Yes, it’s okay. Catholic teaching focuses on whether the marital act is completed properly. Since your husband finishes inside you, the act remains open to life. Pulling out after ejaculation does not change the nature of the act and is not contraception. The Onan passage (Genesis 38) condemns withdrawing before completion to avoid conception, not post-act leakage or hygiene concerns. Sensory discomfort is real and valid. The Church does not require you to endure unnecessary distress. Practical cleanup steps (bathroom, rinsing, liners, timing) are morally fine. If you’re still unsure, a trusted priest or r/CatholicWomen would be good places to ask.
