjoy closeness with your partner.
Choose the right underwear
Sexy period underwear combines functionality with style. It gives you security and looks beautiful at the same time. These little helpers make sure you feel good in your own skin – and that's exactly what you radiate!Treat yourself
Allow yourself a relaxing bath, a facial massage or a new outfit. Doing something good for yourself helps boost your overall wellbeing.Openness in your relationship
Communication is everything. Talk to your partner about your needs and any insecurities. Open conversations create trust and help you both feel more relaxed.Which products can make period sex more comfortable?
Today there are numerous products designed specifically to make sex during your period easier and more comfortable.
● Soft tampons: These soft tampons are designed to absorb blood after insertion without getting in the way during sex. They are discreet and hygienic.
● Menstrual cups: Some menstrual cups can also be worn during intercourse. The cup sits securely below the cervix during sex and, when placed correctly, shouldn't interfere or shift.
● Menstrual sponges: Silicone or disposable sponges are a practical solution if you prefer to stay discreet during your period. When positioned correctly, a period sponge can flexibly adapt to the movements of the vagina during sex without disturbing intercourse.
These products offer you not only comfort but also the freedom to move as you like – whether in everyday life or in bed.
Tips for relaxed period sex
These simple tips help everything go smoothly:
1. Use a towel: A dark towel protects your bedding and gives you peace of mind.
2. Gentle movements: During your period the body is often more sensitive. Slow, careful movements can feel more comfortable.
3. Try different positions: Positions like spooning are particularly gentle and comfortable.
4. Shower as an alternative: If it makes you feel more at ease, you can also try period sex in the shower. Traces of blood stay discreet there and the atmosphere is pleasantly refreshing.
Why sex during your period has benefits
Beyond the emotional and physical benefits of closeness, period sex has some additional positive effects:
● Pain relief: Orgasms can reduce cramps and pain during your period. At climax, feel-good hormones are released that relax the body and ease pain.
● More desire: Many people experience increased libido during their period – an ideal opportunity to explore your own desire.
● Strengthen intimacy: Period sex can strengthen trust in a relationship, because it shows that you are close to each other even in less "perfect" moments.
