Best Sex Positions With a Sex Wedge

A sex wedge is a simple piece of foam, but the positions it unlocks are genuinely different from anything you can do on a flat surface. The reason is physics: pelvic tilt changes the angle of penetration, the depth of reach, and which muscle groups are engaged during each position. A few inches of elevation under the right body part transforms familiar positions into something new. Here are the best positions to start with.

Missionary With Wedge Under Hips

This is the most popular wedge configuration for good reason. Place the wedge under the receiving partner’s lower back and hips, thin edge pointing toward the feet. The pelvis tilts upward, changing the angle of penetration from roughly horizontal to angled — the result is deeper reach and more consistent contact with the front wall of the vagina.

For couples where penetration has always felt shallow or where certain angles consistently miss, this simple adjustment often solves the problem immediately. The bottom partner can lie completely relaxed without holding any position. The top partner finds the angle significantly easier to maintain.

Doggy Style With Wedge Under Hips

In standard doggy style, the receiving partner holds themselves up on knees and hands — tiring, and it puts all control of angle with the penetrating partner. With the wedge under the receiving partner’s hips, they can relax their torso down to the bed while their hips stay elevated. This creates a natural angle without physical strain, and the position can be held comfortably for much longer.

The depth of penetration in this configuration is significant — this isn’t subtle. Couples who enjoy the depth of rear entry but find standard doggy style physically exhausting find this version transformative.

Oral Sex With Wedge Under Hips

When the receiving partner lies with the wedge under their lower back, their hips are elevated and their thighs naturally fall open. For the giving partner, this eliminates the head-angle strain that makes extended oral sex uncomfortable. Better access, less neck strain, and a more comfortable position for both people means better focus on the experience rather than the mechanics.

Reverse Cowgirl With Wedge Under Partner’s Hips

The lying partner with the wedge under their hips creates an elevated platform for the partner on top. In reverse cowgirl specifically, the angled surface gives the top partner more stable leverage and changes the angle of contact compared to a flat surface. Small elevation makes a significant difference in which sensations are amplified.

Ramp-Assisted Rear Entry

If you have the ramp as well as the wedge, the receiving partner can lie chest-down on the ramp with hips elevated at the high end. This creates a full-body inclined angle for rear-entry positions without either partner needing to hold or maintain the position. Both people can focus entirely on the experience rather than the physical effort of maintaining the angle.

Spooning With Wedge Between Knees

In side-lying positions, placing the wedge between the receiving partner’s knees elevates the upper leg and creates a more accessible angle for side-entry penetration. This position is particularly popular for pregnant women, people with hip issues, and couples who want intimate contact without full body weight on either partner.
