Also known as sex wedges and sex cushions, sex pillows are designed to offer extra support in the fucking department. The useful aids are handy when you want to try out an interesting new sex position or you’re looking for a more comfortable way to have sex with your partner. Read on to find out more about how to choose the best sex pillows and positioning aids (and what to do with them).
Why do I need a sex pillow or positioning aid?
When I first heard about sex pillows and positioning aids, I remember thinking, “Why would you get one of those when you can simply perch on a pillow from your bed?” Thankfully, a clued-up friend persuaded me to give a sex pillow a try, and I’m glad she did. The pillows on my bed are full of feathers and tend to sink under me, but sex pillows are typically made from foam or inflatable, and they are designed to prop me up and support me while I get up to mischief.
Who can use a sex pillow or positioning aid?
Sex pillows and positioning aids can be used by all, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and work particularly well for people of different sizes. My friend is petite at five-foot-one and size 6, whereas her other half is a strapping six-foot-six, built-like-a-brick-shithouse type of fella. When they head to the bedroom to try out a new sexual position, it can be more challenging for them, given the size difference. The sex pillow put them on a more even keel, and allows them to fuck more easily.
Similarly, if you’re a BBW (big beautiful woman) with curves in all the right places, you can get it on more easily with a sex pillow. The wedge will support your weight, so you can enjoy the heat of the moment rather than the heat of perspiration as you ride your lover’s cock. The sex pillow can also come in handy as a prop if you have mobility issues or some limitations regarding strength.
How to use a sex pillow or positioning aid
There are plenty of ways to use a sex pillow or positioning aid to explore and enhance sexual pleasure. If you like good old missionary, why not use a sex pillow to change things up? Stick the wedge under your ass cheeks as you lean back and open wide for a more intense experience.
The sex pillow causes your pelvis to angle upwards, allowing for deeper penetration, so you’ll feel every thrust. Using the positioning aid in this way will also enable G-spot stimulation, which can lead to a powerful orgasm.
If you prefer to do it doggy, you can flip over and place the sex pillow underneath your stomach and hips. The pillow will help prop you up and take some of the pressure off your wrists. You can stop worrying about bracing yourself for the inevitable thrusts and focus on enjoying each stroke.
Collaborations & fave brands
Sex pillows and positioning aids can also be used for oral sex. I love to lie back with a sex wedge under my hips, with my pelvis tilted upward my pussy is more prominent and it turns me on to think of my partner staring at it while he gets hard.
The sex pillow puts me at a better angle for him, and he’s not stooping in so much, so there’s no chance of a crooked neck! He often uses his strong hands to support my hips while he licks me out, but if we use the sex pillow, he doesn’t need to do that. The wedge does the work for him, and as he’s not propping me up, he’s hands free, which means he can touch and tease me all over.
Finding the best sex pillows and positioning aids
Sex pillows come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and weights, and I must emphasize that quality counts. I’ve tried both a foam and an inflatable sex pillow, and both have individual qualities. Foam sex pillows tend to be dense and supportive regardless of size or weight, and if you fancy group sex, a foam sex pillow is your go-to toy. However, this type of sex pillow can also be large, take up lots of room, and it’s not great to transport!
Inflatable sex pillows have less density, and although they do provide support, they may not be as effective for weightier people or group fun. On the plus side, you won’t have to leave your inflatable pillow lying on the bed, try to find a place to pack it away, or worry about taking it on vacation with you.
If, like me, you’re a squirter, you might be worried about soiling your sex pillow. Mine has a waterproof cover, so I don’t have to fret about my love juice spilling all over it. Some sex pillows come with removable covers, so you can take the cover off when it gets grubby and wash off the cum!
The shape has an impact, too. Short pillows with a wedge shape are great for raising the hips, so they work well for oral. Longer pillows will help you get comfy for doggy and backdoor action, while cylinder-shaped pillows work well for missionary as they help support the lower back.
I’m thinking of getting myself a sex pillow with a hole, which is something I spotted while browsing online recently. You can insert a vibrator or dildo into the hole and take your pillow for a cheeky ride. This type of hands-free action is right up my street when I need some solo pleasure. I get to caress my tits and stroke my clit while I thrust up and down on my pillow partner.
If you’ve not tried a sex pillow yet, I would highly recommend you do. Investing in the best sex pillows and positioning aids can take your sex life from average to awesome, and I can’t wait to buy one with an opening for my trusty vibrator.
