Sex tips for women

Fortunately, for menopausal women, there are many ways to overcome sexual problems. Here are our eight ways to help you adjust to your changing health during and after menopause:

1. Invest in a clitoral vibrator.

Since a person's clitoris surface area may be smaller, giving more direct attention to the clitoris may be a good start. An external massager or vibrator is the best way to secure you. Find a sex toy made of medical grade silicone and use it at different speeds so you can adjust, as you may find that your sexual response will further change during your lifetime. If you plan on using it with your partner during penetrative sex, an external massager is one way to do it.

Clitoral stimulation is essential at any age or stage of sexual health, so we recommend that everyone should feel this way.

2. Incorporate Kegel exercises into your exercise routine.

Kaigl is the best way to exercise your pelvic floor muscles. Strong pelvic floor muscles can lead to a strong orgasm.

Are you interested in learning Kaigl? Here's a crash course: Stay in bed. Now, tighten the muscles you normally use to stop the flow of urine. Those are your pelvic floor muscles. Hold for 3-6 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds and hold for another 3-6 seconds. Do this ten times.

3.Try something new

Change your bedroom life. See this as an opportunity to try to get out of your comfort zone, try sexual activities you've always wondered about but never tried, and find new ways to connect your sexual responses.

If you are trying to achieve the same sexual pleasure as before and think your problem may be mental and holding you back physically, then seek sexual therapy.

4. Estrogen cream

If you have no family history of central cancers in women, such as breast or ovarian cancer, you may want to talk to your doctor about estrogen creams. Estrogen cream is a vaginal cream used to treat vaginal atrophy. This is a stopgap measure because most doctors won't prescribe it for more than a year because studies have shown that estrogen creams may have carcinogenic effects.

5. Lubricating oil,

Water-based lubricants are excellent moisturizers to replace natural lubricants. Water-based lubricants have a similar consistency to natural lubricants, and if you buy them from a reputable source, they should not affect your vaginal pH. But if you find that water-based lubricants aren't for you, don't give up. Silicon-based lubricants are also amazing, having better endurance than water-based lubricants. Just remember that silicone sex toys cannot be made with silicone lubricants (like Limon!). , because it will affect the physical safety of material sex toys.

Using lubricants is essential, even if you don't use them often before menopause, because your vaginal tissue thins and the function of your clitoris decreases. A well-lubricated vulva can reduce any friction and keep sex painless and enjoyable.

6. Vaginal dilators

If you experience pain during intercourse due to a reduction in the width and length of your vulva, a vaginal dilator may be an option worth investing in. Vaginal dilatation therapy involves a set of increasingly wide cylindrical tubes to help adjust your vagina to a larger size.

7. Foreplay

You may notice that it takes you longer to reach orgasm. One of the best ways to make sure you get the most out of any conversation you have with your partner is to make sure you do some foreplay before the main event. Adequate foreplay will ensure that your body is lubricated and that you have activated your sexual response to prevent any painful hiccups.

8. Educate yourself and listen to these podcasts about menopause.

Sexual health requires lifelong learning. There are some great resources to help women share the latest knowledge in middle age and beyond.

One podcast we particularly recommend is Menopause: Silence by Dr. Jane Minkin. Dr. Mary Jane Minkin is a clinical professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale University School of Medicine. In each episode of these shows, a woman speaks about their sexual health journey.

One of the better podcast selections is Not Your Mother's Menopause, hosted by Dr. Fiona Lovely. This podcast details the side effects of menopause on sexual behavior and provides guidance for menopausal and middle-aged women to overcome bedroom sex issues.

The third recommended podcast is "Thrive in Menopause," hosted by menopause transition expert Clarissa Chrisyansson. She takes a holistic approach to one's midlife changes and women's health, focusing on how hormonal changes affect one's work, well-being, and the sexual side effects of menopause.
