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!
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 have noticed that masturbating during my period prolongs my period. For example, if I do not masturbate then my period is over between 3-4 days. If I do masturbate then my period lasts almost a week? Is this normal? Is there a medical reason or should I see a doctor?
I’m 14 and I touch myself before I go to bed, most nights. It gets me really relaxed
But anyway when I’m on my period, I just go ahead and touch myself anyway! I don’t insert my fingers into my vagina when I have my period, but I rub my clit and read sexy stuff (not hard to find at all!) or watch porn. You don’t have to hold off on masturbating just because you’re menstruating! 
I love to masturbate, I do it almost daily , I find myself with clear skin and rarely stresses:) rub your pussy girls it’s amazing! Sometimes a finger or two makes it a bit more exciting
1) Try a semi-reclining position. Instead of lying down, prop yourself up with some pillows; this position may help you better access the G-spot when using your fingers.
2) Be aroused. The G-spot is like any other part of your genitals; when you’re aroused, it fills with blood, swells, enlarges, and becomes much more sensitive. That’s why merely jabbing at your G-spot before you’re warmed up is unlikely to feel all that great- it’s just a tiny little spot without much sensitivity. After you’re fully aroused, it’s grown in size (easier to stimulate) and sensitivity.
3) Stimulate the clitoris. I personally can’t ejaculate with just G-spot stimulation, and many women are similar; we need clitoral stimulation as well. Combining the two is often necessary.
4) Hydrate. Your body needs liquid to make sexual fluids, and female ejaculate is no different. This doesn’t mean downing a bottle of water before you hit the sack, but it does mean getting a decent amount of water throughout the day (which is just plain good for you anyway).
5) Get rid of anxiety. Some women have hang-ups about squirting, even if it’s something they want to do- they may fear that they’ll urinate instead, for instance. I recommend going pee before you start so your bladder is empty, and laying down a towel or blanket. Masturbating alone can be a great way to reduce any anxiety you might have with squirting for the first time with a partner. And, of course, there’s simply the mental task of getting over the block that we sometimes have, when you hit that moment and feel like you need to pee . . . you’ve got to bust through it, rather than retreat.
6) Stop trying. Seriously, it sounds like the worst advice, but it’s also probably the best. If you’re trying to squirt, you’re automatically setting up each sexual experience with tons of pressure. And sex should always be pleasure-oriented, never goal-oriented. If you are consistently trying to squirt, you often end up getting frustrated during, disappointed afterward, and determined every time you try . . . and therefore suck any of the fun out of the experience. I spent a long time trying to make myself squirt, to no avail . . . and the first time I did so was when I’d forgotten all about that and was just having a really, really hot masturbatory session. Pleasure is funny like that- it can sneak up on you once you stop chasing it. So let go, enjoy the ride, and you may well find yourself sleeping in the wet spot before long.
When you have your period, just keep your pad on and hump against a table or something.
I’m 14 and I like to use it on high pressure! IT FEELS SOO GOOD
And if you don’t wanna be messy, you can always use the shower head
I use the shower head on full power and then pull my floppy thing. It feels so good.
Just because you masturbate doesn’t mean you’re lonely. Some girls do it whether you have a boyfriend or not. Get it right you dumb twat.
this may sound wierd but i like to take a long shower and i lay down and spead my legs and let the water rush down on it ,it feels so good!! [it works with a high powerd shower head]
An oral b toothbrush with replaceable heads in awesome for masturbating. My fiancé and I use it. You take the head off and it exposes and very nice and powerful vibrating rod! It’s wonderful.
Shower head is ideal for me during that time of the month. Pads can also help when grinding… You get a little bit more friction?? Um.. Porn is usually the best way to get off for me… If it is really ‘steamy’ it won’t take much contact…
Today I had the problem of wanting to get myself off with my period and not wanting to run a bath in the middle of the day,so I found a disposable plastic glove was the perfect answer.just be mindful of some rubber types not being suitable for your girl parts.
I like to masturbate but i just leave m’y pad on And rub m’y body against any thing And Its depend sometimes i feel good sometimes not
Whenever I’m on my period, I usually just use the shower head. It has a “massage” setting, and I usually cover one or two of the 8 holes to make it more pressurized. It great, because when you’re done, you can just clean yourself right then and there
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’m 13 too and I started at a very young age. (3 or 4)
I also do it before I go to sleep. You’re right. It is relaxing x) I just got my period today though so i don’t really know how I can masturbate tonight
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.
I have this stuffed toy that I put in my vagina and I lay on my belly cross my legs then start humping and squeezing my legs…feels SO good
