Missionary
You can't go wrong with missionary; there's a reason it's the most popular sex position. This position lets you sit back, relax, and let your spouse take charge on days when you're cramping. You can place a pillow under your hip to adjust the angle of penetration or try it with your legs in a butterfly yoga stance to make it even more comfortable.
Spooning
What better position to be in during your period than lying down and doing nothing? It's excellent to cuddle. Sex while cuddling, on the other hand, is even better. It's also a contender for one of the best sex positions for menstruation cramps because it's so relaxed. Your partner’s hand can roam freely around your body and caress your breasts.
Doggy
Take a stand and spice up your sex life. This position will not only keep you from getting period pains, but it will also keep you clean. Face the wall with your arms braced up against it, bend forward a little, and let your boyfriend do his thing. You obtain increased clitoral pleasure while keeping your sheets immaculate.

When you want less mess and more tingling this is the one to go for. This is a sex position that gives both parties the most pleasure.

Raise your hips with the assistance of your arms to the desired angle. And, don’t forget to keep a cloth underneath you.
Shower sex
When you're on your period, shower sex is a no-brainer. Cleaning up the soiled sheets after a night of sex during your period is a real pain. The water will rapidly wipe away the mess, allowing your partner to focus on your face rather than worrying if menstrual fluid is getting elsewhere. To make figuring it out a little easier, stand up and face each other.
