Why sex during menstruation need not be taboo

There are several reasons why women may feel more in the mood for sex during their periods. Hormonal fluctuations often increase libido, while natural lubrication increases. Sex can also help relieve menstrual cramps by causing the body to produce endorphins.

Still, many women (and their partners) feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea, mainly because of hygiene or embarrassment. But with the right preparation and products, you can simply enjoy it, in a way that is clean, safe and pleasant.

6 Tips for sex when you have your period

• Beppy tampons: Have you tried the Beppy tampons? These tampons are designed without string, so both you and your partner don’t notice it during sex. The Beppy tampon absorbs menstrual blood, so you don’t have to worry and can enjoy carefree sex together. Order Beppy and experience for yourself how easy and stress-free sex during your period can be with Beppy tampons! You can choose between the WET or DRY version. For the first time, we recommend the Beppy WET because these tampons are moistened with lactagel, which makes insertion easier.
• Talk about it with your bed partner: It is important to talk openly with your bed partner about this issue. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of sex during menstruation because of smell or hygiene. Others may think that their bed partner is not open to it, while they themselves are interested. Therefore, we recommend talking about this. Discuss together whether you are both open to this experience, and if so, how you want to go about it. That way you can come to a decision together that is comfortable for both of you.
• Take a refreshing shower beforehand: It is a good idea to take a refreshing shower prior to lovemaking so that you start the experience clean and fresh. You can also enjoy a shower together to get in the mood beforehand. Also, be sure to have towels ready. During intercourse, some menstrual blood may be released, which can make the sheets dirty. Therefore, put dark towels on the bed to keep the sheets clean. This can help make the experience smooth and worry-free.
• Making love in the shower during menstruation: Make love in the shower! If you find the hassle of preparing towels too much or if it seems uncomfortable to make love on a rough towel, this is a good option. In the shower, you don’t have to worry about stains and can fully enjoy the moment together. The water provides additional stimulation and can make the experience even more intense. So let go of the worries and discover the sensation of making love in the shower.
• Choose the missionary position: The lying position reduces bleeding, so you can use this position very well if you want to have sex during menstruation. You may feel discomfort during penetration during these days since the uterus is more sensitive. If you notice this, of course indicate it to your bed partner and find ways in which you both feel comfortable and can enjoy yourself.
• Keep using contraceptives: It may not be very common, but you can get pregnant even during your period. After all, you never know when an egg will be released from your fallopian tube. So don’t forget to use contraceptives. These also help prevent infections. Since the uterus is dilated during menstruation, bacteria can get from the vagina to the uterus more easily.
