Sex menstruation or the combination of the two, ie. sex during menstruation, are still taboo subjects. You have probably also thought about whether it is normal to have an intimate relationship during the period of the month when you are bleeding, or whether it is not normal to have an intimate relationship. Maybe you've been embarrassed to ask a friend, and even though you wish you had, you haven't opened up about it with your partner until now. First of all, let's get things straight! Menstruation is nothing to be ashamed of, it is proof of your health as a woman. Second, sex and intimate relationships are important parts of every couple's life, of every person's life. We encourage you to be open with yourself and your partner, and don't be ashamed to discuss, explore and want to know more.
As for the so-called normality or abnormality of menstrual sex, that is debatable. Sex during bleeding is not forbidden, blood is not dirty, but you may as well choose not to have sex during menstruation. It's about your own choices, the way you feel and the decisions you make yourself. Our advice is that you should not be ashamed in any way!
In this article you will find information that can help you understand what menstrual sex is and how you can enjoy it even during those days of the month.
Menstrual sex is a personal choice
You can't have sex when you're on your period - it's a myth! There is nothing abnormal or shameful about it, but the choice must be your own. In this case, it is very important to discuss it with your partner. It is important to feel comfortable in your own skin and not consider menstrual blood as something bad or dirty. Menstruation is living proof that you are a healthy woman.
And if you think that menstrual sex can mean discomfort in the form of stains on your bedding or certain surfaces, we have a tip for you. FemiEko menstrual disc can be used when you have sex, but be careful, it does not work as a contraceptive method and it does not protect you from unwanted pregnancy.
Yes, you can have sex while wearing a Femi.Eko menstrual pad
Let us give you some details about having sex while wearing a menstrual pad. This device was developed by Femi.Eko specialists to provide women with increased comfort and is innovative because it fits different cervical heights, i.e. it suits all women.
The menstrual disc has a universal size that does not take into account the menstrual flow, the position of the cervix, age or birth. The menstrual pad is used inside the vagina, where it naturally collects blood. It is located under the pubic bone and thus fits across the width of the vaginal canal and not under the cervix. It doesn't create a vacuum, and because it's not placed in the vagina, you can have sex while you're on your period while wearing it.
The big advantage is that there will be no excess of blood. However, we recommend that you pay extra attention afterwards when you have to take it out, as there is a possibility that it will be pushed up higher than usual. As mentioned above, the menstrual pad does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases and does not act as a contraceptive.
On the other hand, having sex while wearing a disposable tampon or menstrual cup is contraindicated. We will explain exactly why. Although the menstrual pad is a product that is inserted into the body, like tampons or menstrual cups, it sits diagonally across the vaginal opening and collects menstruation much higher up in the vaginal opening. So it doesn't take up any space in your vagina and it allows you to have period sex while wearing it. This is not the case with menstrual cups or disposable tampons, which fit directly into the vagina.
Period sex is as normal as it gets, as long as it's your choice. You don't have to give up things and activities that you want to do just because you are on these days of the month. You should not be ashamed of your period, but be happy that you are a healthy woman!
