What do you do with his "juice"?
Hey Girls,
Just curious what you all do in this situation: DH and I are married (obviously) and trying to conceive, and thus have just started having "unprotected" sex and a minor detail has become a slight inconvenience. Since he's not pulling out and there is no condom to catch it, his "juice" spills out or leaks out and it gets, well, messy! I guess I just assumed it would stay where it was shot to, if you now what I mean. 
) So, my question is, how do you girls deal with the aftermath? Towels on hand? Just change sheets more often? Thanks for your input/ideas!
Re: What do you do with his "juice"?
LOL!!!! Well my husband has never been the type to pull out or to wear a condom so we have faced this problem for 6 years now. Its gross yes, and some times he will pull out when I ask, but Lately we are also TTC so there is no hope. We basically just wipe up after we are done with his boxers or a towel, what ever is close. I would say 95% of the time its his boxers which are promptly placed in the laundry. we do wash our sheets often though. Also I find that If im on top, its less messy on the sheets, it sorta pools on him and its easier to wipe up. Some time Ill get up and go to the bathroom asap, but now im letting it "ferment" LOL PS A shower is also easy clean up!!
Good luck on the Baby making!!
We put a towel down beforehand so if any spills, it doesn't make a mess on the bed. Then I usually grab a Kleenex and head to the bathroom to pee, where the majority drips out in the toilet. I'm on the pill, but I would still do this if we were TTC, because the fastest swimmers are already well on their way. And everything reliable that I've read indicates it's best to use the restroom ASAP to avoid infections.
Yes, I also ffind that it's less messy when I'm on top. The most messy, I feel like, is when we do it doggie style. I just feel so unclean... I just need to wipe off/take a shower afterwards!
This exactly. I hate how messy sex gets it gets annoying with all of the leakage afterwards. We both clean up with paper towels, I go pee, then I use a panty liner.
Towel stash or feminine wipes beside the bed for after
Since you are trying to conceive wait to try to expel the semen from your vagina. But after a time, sit up/go to restroom and use your vaginal muscle tone expel the majority of the semen into towel/toilet. Squeeze the same way you would squeeze if your man's member was inside of you.This can help decrease the amount of leakage later on. Urinating after intercourse 10-15 min also decrease the risk for UTI.
