Here's the question. Is it safe to use devices during your period?

Yes, it is absolutely safe to use sex toys during your period. You may want to put a towel down underneath you before you engage in masturbation or sex with a partner while you're on your period.

As long as you're okay with blood touching other body parts and maybe getting a little messy, go for it.

An important reminder, wash your toys thoroughly before and after every use. Also, make sure your toys properly stored when you put it away.
