5 Female Masturbation Techniques
When it comes to self-care, self-pleasure always tops the list. Beyond just feeling ahhh-mazing, masturbation has tons of health benefits that can improve everything from period cramps to stress levels. That’s why learning how to masturbate is basically a superpower.
If you’re here because you’re not 100% sure how to get yourself off, don’t worry. Everyone enjoys different sensations—and mastering the art of self-pleasure is all about finding what makes you tick.
So, whether you’re a certified sexpert or masturbation novice, here are some super-hot female masturbation techniques to heat up your next self-pleasure session.
1. Solo Scissoring
Guess what? You don’t need neon dildos to give yourself toe-curling orgasms. On those late nights when you’re in control, vibrators can be too much to handle. When you need something simple, the best way to go is organic.
Even if you’re eager, don’t immediately go for the hole-in-one. Instead, gently move your fingers around the labia lips and vaginal canal. Make a peace sign with your fingers to stroke your inner labia while changing motions. You can rub, stroke, squeeze, or tap your labia for some seriously good sensations. And yes, you should be using lube!
2. Combo Play
Combo play might sound intimidating, but it’s one of the best ways to explore your body and tune into new sensations. It’s all about trying different combinations of your erogenous and sexual zones.
For example, you might rub your clit with your fingers while pressing your vibrator along your thighs. Or, you might penetrate your vagina with your vibrator while squeezing your nipples. You can also try different sensations, like biting, tugging, and pinching, until you find out what feels best.
3. Add Some Layers
We don’t have to tell you this, but the clit is super sensitive. We all want to treat ourselves to some intense sensations…but when it comes to the clit, intensity isn’t always the best option. Layers can give you less direct pressure and touch, so there’s less of the painful feelings and more of the good stuff.
Want to start simple? Touch your clit through soft fabric, like underwear. If rubbing is your go-to move, try tapping around the clitoral hood with your fingers. You can use multiple fingers to gently tap your clit, which can wake up the nerve endings in that area.
Or, if you’re looking for a slightly more advanced technique, try the vulva sandwich. Start by squeezing your outer lips together around your clit like a sandwich so your clit gets indirect pressure. You can move your sandwich up or down, or pull it out and push it in, so your labia slides back and forth against the clit.
4. Let the Rhythm Take Over
Let’s face it: regular P-in-V sex can be boring. The same movements might leave you craving more, especially when it’s clear that your Tinder date is only in it for themselves. So, when it comes to self-pleasure, it’s only natural to want more.
Not sure where to start? Tap into your rhythmic abilities by changing the tempo of your hand (or toy). Try experimenting with different rhythms and zeroing in on what feels best. And remember: it’s totally OK to alternate hands if your dominant hand starts losing momentum.
When you’re ready to take your pleasure to the next level, start slow with gentle penetrations from one or two fingers. Once you’re warmed up, get buzzing with a dual-action vibrator. Don’t be afraid to play with different settings, intensities, and movements—it’s all about finding out what works for you.
5. Anal Stimulation
If you’ve never tried it before, anal stimulation can feel amazing. The anus contains a high concentration of nerve endings, which can make sensations super powerful. You can also hit the g-spot through the wall shared between your vagina and anus for an ultra-intense solo session. Sounds pretty great, right?
If you’re new to anal masturbation, you’ll need to start slow. Apply gentle pressure around your anus with a lubricated finger. Tease the regions around your anus and focus on the pulsations, but don’t enter your anus until you feel comfortable. (Pro tip: don’t be stingy with the lube!).
When you’re ready, insert one finger a few centimeters at a time. You should pause every few seconds to let your muscles relax. You might feel a combination of pain and pleasure—and that’s completely normal. After some practice, you can get buzzing with your favorite vibe for some orgasm-worthy stimulation.
Your Body, Your Desires
Even if you’ve found the perfect moves to get you off every time, your self-pleasure routine can be just as experimental as your partner play (after all, routine can get a little…routine).
When you’re craving some new sensations, get buzzing with Iridescence. With two tantalizing pleasure points, flexible curves for every position, and 12 playful vibration settings, Iridescence puts the power in your hands. Plus, she’s fully waterproof, so you can take her anywhere.
