Pillows aren’t just for resting your sweet head on.
They can also help make sex that bit more comfortable and pleasurable.
Though many already know this, a now deleted TikTok video sparked conversation around the ‘hack’ late last year.
Specific firm pillows, mounts and ramps sold as being for sex exist, but you can also just use your regular pillow to do the same trick.
So why use a pillow under your hips?
Firstly, it can make vaginal and anal sex more pleasurable.
By adding ‘lift’ to this part of the body, the angle at which penetration happens shifts slightly and can become deeper.
It can be particularly helpful in missionary and lying down doggy positions, tilting the body higher for easier penetration.
Some experts say this can increase the possibility of people reaching the controversial G-spot.
It won’t work for everyone though, so it’s worth trying the ‘pillow hack’ with an open mind.
Aside from lifting the pelvis us, pillows in sex have other benefits.
If you’re in a kneeling position and have weak knees – hip, neck and back aches – it can cushion your joints to eliminate pain.
Couples with a height difference can enjoy this too, by stacking a couple underneath the shorter person.
The extra height might bring you physically closer too, making sex more intimate, as it could improve eye contact, which studies have shown increases feelings of togetherness.
Just make sure you wash the pillow case afterwards.
