But if you’re like most pregnant women, you will have a ton of questions about sex when you’re pregnant. Will it hurt the baby? Can I use my vibrator? How can I make sex interesting while my body is changing so much?

There are lots of ways to make sex interesting while you are pregnant. To start with, always consult your doctor. If you are brave enough, bring up using your sex toy specifically. Most likely he or she will be more than happy to answer any questions you have about using your toy. In fact, they’ll probably be glad you asked. Most likely, if you are okayed to continue to have sexual relations, then the use of your toy should be fine, too. Since sex toys mimic the same sexual activities that we do with other body parts, there’s no reason to think that they could harm you or your baby.

Once you have spoken with your doctor about your sexual activity, the next person you will need to talk to is your partner. They will most likely have questions of their own. You might want to begin the conversation with what you discussed with your doctor. Remember, good communication is the key to a great sexual experience. Talking about the new positions you can try in order to accommodate your ever-growing belly can be a wonderful precursor to foreplay. Just visualizing your mate taking you to orgasmic bliss in all manner of ways, including with your toys, is enough to make you wet and ready for action.

Your body will be going through many changes during your pregnancy. One of which might be vaginal dryness. If you’ve never used lubricant before, now is a great time to try it. The slippery sensuality that a good quality lube brings to your sexual encounter can take your lovemaking to a whole new height. During pregnancy, as your belly continues to expand, it’s a good time to experiment with new sexual positions. Whether it be woman on top, laying on your side in the spooning position, or standing up. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

There are a few things to keep in mind while using your toys during pregnancy. First and foremost, keep your toys clean. Always keep your toys cleaned and well maintained. This will prolong your toy’s life and give you the pleasure you crave so much. It’s recommended that you use a condom on any sex toy you use for penetration. If you decide to try your dildo or vibrator during anal play, then change the condom. Also change it when you use it on your sexual partner. Taking the right precautions frees your mind to focus on other, more important things. Like where is he going to touch you next? Or what would it feel like if you put your toy there? You should also purchase an adult toy cleanser to keep your toy clean.

In your third trimester, your belly is so big you have no choice but to try something new. This is a great time to break out of your sexual routine if you have one and spice things up. Try using a pocket rocket or clitoral stimulator. Let your partner rub this little beauty all over your labia and clitoris. With all the blood that is rushing down to your pelvis because of the pregnancy, you are sure to experience the most erotic orgasms of your life. Or if you’re really adventurous, you can try some jelly anal beads or a small dildo. Don’t forget the lubricant if you try this though. So no matter how pregnant you are, if you are healthy, then be adventurous. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little. It can be extremely fun and rewarding to both you and your partner.
