Is It Normal to Finger Yourself?

Yes, 100% normal. In fact, most people who identify as women engage in solo masturbation at some point.

Fingering isn’t just about pleasure. It’s a great way to:

• Learn what you like and don’t like

• Make partnered sex more enjoyable

• Improve body confidence and self-awareness

Many women find fingering empowering. It's a form of body autonomy and self-love.

If you've ever wondered how to finger yourself for the first time, you're already taking a step toward understanding what brings you pleasure — and that’s powerful.

Fingering is just one way to learn what your body likes — and our sex toys for women can add even more depth and variety to your solo sessions.

Preparing Yourself: Hygiene, Comfort & Consent

Before you even slide your hand down your panties, a few basics can make the experience more enjoyable and safe.

Clean Hands & Nails

Wash your hands and trim your nails. Even a tiny scratch down there can be painful. Clean fingers reduce the risk of infection.

Set the Mood

• Dim the lights

• Light a candle

• Play soft music

Comfort and relaxation help your body open up to sensation. Laying on a soft bed with a pillow under your hips can help tilt your pelvis slightly — a great angle for g-spot fingering later on.

Get Consent — From Yourself

This may sound odd, but give yourself permission to enjoy. If shame, guilt, or anxiety creeps in, pause and remind yourself: exploring your body is natural and healthy.

Set the scene with one of our sensual lingerie pieces— feeling good in your skin can heighten arousal and deepen self-connection.

Fingering Yourself: Step-by-Step Guide

Ready to begin? Here's how to finger yourself step-by-step:

Step 1: Start With External Touch

Use your fingertips to gently trace the skin on your inner thighs, stomach, or chest. Breathe deeply. Let your touch be light and curious.

Focus on your clitoris — the small, sensitive bump near the top of your vulva. Avoid rushing. Just gently rub or tap around it to see what feels good.

Step 2: Add Lube (Optional but Recommended)

A water-based lubricant makes everything smoother and more comfortable — especially if you’re new to fingering or want to go inside.

Try EjaGuard Organic Lube — gentle, pH-balanced, and safe for sensitive skin.

Step 3: Clitoral Stimulation

The clitoris has over 8,000 nerve endings. For many, clitoral stimulation alone can lead to orgasm.

Try:

• Light circles using your fingertip

• Side-to-side swipes

• Rhythmic tapping

Listen to your body. Slow down if you get overstimulated. Speed up when it feels right.

Step 4: Penetration (Only If You Want To)

If you feel aroused and wet, insert one clean, lubed finger gently into your vagina. Use a slow, ‘come here’ motion.

This is where g-spot fingering starts. Your g-spot feels like a slightly rough or spongy patch about 1–2 inches inside, on the upper vaginal wall.

You can:

• Apply gentle pressure

• Curl your finger toward your belly button

• Combine internal motion with clitoral stimulation

Step 5: Build Up to Orgasm

As arousal builds, keep your rhythm steady. Combine both clitoral and internal stimulation. You might feel pressure, heat, or an urge to release.

Let it happen.

If you don’t orgasm, that’s OK too. The goal is to feel good, not to perform.

Our silky, pH-balanced EjaGuard Organic Lube is ideal for smoother, more comfortable penetration and external stimulation.

Exploring Different Techniques & Positions

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fingering techniques for women. Try experimenting with different hand movements and body positions.

Fingering Techniques

• The Circle: Draw soft circles around your clit using one or two fingers

• Tap & Tease: Gently tap your clitoris or vaginal entrance

• Two-Finger Thrust: Use two fingers inside for added fullness

• Come-Hither Curl: Curl your finger to stimulate the g-spot

• Clit Pulse Rub: Rub up and down quickly over the clit hood

Fingering Positions Solo

• Lying on Your Back: Best for full body relaxation

• On All Fours: Great for deeper g-spot access

• Squatting in the Shower: Gives control over depth and angle

• Knees Up, Legs Apart: Opens up your pelvis for easy access

Try each and see what works for your body.

Tips to Make Fingering Feel Even Better

Want to make yourself orgasm more easily? These tips will help:

• Relax First: Tension blocks pleasure. Breathe deeply and stretch before starting.

• Use Both Hands: One for clit, one for penetration.

• Edge Yourself: Bring yourself close to orgasm, then stop. Repeat a few times before climaxing for a stronger release.

• Use a Mirror: Watching yourself can boost arousal and help you see what works.

• Focus on the Build-Up: Don’t rush. Orgasm isn’t the only goal — pleasure is.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even though how to finger yourself is personal, here are a few things to avoid:

• Skipping Lube: Dry fingering = discomfort.

• Forcing Penetration: If your body says no, listen.

• Using Long Nails: Ouch. Trim and file first.

• Not Cleaning Up: Wash hands before and after to avoid infection.

• Expecting Orgasm Right Away: Some people need more time. That’s OK.

When to Use Lube or Toys

Lube isn’t a luxury — it’s a game-changer. It makes everything feel smoother and reduces the risk of tearing.

Use lube when:

• You’re trying internal fingering

• Your natural lubrication is low

• You want longer sessions without friction

Solo Toys for Added Pleasure:

• Finger sleeves

• Bullet vibrators (clit stimulation)

• G-spot dildos

• Suction vibrators

But start with fingers first. It helps you tune into your body before introducing extras.

FAQs: Fingering Yourself

What if I don’t feel anything when I finger myself?

That’s totally normal, especially at first. Try slowing down, changing positions, or focusing on your breath. Mindfulness can heighten sensation.

Can I finger myself while on my period?

Yes — just use a towel or do it in the shower. Many women feel extra sensitive during menstruation.

Is it safe to finger myself daily?

Yes, as long as your nails are trimmed, hands are clean, and you listen to your body. Daily fingering can be part of a healthy routine.

How do I know if I’ve found my g-spot?

It feels like a small spongey patch on the front wall of your vagina. When stimulated, it might feel warm, tingly, or make you want to pee — that’s a good sign!

What if I’ve never had an orgasm?

No worries. Keep exploring. Try edging, combining clit and g-spot play, or using a toy. Every body is different.
