Is it Safe To Use a Vibrator During Pregnancy?

 

       Among the various side effects of pregnancy, from nausea to back pain, getting off the car may not be your biggest concern. This is understandable and completely normal.

  Your desires may rise and fall during pregnancy, and sometimes you may want the extra stimulation that a sex toy can provide. Considering the extra genital sensitivity and natural lubrication, it may be more pleasant when you do

  First of all-is it safe to masturbate during pregnancy?

  Unless you are told that you are at high risk of pregnancy or worry about premature birth, masturbation is a beneficial and safe practice to keep up with a healthy pregnancy. Whether you are pregnant or not, this is a great way to relieve stress, maintain your immune system and do something for yourself! It may also be difficult for you to find a comfortable sex position with your partner. Masturbation or having your partner use a vibrator on you will come in handy.

  It is important to know how to change your usual masturbation habits in the most comfortable way for you. As a general statement, you should stop immediately if you experience any discomfort, and if you show any warning signs, such as bleeding or unusual pain, you should inform your healthcare provider.

  General tips for using sex toys/vibrators during pregnancy:

  Sex toys should be cleaned after each use, especially if you are at high risk of infection. Store them properly, away from other sundries and put them in designated bags, boxes, etc. to keep them clean.

  Remember that pregnant women are particularly susceptible to hemorrhoids, which can make any insertion or rubbing of sex toys around the anus painful.

  If you use lubricants, oils, or lotions in masturbation or sex, pay attention to odors or flavors, as well as advertised "cooling" or "warming" effects. These may rely on heavy chemicals that can cause vaginal infections or irritate ultra-sensitive vaginal tissues.

  Which toys are recommended during pregnancy?

  It is best to choose toys with lower intensity (in terms of vibration intensity and size) during pregnancy because of the increased sensitivity around the genitals. Think along the lines of an egg vibrator or other clitoral toy.

  If you choose toys that are inserted into your body, such as a g-spot vibrator or a dildo, that shouldn’t be a problem (especially because penetrative sex throughout pregnancy is still safe and encourages use), but is designed to hit the c-spot -Your cervix-may be very painful.

  Keep in mind that in this case, pain does not necessarily equate to endangering the baby-the mucus plug in the cervix keeps your uterus closed, and outside the uterus is the baby, so it is unlikely to break through.

  If you are nervous about being close to the genital area, especially in the third trimester, you can always explore porn in other ways, whether it's using a vibrator in another sexy zone, using a vibrator on your partner, or receiving an erotic massage.

  Is orgasm safe during pregnancy?

  If you are already in the third trimester and have been told that you are at high risk of premature birth, then orgasm may increase your chances of giving birth because it causes uterine muscles to contract.

  For women who are not in the high-risk category for preterm birth, orgasm and masturbation are safe.

  With all this information, you can make decisions based on your body and feelings. If there is any pain, stop, but don't panic. If you feel comfortable talking about masturbation during pregnancy with your obstetrician/gynecologist/healthcare provider, they will always be the best resource and are proficient in such conversations. There is no shame in the vibrator game!
