March is here, bringing the fresh feel of springtime with blooming tulips, exciting March Madness games, and a splash of green everywhere! Whether you're enjoying green beer or seeing shamrocks popping up, it's also a great time to focus on intimacy with your partner. So, if you're hoping to "get lucky" this season in more ways than one, we've got some practical tips to help boost your connection.

1. Find the Right Lube for You

Lube can be a game-changer for enhancing intimacy, and not all lubes are created equal. This is especially true for anyone experiencing hormonal changes due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause, which can reduce natural lubrication. But don't worry—lube can benefit anyone, regardless of age or hormonal status. If you’ve experienced pain during intercourse or feel like you’re not producing enough lubrication, it's time to try a high-quality product. Here are some of our top picks:

• Coconut Oil (Avoid if allergic or using condoms): Shop here and use code EYP for 15% off

• Slippery Stuff: Shop here

• Good Clean Love: Shop here

• Coconu: Shop here and use code EYP for 15% off
  Amanda loves the Hemp Oil version for relieving pelvic pain!

2. Pain-Free Intimacy is Key

Sex should never be painful. If you've been experiencing discomfort during intimacy—whether it’s been ongoing or something new—it’s essential to seek help. Pain during intercourse is not normal and shouldn’t be accepted. A visit to a pelvic health physical therapist can work wonders. For at-home care, using a pelvic wand to gently stretch and release tension in the pelvic tissues can also help. We recommend wands from Intimate Rose, available in both regular and vibrating options. Use code HEATHER12 for $5 off!

3. Experiment with Positions

Not every position will feel comfortable for everyone, so if something doesn't feel right, switch it up! Two positions that often help reduce discomfort include:

• Woman on top: This allows you to control the depth and pace of penetration.

• Child’s pose with your partner behind you: This position can help your pelvic floor muscles naturally relax.

4. Boost Your Libido Through Self-Care

Libido is about more than just sexual desire—many factors like stress, fatigue, and overall wellness can impact it. If you're looking to boost your libido, start by nurturing other areas of your life. Prioritize getting 8 hours of sleep, treat yourself to a relaxing bath or some yoga, and practice mindfulness with deep breathing exercises. These small self-care habits can make a big difference.

March is a great time to refresh not just your surroundings but also your relationship with your body and partner. By focusing on these simple tips, you’ll be well on your way to truly getting lucky this spring!
