can I masturbate on my period? how?

Dear Heather,

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m wondering though, how can you masturbate on your period?

Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too! What an excellent question on a day that can bring lots of lonely girls, especially those who are exacerbatedly hormonal from a period, a whole bunch of pleasure. It might be a bummer to be on your period for a lot of reasons, not getting to masturbate isn’t one of them. There are so many ways to pleasure yourself, on your period or not, that don’t involve actually touching yourself when your flow is. Fingering yourself isn’t the only way to have an orgasm!

|Touching yourself there not only feels good, but also releases sexual tension and helps you learn a lot about your sexual preferences. So go ahead gURLs, bravely (and anonymously) help us break down the masturbation taboo and share your stories with this fun survey!|

In fact, many gURLs can’t come from any penetration, but instead, rub the outside, over, on, near and around the clitoris, vulva and labia. Pinching, pressing, stroking, tickling, kneading and rubbing that sensitive area in a sensual rhythm should lead to orgasm. It’s important to make sure you have privacy (unless you’re this gURL) and to not worry about how long it might take. Just enjoy the feeling. Touching your nipples and around the anus can also turn a gURL on!

Explore all the parts of your body! Touching yourself on your sides, hips, across your neck and chest, behind your ears — these are all sensitive areas that, especially with the power of fantasy and imagination, can get you off. If you have to be naked when you masturbate, just put a towel down so you don’t stain anything that might be hard to clean.

Do any gURLs out there have masturbation tips of their own? I’d love to hear what you think.

take care,
heather

    I use to think maturbating on your period could be disgusting and messy, but I found that I am soooo horny during this time! I love laying on my stomach, getting a towel, I fold it and softly grind my clit against it, the material of the towel feels really great! I do this on and off of my period, during my period i just keep my pad on and rub against the towel through my pad and it still feels really good.

    Also, I do it in the shower! And I know this may sound kinda weird, but I spread my legs and use my loofah…I massage it against my clit and grind on it…feels really good!

    I love to masturbate!!been doing it for a while now. The best way to masturbate is going in front of a mirror and admiring yourself while rubbing your clit, it feels really good. Just put some porn on and masturbate to the mourns, and you’ll come so fast. And when you have your period do it with a tampon; use it and rub the area with your fingers. Masturbating relieves so much stress!!love it

    I recently got my first period and I’m so used to masturbating before falling asleep. It’s driving me nuts that I can’t touch down there, but these comments really help. I started at 11 because of curiousness and now I’m 13. I usually like to do it before I go to bed maybe it’s because it relaxes me.

    I use the flat side of a vibrating toothbrush of course one that you don’t use anymore…and make sure you use the back side of it not the sides with the brissles

    I use a vibrating toothbrush for a vibrator. It’s something that you dont have to explain if someone finds it laying around and feel soooo good.
