(Sob) I'm the unluckiest woman alive!

Been seeing a guy for a couple of months and it's going well. This weekend we actually get a rare day when we're both child free. We've been talking a lot in the week about what works for us sexually as we're just beginning that side of things; and he told me he was planning to spend all of tomorrow in bed, which I was more than agreeable with

So what do I get today? My period I know it doesn't rule out all sexual activity but it does limit what I'm comfortable with. I'm gutted!

I feel your pain - I know it doesn't stop things completely, but it really does make a difference to me.

I found softcups utterly crap - we could both feel it digging in.
A diaphragm works much better!

Another shower user here, when the mood takes us - as it often does.
You need to experiment to find a safe comfortable position but it's really worth it :)

Sorry OP - just meant oh come on cheer up it should be lucky you getting a shag day in bed with a lovely bloke!

Well we didn't spend all day in bed but he wasn't put off! But he wanted to take me out because it's my birthday tomorrow so I got sex and a cream tea!

Oh op so sorry. I know how precious the child free day can be.

You can have quiet sex when the kids are in bed, but this is the day to lie in each other's arms, skin to skin, talking bollocks, drifting in and out of sleep and discovering what makes you tick. And more importantly not clock watching or worrying.

And when it's your second chance at a romantic relationship you put so much on those rare days, and get so excited that it really is gutting. They are important to gain that depth of intimacy outside the craziness of single parenthood, stress and selflessness.

But look, you can still follow the practical advice, shower, towels, (I find nice hot baths the days before help) and you can still achieve about 80% of the goal of being together.

Hope you have fun.

Sex and a cream tea = win win

These sponges are useful in an emergency. Can be a bit of a bugger to remove though.

Tampon in during foreplay and whip it out and pop on a bit of lube while he's getting the condom on. Towel underneath
you and dark coloured bedding.

Job's a good 'un.

Bodes well that he wasn't put off.
