Periods don't have to bring our sex lives to a halt. In fact, getting busy while menstruating has benefits.
on my period on purpose. There are only two circumstances in which this would’ve occurred — by accident, or at the bitter end of my cycle when I couldn’t wait to get it in. Two halves of my brain fight against each other when it comes to period sex: The part that is a raging feminist and wants to smear my endometrial lining on any man who dares cross my path, and another part that feels ashamed I even bleed at all.
I grew up in the ’90s and got my first period at 13. Periods were a dirty secret — I didn’t tell my mom or my friends for a year when I got mine. I hated it and the constant reminder from *gestures vaguely* society that I was dirty. At school, we were discouraged from even mentioning it outside of sex ed class and at the time, many public washrooms weren’t even equipped with pad or tampon dispensers.
But as I’ve come into my own in my late twenties, carrying around this weird shame — among many others, namely— has become my ball and chain. For at least one week every month, my menstrual cycle runs the show. She dictates what I eat, how much exercise I do , whose head I bite off, how I feel about my body, how horny I am and the fact that I can’t have partnered sex — or so I thought.
It took three years for the Nixit menstrual cup to come to fruition. The brand’s silicone cup, unlike tampons and other leading period cups, doesn’t use absorption or suction to stay in place. Instead, it uses gravity and our bodies own unique natural forms to sit comfortably in place. Its super light, ultra flexible body leans against the pubic bone and vaginal fornix, higher up than most other products that sit at the base of the cervix in the vaginal canal, like a diaphragm.
And yes, it’s perfect for period sex. Unlike other menstrual cups, Nixit sits higher up in the vaginal canal, not only reducing the amount of blood that can leak during sex, but also actually allowing for more comfortable penetration while it’s inserted.“Some people are totally comfortable with [period sex], and that’s fine for them,” Newton says.
