Benefits of sex during your period:
Pain relief:
Orgasms can relieve menstrual cramps because they release endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.
Natural lubrication:
During your period, the extra moisture can improve sensation and act as a natural lubricant, making intercourse more enjoyable.
Hormonal harmony and emotional bonding:
During their period, many women experience an increased sex drive due to hormonal changes. This, combined with the oxytocin released during orgasm, can lead to a deeper emotional connection between partners.
More intimacy:
A sponge-tastic advantage of the menstrual sponge is its discretion and adaptability, which means it does not restrict your intimate life during menstruation and can even improve it considerably! Thanks to its soft structure, you and your partner can share intimate moments, enjoy the benefits of intercourse during menstruation and you don't have to worry about possible traces of blood. Everything stays white and discreet.
Both parties will not notice its presence thanks to the soft and natural materials. However, it is essential to clean the sponge thoroughly after each intimate contact to ensure hygiene. This allows for uncomplicated and carefree intimacy, even during the menstrual phase.

How to remove the menstrual sponge after intercourse?
After intercourse, the menstrual sponge may be deeper in the vagina than usual. But don't worry, with calm and the right techniques, it can be easily removed:
- Relax: It is important to be relaxed. The more relaxed the vaginal muscles are, the easier it is to reach and remove the sponge.
- Wash your hands: Hygiene is important. Wash your hands thoroughly before removing the sponge.
- Get into a comfortable position: Many women find it easiest to remove the sponge while standing with their legs slightly apart or while squatting.
- Use your pelvic floor muscles: Try "squeezing" with your pelvic floor muscles. This can help push the sponge down a bit and make it easier to grasp.
- Use your thumb and index finger: Insert one or two fingers into the vagina and feel for the sponge. When you can feel it, grasp it with your thumb and index finger and gently pull it out.
- Be patient: If you can't grab the sponge right away, don't panic. Take a deep breath and try again. It may help to change position or take a short break and try again later.
- Consult a professional if necessary: If you have difficulty removing the sponge and you feel uncomfortable, consult a gynecologist.
Tip: It can also be helpful to ask your partner for help if he or she feels comfortable doing so and you trust him or her.
