6 Masturbation Positions Every Woman Should Try

Hey, pleasure enthusiast! Let’s talk about self-love, shall we? Masturbation is a powerful way to explore your body, relieve stress, and feel empowered. It’s all about connecting with yourself and discovering what brings you the most pleasure for different kinds of orgasms. And trust us, there’s a whole world of positions and techniques to explore. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, it’s always a great time to switch things up.
In this blog, we'll be sharing six masturbation positions and techniques that’ll have you feeling your best. Let’s dive in.
1. The “Laid Back Vibes” (Position: Lying on Your Back)
This position allows you to focus on the entire external region of your intimate area, including the vulva (and the clit) and, if you’re open to it, the anal opening as well. While the clitoris is one of the most sensitive parts of a woman’s body, the anal area is also packed with nerve endings, making it incredibly sensitive and a great source of pleasure. Mastering the stimulation of both can lead to euphoric experiences.
Position:
- Lying on your back with both knees bent, either with one leg down or both legs planted on the bed.
Technique:
- Use your fingers (or a vibrator if you prefer) to stimulate your vulva lips, clitoral hood, or even the vaginal opening. A wand vibrator with a wide surface area is especially effective for enveloping the entire vulva, not just the clit! You may wish to also try rock your hips too for added sensation.
If you’re open to exploring your anal region, particularly the anus opening. You can use your other hand to gently stimulate that area with the tip of your fingers while your other hand is playing with your vulva for that dual stimulation.
With this technique, you’ll have a greater range of motion, allowing you to shift between direct clitoral stimulation and exploring other erogenous areas at your own pace.
2. The “G-Spot Tilt” (Position: Lying on Your Back)
Looking for deeper, more intense sensations? This position tilts the pelvis forward as you place a pillow under your hips, straightening the vaginal canal and giving you easier access to the G-spot area. While it’s often called a “spot,” it’s actually a zone within the vagina’s internal clitoral network, located about 2-3 inches inside the top surface. This area is packed with sensitive nerve endings that, when properly stimulated, could have you screaming like a goat!
Position:
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed (or a comfortable surface).
- Place a pillow underneath your hips to tilt your pelvis forward, giving you better access.
Technique:
- Gently insert a finger or a curved toy (G-Spot Vibrator) into your vagina and curl it up towards your belly button.
When it comes to picking your perfect G-Spot Vibrator, our Dahlia G-Spot Vibrator is great for beginners, whereas toys like our Euphoria Clit & G-Spot Vibrator have a dual feature to stimulate you both internally and externally for something more even thrilling!
- If you’re using your fingers, move them in a “come hither” motion, feeling for a ridged, spongy area that becomes engorged with stimulation.
-
If you’re using a G-spot sex toy, apply slow, steady pressure while experimenting with different speeds and patterns to find what feels best.
3. The “Grinder” (Position: Sitting or Straddling)
This one is all about using your own body weight to intensify the sensation and give you some serious pleasure.
Grinding on a surface feels so good for women because it stimulates multiple sensitive areas of the body, particularly the clitoris, vulva, and even the vaginal opening. When a woman grinds on a surface, whether it’s a pillow, a partner, or even a toy, the friction creates a steady, consistent pressure against these areas, increasing blood flow and activating nerve endings. This can build arousal and amplifies pleasurable sensations!
Position:
- Sitting up or straddling a pillow or soft surface
- You can switch between sitting straight up or leaning forward to adjust the angle and target different erogenous zones.
Technique tip:
- Lean forward to feel more pressure on the clitoris or sit up straight for a fuller sensation.
- Position your palms on the ground or grip the sides of your pillow to control the pace, pressure, and angle, and see what works best for you.
-
Turn it up a notch by adding grinding sex toys like the Hedonist’s Papillon Grinding Pad into the mix to elevate the sensations.
4. The “Side Anal Stroker” (Position: Lying on Your Side)
If you’re looking for a more relaxed, intimate experience, this position is perfect for gentle exploration with an anal toy. It allows for a slow, steady build-up of pleasure, making it ideal for longer sessions.
P.s When shopping for an anal toy, be sure to get one with a flared base to prevent you vibrators from getting sucked into "the black hole". For more helpful tips on anal play, check out this guide to help ease you in!
Position:
- Lying on your side with one leg bent up, providing easy access for anal play.
- This position works great with slow, steady strokes for anal penetration while your other hand can focus on your clitoris or external stimulation. The key here is a relaxed pace, giving you time to fully appreciate every sensation..
Technique tip:
-
Start by applying a generous amount of lube to your fingers or anal sex toy as the anus is not self-lubricating. And don’t forget to use the lube launcher too as the anal canal will need extra lubrication not just externally but internally as well for a smoother and more comfortable butt play experience.
- With one hand, gently insert your fingers or a butt plug into your anus, taking it slow to allow your body to adjust.
-
If using an anal toy, experiment with varying pressure and rhythm, adjusting until you find what feels most pleasurable.
Beginners to butt play might want to start with The Peachy Bunch, which offers a range of sizes and features a slim tip for easier penetration. If you’re looking for something extra stimulating, try our Akoya Anal Beads—the real thrill comes from slowly pulling out each bulb, teasing your anal nerves with every glide. (shivers in pleasure)
- For extra sensation, use your other hand for gentle vaginal or clitoral stimulation, playing with different motions to enhance the experience.
5. The “Belly Flop” (Position: Lying on Your Belly)
The weight of your body pressing down on the bed or surface creates gentle friction, not just with your hands massaging your clit and vulva, but by lying on your belly, you also allow the friction to rub against your breasts. Plus, let’s not forget the way your moans get muffled against the pillow—melts. It’s an intimate, immersive experience where every touch and movement feels amplified, heightening your pleasure as your body sinks deeper into the sensation.
Position:
- Lie on your belly with your legs slightly apart.
- Optionally, place a pillow under your hips for added lift and comfort.
Technique tip:
- Begin by applying lube generously to your fingers or anal toy to ensure smooth, comfortable play.
- Place your hand (or hands) between your legs, gently pressing on your clitoris.
- Grind and rock your hips against your hand, experimenting with up-and-down, forward-and-back, or gentle circular movements to find what feels best.

- For foreplay, give some attention to your clitoris – use your fingers, or even try the shower head for clitoral stimulation. The spray can be an exciting way to enhance arousal.
