Doggystyle Pillow: 6 Ways a Wedge Makes Doggy Easier on Her Knees & Back. Here's Exactly Where the Pillow Goes for Each One…

Our first pick, and the easiest way to make doggy restful. She leans on the foam instead of holding herself up.

Where the pillow goes: she kneels at the low end and lays her chest along the slope. Her arms and head rest on the tall end and its small cushion.

Takes the strain off: her wrists and shoulders. No more holding herself up on locked arms.

What he gets: a steady angle that doesn't change when she relaxes onto the foam.

Tip: as sex educator Alicia Sinclair told Cosmopolitan, sex pillows "hold a position for you so you don't have to burn a hundred calories just staying propped up on your elbows." A folded blanket under her knees helps too.

The classic pillow under hips setup for pillow doggystyle. Her hips up, her chest resting.

Where the pillow goes: the tall end under her hips and belly, with the slope running down toward her chest, which rests on the bed. Her knees go wide on either side.

Takes the strain off: her lower back. The foam holds her hips up, so her back doesn't sag or arch too far. And with her hips resting on firm foam, they're less likely to tip to one side.

What he gets: her hips at one steady height, so he isn't chasing the angle.

Tip: knees wider brings her hips down a little; knees closer lifts them. Small changes, big difference.

The pillow doggy setup for his knees.

Where the pillow goes: near the edge of the mattress, tall end under her hips, slope running down toward her chest. She kneels close to the edge.

Takes the strain off: his knees most of all. He stands on the floor instead of kneeling on a soft mattress.

What he gets: firm footing and room to move, with her hips already at a good height.

Tip: this is where the silicone grip base matters. The pillow stays on the bed instead of sliding off the edge.

A small change that gives one knee a rest.

Where the pillow goes: tall end under her hips. She keeps one knee down and brings the other leg forward, bent and resting on the bed.

Takes the strain off: the sore knee. Only one knee takes weight, and she can switch sides.

What he gets: a new angle without changing the setup.

Tip: switch legs halfway through.

Looking for prone bone pillow placement? This is it: she lies flat, and the pillow goes under her hips.

Where the pillow goes: tall end under her hips, with the slope running down under her belly toward her chest. Her legs stay on the bed.

Takes the strain off: everything. Her knees, wrists and back all rest on the bed and the foam.

What he gets: the angle of doggy without her holding anything. One Reddit user wrote, "Short of me just laying down into prone bone nothing really works…" The pillow under her hips is what makes lying flat work.

Tip: he stays low, with his weight on his forearms.

For when her knees have had enough, but nobody wants to stop.

Where the pillow goes: leave it under her hips. She rolls onto her side, and he lies behind her.

Takes the strain off: her knees and wrists, all at once.

What he gets: no stopping to rearrange anything.

Tip: roll slowly, together. The grip base keeps the pillow from sliding as you shift.
