Benefits and tips for sex during your period
For many people, sex during their period is still something they rarely talk about. At juno&me, we believe your body and your needs deserve to be lived out free from shame and prejudice, on every day of the month.
Why is sex during your period so often kept secret?
Menstruation is a natural process that everyone who menstruates goes through. Even so, many people link it with shame and discomfort, especially when it comes to intimacy. Many may think that sex during your period is unaesthetic, uncomfortable or even unhygienic. There are many reasons why that idea is outdated!
The benefits of sexual intercourse during your period
- Natural pain relief: Orgasms can relieve menstrual cramps. The endorphins released during climax act as a natural painkiller and relax the uterus, so sex during your period could be a pleasant way to reduce your cramps.
- Increased arousal: Many women report a higher libido during their period. The rise in hormones at this time simply makes some women feel more aroused. So why not listen to your body's signals?
- Increased feeling of closeness: Sex during menstruation can be a particularly intimate experience. Physical pleasure is part of it, and so are the trust and closeness you share with each other. If you open up to your partner in a moment like this, you show real trust, and that can deepen your bond.
Tips for a pleasant experience with sex during your period
Sex during your period does involve a few practical considerations. These tips help you make the experience enjoyable and stress-free:
- Period panty for extra comfort: Our new Cheeky Lace Period Panty gives you extra protection and comfort. It is designed to fit your body perfectly and make you feel confident, during intimate moments as well as in everyday life. If you want to buy period underwear, the Cheeky Lace Period Panty is the ideal choice for maximum security and style.
- Towel or sheet: If you are worried that it might get "messy", just put a dark towel underneath. That takes the stress away and lets you concentrate fully on the moment.
- Communication comes first: Talking is everything! If you feel uncomfortable or unsure, tell your partner. Openness builds trust and lets you both enjoy intimacy without pressure or misunderstandings.
Besides the right protection, care matters too, and during your period intimate hygiene needs particular attention. If you want to buy intimate care, we recommend high-quality products such as our Glow Below Oil, which is gentle on the skin and contains no irritating ingredients. Care products for your whole body are important as well, so make sure you buy the right body care products to feel completely comfortable during your period.
Sex during your period should be as natural as on any other day of the month, if you and your partner want it. Our new Cheeky Lace Period Panty helps you feel confident and comfortable in every phase of your cycle.
