Period Sex UPDATE
So this is a massive public thank you to u/myexsparamour and u/TantraGirl. You have lifted the curse of the last 8 years of my life!
For those of you who find your partners don't want you during your period, or feel uncomfortable themselves, then Natural Sea Sponges are the way to go! Just find the right size for you, pop it in, and your partner will never know!!!!!!
I had amazing sex all night and the next morning and it was as if I didn't have my period at all. Incredible.
Don't be squeamish. They are easy to use, easy to remove and easy to clean. Now I can have sex whenever I want.
Thank you to all who commented on the previous thread :-)

Where do u pop it exactly? Need more explication
Insert like a tampon and push up to your cervix. I found that once it was in far enough, it found its place. I couldn't feel it and neither could he.
Is it easy to take all the part later?
I had trouble retrieving the first one I used, probably because I pushed it in too far, so I used a trick I learned in my pompoir heyday for extracting vaginal eggs:
Stand with your feet apart and your hands on a bureau or counter. Lean forward at the hips, not at the waist. You want your vagina as nearly vertical as possible. Try to relax your pelvic muscles. Do a reverse kegel or two if you know how.
Then lift up on your toes and come down on your heels with a jolt, with your legs straight and your knees locked.
Because the sponge is heavy with fluid, doing that a few times should drop it to just above the vaginal entrance. You can then do a squat or sit on the john and use your fingers to retrieve it easily.
I've used this technique with great success. I've also gotten into a very low squat and pushed - use the pelvic floor and just bear down (be alone in the bathroom - I've ripped a few loud farts doing this hahahaha and would be totally embarrassed if my bf heard!). While you're pushing just reach up with a finger, you can hook it and grab it out.
Ah the visuals today. Good thing the wild sketch guy doesn't visit...
Apparently you can sew some cotton thread or dental floss into it to help with removal, but I had no problem just having a good old firtle around and just pulling it out with my fingers. But then I have had two large babies....;-)
OK... what if your partner is long enough to always hit your cervix or even penetrate it for that matter (yes some girls like that). Like, can't you get it pushed further than you can retrieve it?
The cervix will stop it from going past the point of no return - luckily things can't get too far in the vagina versus other possible orifices. If it's further than your fingers can reach, simply walk around for a couple minutes with underwear on and every few seconds just push/bear down. You'll be able to lower it to a comfortable grabbing distance.
How do you penetrate a cervix?
You don't. He's talking about going past the cervix, into the anterior or posterior fornix.
Okay, first of all you can't penetrate the cervix. Ouch. The cervix has a tiny pinhole and no penis is going in there. However, you can go past the cervix either to the front or back.
Doesn't matter. My partner routinely penetrates past my cervix, and the sponge doesn't cause any problems at all. Also, he has never felt it, not with his penis or his fingers, and he fingers me a LOT.
The sponges are very soft and feel similar to vaginal tissue.
Yes you can, particularly if you have a longish vagina, but see my answer to Pokimos.
Apparently some people tie cotton or dental floss to aid retrieval :-)
