Guide: Creative masturbation positions for women

I’ve often wondered why masturbation seems to be so much more important to men than it is to women. All my boyfriends have talked about it the way they talk about food - it’s something they need to feel good. You rarely hear girls say that. Yet surveys show that over 80% of women masturbate regularly. This is good news. Those of you who read Mshop Magazine know that we often encourage having a sex life with yourself, even if you’re in a relationship.

The benefits are many. It feels good, it’s relaxing, it’s free, but above all, it can strengthen your sex life with your partner. Women who masturbate are more likely to orgasm with their partner, and this result is probably related to knowing your body. By experimenting with different positions when you masturbate, you can discover new ways to reach orgasm and also enjoy a varied sex life with yourself.

Here are our best masturbation tips for women - try these positions next time you have some time to yourself

On your knees

How to do it:

Kneel on the floor or on the bed. Keep your knees wide apart. Use this position to press yourself against a firm surface beneath you. It could be the mattress, a pillow, or your hand. If you want it to feel extra good, use a dildo, of course.

Tip! Place a book on the bed and attach a suction cup dildo to it, so you can rub back and forth and press against it without it sliding to the side.

Why it’s fantastic:

You can rock back and forth, thrust yourself forward or backward, roll your hips in circles, or adapt the position to your own preferences. In this position, the extra blood flow to your pelvic region can help with both arousal and orgasm.

Clitoral vibrators:

The chair

How to do it:

This is a masturbation tip for women you’ve probably overlooked! Sit on a chair without arms, such as a dining chair or folding chair. Wrap your legs around the chair legs and keep your legs spread apart.

Why it’s fantastic:

This gives you easy access to the delicious parts between your legs, and when you reach climax, you can press your legs against the chair legs. By opening your vulva this wide, you’ll experience some new - and sometimes even more intense - sensations than you usually do.

How to do it:

Start by lying on your stomach in bed. Place one or two pillows under you to support your stomach and hips. Place a sex toy between your body and the pillow.

Why it’s fantastic:

The pillows angle your hips upward, which can give you new sensations. They also make you tense your leg muscles, which can feel very different for you… and pleasurable.

Tip! Use a Remote-Controlled Vibrator to increase the intensity in this position. Let your arms rest forward as in the picture, and control the vibrations with the remote control in your hands.

The leg shaver

How to do it:

When you’re in the shower, place one foot on the side of the bathtub or something else that’s slightly higher. If you don’t have anything to place your foot on, simply lean against a wall and move one knee to the side. Now you have full access to your vulva. Use your fingers or the detachable shower head to tease yourself.

Why it’s fantastic:

Masturbating while standing is a fantastic position that many women forget about. The leg shaver not only gives you full access to your vulva, but also provides a little leg and core workout, since you have to work a bit harder while your body is in a vertical position. This, in turn, flexes your pelvic floor muscles, creating more sensation in your “feel-good” nerves.

Tip! Once you’re warmed up, it’s time to take the sensation a step further - bring out your waterproof vibrator and give your g-spot some love.

The superstar

How to do it:

Position yourself on the bed or somewhere else comfortable. Get on your knees and start spreading your legs apart. Continue until you find a position that feels comfortable for you. Support your body with one of your arms. You can lean backward or forward, or hold onto a wall.

Why it’s fantastic:

Because you can vary this position so much - change angles, use multiple toys for penetration and/or external stimulation. In this position, it’s easy to discover new places on your body and new things that turn you on. Leaning forward and then backward can create new sensations and lets you open up the rest of your body for exploration. Play with your fingers and feel free to get help from sex toys from Mshop.

Tip! To make this extra sexy, put nipple clamps on your nipples.

Nipple clamps restrict blood flow in the nipple, which increases sensation.

The solo snake

How to do it:

Lie on your stomach and rub your pelvic bone against a vibrating toy beneath you.

Why this masturbation tip for women is fantastic:

Your body weight creates extra friction against your clitoris, and when you rub yourself backward and forward, you reach the shaft of your clitoris.

Tip! A clitoral vibrator is perfect to place under you when you do the solo snake.
