You can masturbate in many different ways. Most people use their hands, but many also like to use an aid. This could be a sex toy, or an object that is readily available. And since masturbating is something you often do in bed, a pillow is one such object that is available. From a small pol on Twitter, it was found that 15% had ever used a pillow when masturbating. Funnily enough, over a third of respondents thanked me for the idea. And for that group is this post, because here I explain how to use a pillow for your own convenience.

Pillow humping: Masturbate with a pillow?

It doesn’t take much imagination how to use a pillow to masturbate with. You place a pillow between your thighs and ride your hips against it to cause friction with the clitoris. Many women who are still discovering their sexuality in adolescence sometimes accidentally discover how a pillow can satisfy them even long before they know what a clitoris is.

If my poll shows anything, it is that women are more likely to use the pillow to masturbate with. So it is not weird and there is nothing wrong with you if you use a pillow for that. And if you’ve never done it before, keep reading because I have some tips for you.

9 ways to ride a pillow for persons with vulva

1. Lie on your stomach

Clamp the pillow between your legs and lie on your stomach. Now by moving your pelvis up and down, you scuff against the pillow. With your hands underneath you, you can pull the pillow closer to you for more friction. If you don’t find this convenient, lie on your side.

2. Fold your cushion in half

By folding the pillow, you create a firmer surface to rub against more easily. You can put the folded pillow between your legs in two ways: with the fold up or down.

3. Cowgirl with a pile of pillows

You can also sit on the pillow (cowgirl position). However, it is often more comfortable to use a hefty and firm pillow. If you don’t have one, you can also use a stack of pillows to get more volume and springiness, or turn the pillow on its side to get the same effect.

3. Shape and function

Experiment with cushions of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses. For example, a square or and round cushion can feel different from a rectangular cushion. Cushions also differ in hardness. Some cushions have a different texture. And also remember that the corners of a pillow can sometimes be extra fine. There are also pillows for pregnancy that are so big that you can disappear completely into them.

5. Stuffed toy

Should you ever wonder why women have stuffed animals in bed, even if they are well into their twenties? It could be because they love their stuffed toy in more ways than one

Stuffed toys are great for sex, especially if they are a bit oversized, because they have different protrusions and shapes. For instance, they often have a slightly harder protruding nose that you can enjoy riding against.

The great thing is that as a girl, you can buy almost any stuffed toy, without others knowing what (wrong but oh so delicious) intentions you have!

6. The corner of your mattress

If you have a box-spring bed, you can also put your pillow on the corner of your mattress. Or, you can use the corner of your mattress to rest against. Some women like this because it allows them to stand or squat, creating more friction.

7. Make a sex doll out of pillows

If you have a lot of pillows, you can even turn them into a sex doll. Especially if you want to create more of a corporeal experience (like with a partner), you can lay down pillows so that they take on a body shape that you can crawl against or on. You can even go as far as stuffing clothes.

8. With clothes on

For masturbating with a pillow, you don’t even have to undress (completely). Many women ride a pillow with their panties or trousers still on. Just put on a pair of silk panties and then enjoy the sliding soft feeling as you make out with your pillow.

9. Add

Put your pillow under your hips, then add a new element, such as a vibrator or an empty water bottle. Any phallic object, vibrating or otherwise, will do. Putting it under your pillow, or folding the pillow between them, creates a curve you can rub against.
