What to know or do
Use clean products intended for the body, stop for pain or concerning symptoms and ask your clinician when your care plan limits penetration or orgasm.
What changes the answer
- Consent, comfort, infection exposure and the activity involved
- Bleeding, pain, fluid loss, placenta or preterm-birth concerns
- Any individual restriction or treatment plan from maternity care
Check with your care team
When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
