And it takes work! Shower sex? That’d be cool. But my anxiety gets the best of me. I’m scared of accidentally slipping because of the wet floor and then hitting my head on a sharp surface. Not really a pretty way to die….. **_More Reading:_** * [The Women Who Sneak Period Blood Into Their Partner’s Food](https://stayathomemum.com.au/wtf/the-women-who-sneak-period-blood-into-their-partners-food/) * [8 Things You Definitely Want To Know About Period Sex](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-lifestyle/8-things-you-definitely-want-to-know-about-period-sex/) * [15 Useful Period Tracker Apps](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/conception-and-fertility/15-useful-period-tracker-apps/) * [Is Period Syncing Really a Thing?](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-lifestyle/health/period-syncing/) * [Yep!

It provides comfortable, leak-proof protection that can also be worn during sex without your partner feeling a thing, thanks to its flat design and positioning behind the pubic bone. Its shaped like a flat disc with a flexible rim, a design which is unique from all traditional menstrual products so it is not shocking to learn that the Ziggy Cup is becoming a popular choice and becoming known (through word of mouth) for ladies who want to have sex during those red days. It can withstand vigorous-intensity activities for 10-12 hours! Goodness, so many err.. “things” you can do in 12 hours and you won’t have to worry about those white sheets. And imagine what else can you do during the heavy flow for an entire day without worrying about a leak. Wear that white skirt, do your yoga, dance all night, run that marathon. If this isn’t just a game changer! Menstrual Cups are great for the environment and are also cost-effective. A well- looked-after menstrual cup can last as long as 10 years! Make sure to clean it thoroughly BEFORE or AFTER use. [Stockist: The Iconic](https://prf.hn/l/ER9j58V) PS. The Ziggy Cup is also used for [home insemination](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/conception-and-fertility/how-to-get-yourself-pregnant-with-home-insemination/) purposes! Enjoy this wonderful discovery ladies. The only bad thing about this is you will have to take out I HAVE MY PERIOD from the list of excuses not to have sex. ![author avatar](https://i0.wp.com/stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 12/clare_whitfield_profile.webp?quality=80&ssl=1) Clare Whitfield Chief Editor Clare Whitfield is the Editor of Stay at Home Mum and a recognised voice in practical home management for Australian families.
