Having sex while on your period can make things a bit messy though. If you opt to stay and play in bed, set down a towel on your sheets beforehand to absorb any stains.

Another plus is your menstrual blood works as a natural lubricant. Our all-natural feminine wipes and refreshing panty spray are perfect for a quick clean-up before and after playtime to keep you feeling your freshest and ready to go!

If you’re caught in the moment, be sure you remove a tampon if you have one in and always use a condom.
