For a lot of women, sex during their period can be a taboo topic. Some feel ashamed, some are grossed out, and some just plain old don't like the mess. But we're here to tell you that not only is period sex totally normal, it can also be really freaking enjoyable! Here's how to make the most of your period and turn it into the best time for amazing period sex.

Alleviate cramps with orgasms.

 That's right, you read that correctly. Orgasms can actually help alleviate cramps and other period symptoms! When you orgasm, your body releases endorphins which block pain signals from reaching the brain. So if you're feeling crampy, hop into bed with your partner and get busy! It'll help ease the pain and we guarantee you'll enjoy yourself too.

Invest in some good period underwear. 

We know, we know, period underwear doesn't sound sexy. But hear us out! The less time you spend worrying about leaks, the more time you can focus on enjoying yourself. Plus, there are some really cute options out there now that don't sacrifice style for function. Win-win!

Communicate with your partner. 

This one is key for anything in the bedroom, but especially important when it comes to period sex. Talk about what you're comfortable with, what feels good, what doesn't feel so good. The more open and honest you are with your partner, the better experience you'll both have. Trust us on this one!
