After giving birth, many women experience a dip in sex drive due to their body producing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9191849\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less estrogen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can result in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-toys-for-vaginal-dryness-tc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">vaginal dryness<\/a> and lower libido. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is basically evolution\u2019s way of ensuring new mothers have the time to properly heal and care for the baby rather than getting pregnant again right away. Additionally, breastfeeding raises your level of oxytocin, aka the \u2018love hormone,\u2019 which increases bonding with your baby, but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10394553\/#:~:text=Many%20women%20still%20experience%20a,with%20those%20who%20ceased%20nursing.&amp;text=FSFI%20scores%20in%20the%20desire,with%20mixed%20or%20bottle%20feeding.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may replace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the urge for intimate sexual connection with your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physical process of childbirth is also extremely strenuous- you just pushed out a living being, after all! Sexual dysfunctions after giving birth such as a loss of vaginal sensitivity and muscle tone are extremely common. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a 2024 study, only <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0301211524000952#:~:text=Only%2014%20%25%20of%20women%20report,22%5D%2C%20%5B46%5D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of women <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-toys-for-sexual-dysfunction\/\" rel=\"noopener\">sexual dysfunctions<\/a> after giving birth. Those who experienced particularly difficult childbirths that required <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sexual-healing-from-trauma-tc\/\">additional surgery<\/a> or stitches may also need a longer recovery time and have complications that may need ongoing care to heal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of it all, there are the emotional adjustments of how your body has changed, having to live by your baby\u2019s schedule, and shifting intimacy dynamics with a partner. This can all contribute to impacting sex after childbirth recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Sex Toys Aid in Postpartum Recovery<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improving Blood Circulation and Sensitivity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-intensity vibrators and external stimulation can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-toys-improve-circulation-tc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">improve blood circulation<\/a> and sensitivity in the genitals, which can aid in recovering sensation and healing after childbirth.

These muscles are put under stress during childbirth, resulting in pain, lack of sensation during sex, or incontinence. Luckily, just like any other muscles, pelvic floor muscles can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/pelvic-floor-exercise-tone-kegels\/\" rel=\"noopener\">strengthened through training<\/a>.

While there\u2019s technically <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/labor-and-delivery\/in-depth\/sex-after-pregnancy\/art-20045669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no required<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> waiting period for sex after childbirth recovery, most healthcare providers will recommend waiting until you\u2019ve had a check-up with your OB-GYN after birth. If your childbirth was particularly risky or required additional surgery or stitches, your doctor may suggest further precautions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re ready to start reinvigorating your sex life, it\u2019s important to choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-right-material-for-sex-toy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">body-safe, hypoallergenic materials<\/a> to avoid tearing or damaging your already-stressed vagina, which can prolong the healing process or cause additional complications like infection. Using high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/personal-moisturizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">water-based lubricants<\/a> can help ease this process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember \u2013 this is your journey, and you should take as much time as you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/physical-sex-toy-benefits\/\" rel=\"noopener\">heal physically<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/emotional-benefits-of-sex-toys\/\" rel=\"noopener\">emotionally<\/a>. Sex toys are a great tool because they allow you to gradually reintroduce intimacy on your own schedule, and you can take things step by step as you become more comfortable with your post-partum body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partner Intimacy &amp; Reconnecting After Birth<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After something as life-changing as having a child, it\u2019s normal for your relationship dynamic with your partner to change. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-toys-for-intimacy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Intimacy<\/a> may become less of a priority, and the two of you may need to relearn how to be intimate again. Navigating intimacy together as a couple post-baby can be a journey that brings the two of you closer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/relationship-benefits-of-sex-toys\/\">strengthens your bond<\/a> as you take steps together towards the next stage of your life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easing into your new body doesn\u2019t have to be a solo process; using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/best-app-controlled-sex-toys\/\" rel=\"noopener\">remote-controlled<\/a> or couple\u2019s sex toys with your partner can help build intimacy and trust, while you can teach your partner how to pleasure you at a pace you\u2019re comfortable with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with nearly any aspect of partnership and intimacy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/relationship-communication-through-sex-toys\/\" rel=\"noopener\">open communication<\/a> is key. Talk about your mutual needs and expectations, check in about how you feel postpartum, and let your partner know what you would like to change and what you miss about your old sex life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, sex intimacy isn\u2019t just about sex \u2013 non-sexual touch like hugging, stroking, or massage can help rebuild closeness and assure each other of your physical and emotional presence. In one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8114367\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2019 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, regular couples massage was shown to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-and-mental-health-tc\/\">boost mental wellbeing<\/a> and decrease stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The journey towards sexual wellness post-partum is a highly personal one.
