The short story first
I had a BBL last year. I loved my new shape. But I was nervous about being close with my partner. Would it hurt? Would I mess up my results? I wanted romance, but I also wanted to heal. Both things can be true. Funny how that works.
You know what? It wasn’t simple. But it was doable. And yes, it can even feel sweet and fun again—without pain, without fear. Let me explain. If you want my blow-by-blow diary from day 1 onward, it lives in this deeper BBL-and-intimacy review.
What “BBL sex” meant for me
Not graphic stuff. I mean warm, safe closeness. Kissing. Holding. Moving slow. Keeping weight off my butt. Protecting my grafts. Keeping my peace. That’s what it meant.
My surgeon said no direct pressure on my butt for the first few weeks. He said 2–6 weeks is normal for most people. I took that to heart. I wore my faja (that tight body suit) and used a BBL pillow for sitting. I kept a wedge pillow by the bed too. I wanted comfort first, always. (I also bookmarked these essential BBL post-op care tips so I could double-check that my routine matched surgeon-approved advice.)
I’m not a doctor, by the way. I’m just a woman who went through it.
For additional creative, body-friendly position ideas during recovery, I found the concise tips at WetLookSex both reassuring and inspiring. One fun shortcut: I gave this sex-position generator a whirl to brainstorm moves that kept pressure off my backside.
Real-life moments (what actually happened)
-
Week 2: We didn’t do much. We watched movies and ate soup. I lay on my side most nights. We laughed when my faja squeaked. It sounded like a tiny balloon. Cute, but also very real.
-
Week 3: We tried a “cuddle night.” No pressure on my butt. I used a wedge pillow (Ebung makes a good one) and hugged a big body pillow. I kept my weight on my thighs and side, not my backside. We set a timer for check-ins. Sounds silly, but it helped me breathe.
-
Week 4: I felt braver. We kept my faja on for support. I made a pillow fort: wedge behind my back, Boppy under my arms, a folded towel under my thighs. My partner handled most of the movement. I focused on slow breathing. If it pinched, we paused. If I felt pressure on my butt, we changed angles. No hero moves—just smart moves.
-
Week 6: Big shift. Less soreness. I could hold positions longer. No sitting on my butt, still. But I could be present, not tense. We used a soft nightlight so I could see my setup and adjust fast. A tiny thing, but it kept me calm.
-
Week 10–12: My body felt more like mine again. I could move with ease. The fear faded. I still picked spots that kept weight on my thighs or side, not my butt. Old habits die hard, but this one was a good habit.
Tools that actually helped me
- BBL pillow: I used LuxeLife for chairs. For bed, it wasn’t great. I liked a firm wedge better.
- Wedge pillow: Ebung or InteVision—great for side-lying support.
- Body pillow: Any long one works. I hugged it like my life depended on it.
- Faja: I wore M&D many nights early on. It held everything in place. Less jiggle, less worry.
- Timer: 10–15 minute check-ins. Listen, then adjust.
- DIY sex machine: Not for the early days, but seeing how others built gentle, hands-free rigs (honest review here) gave us ideas for later, low-pressure play.
What didn’t work (and why)
- Donut cushions: All butt. All pressure. Big no for me.
- Rushing: Every time I rushed, I tensed up. Tension = pain.
- Dark room with no plan: I need to see and adjust. Lights low, not off.
- Silent treatment: If we didn’t talk, I felt fear. Fear made it hurt more than it needed to.
Feelings matter (I didn’t expect that part)
I thought it would be about pain. But it was also about trust. I had a new shape. I felt a little shy. Some days I felt hot. Some days I felt swollen. That’s normal. I told my partner, “I need slow.” He said, “We go slow.” That right there made it work. Reading how someone bonded with a silicone curve in this 90-day Latina-style doll experiment helped me reframe body image, and an eye-opening story about living with a transgender sex doll for three months reminded me that every body—silicone or human—deserves patience.

Simple tips I’d share with a friend
- Ask your surgeon about timing. Get your green light first. (I kept this doctor-written recovery checklist saved on my phone so I could tick off milestones.)
- Pick side-lying or setups that keep pressure off your butt.
- Stack pillows under your thighs, not under your butt.
- Keep the faja on if it helps you feel secure.
- Use a safe word or hand tap to pause fast.
- Keep it short at first. You can build time later.
- If it hurts, stop. Pain isn’t a badge. It’s a message.
- Grab a sex-positive toolkit: The prompts and soft gear in this cozy kit made “talk first, touch later” feel natural.
A quick note on healing and shape
I was scared I’d flatten my results. What helped was this: no direct pressure early on, gentle movement, and being steady with my faja and pillow routine. I also stayed on top of swelling with light walks and water. Small habits add up.
My bottom line
BBL sex—really, BBL intimacy—can be soft, safe, and good. It just needs patience, some pillows, and honest talk. I wouldn’t say it was easy at first. I would say it was worth it.
If I could tell early-me one thing? You’re not broken. You’re healing. Take it slow. You’ll get your groove back, and your body will thank you.
