7 Most Underrated Masturbation Tips For Women

Female anatomy is amazing. The mechanisms for reaching orgasm are more complex and advanced in women than in men, which makes it harder for us to climax. But when we do, our orgasms are much more intense compared to men’s! When we pleasure ourselves, we learn about our own bodies, discover what turns us on or off, and help us orgasm. Plus, masturbation is healthy, enjoyable, and produces a rush of “happy hormones” such as endorphins that can relax us and improve our mood when we’re feeling low.

During the development of PLAY & JOY lubes, we talked to many women and men and collected 7 underrated but very useful tips for female masturbation!

 

1 / TRY NEW LOCATIONS FOR INTIMATE ACTIVITIES!

Experimenting with different rooms or locations outside of the bedroom can add a sense of novelty and excitement to your solo or partnered sexual activities. Why not spice things up by incorporating household items into your play, or try using the shower head as a makeshift vibrator while showering?

 

2 / LET YOUR MIND RUN WILD!

There’s no shame in having naughty thoughts and allowing them to play out in your imagination. This mental “foreplay” can help to increase arousal and enhance the overall pleasure of masturbation. It can also be a fun and low-risk way to explore your fantasies.

 

3 / EXPLORE MULTIPLE TYPES OF ORGASM!

Did you know that women are capable of experiencing three types of orgasms: clitoral, vaginal, and anal? And it’s possible to experience multiple orgasms simultaneously! While penetrative sex alone may not be sufficient for some women to climax, incorporating clitoral stimulation can greatly increase the likelihood of orgasm. Anal play can also be a pleasurable option for those who are comfortable with it. Don’t forget to also explore other erogenous zones, such as the nipples, for added arousal.

 

4 / TRY DIFFERENT POSITIONS FOR VARIOUS SENSATIONS!

The clitoris is a highly sensitive area and can be easily stimulated to achieve orgasm. Be sure to use plenty of lubrication to avoid irritation. The G-spot, a bundle of nerves located on the front wall of the vagina, can also be a source of intense pleasure for some women. To locate it, try inserting a finger into the vagina and feeling for a small nub about 2-3 inches deep. Certain positions, such as doggy style, may allow for easier access to the G-spot and allow for the possibility of dual stimulation.

 

5 / EXPERIMENT WITH UNUSUAL SEX TOYS!

There are many types of sex toys available that can add variety and novelty to your sexual activities. For example, two-pronged vibrators can be used for vaginal and clitoral stimulation, or even for double penetration. Vibrators that use suction or apply pressure can also provide new sensations. Nipple clamps and finger ring vibrators can also be fun to try. Remember to use lubrication for any anal play to reduce discomfort and minimize the risk of infection.

 

6 / TRY DIFFERENT KINDS OF LUBRICANT!

Lubricant is an essential tool for comfortable and pleasurable anal play, as the anus does not naturally produce lubrication. There are now many types of lubricant available, each with its own unique features. Silky lubricants can mimic natural fluids, while warming lubricants can increase sensitivity. Antibacterial lubricants can help to prevent infections for those prone to bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.

 

7 / DISCOVER ALL OF YOUR EROGENOUS ZONES!

In addition to the more well-known erogenous zones like the clitoris, vagina, anus, and nipples, there are many other sensitive areas on the body that can be explored for pleasure. These can include the scalp, ears, inner thighs, neck, back, and even the feet and toes. Experiment with different touch techniques, such as gentle strokes, firm tugs, or deep massages, to find out what works best for you and share this with your partner.
