I don't know the rules of islam but I do know exploring your body is healthy for you. If you avoid that part of your body it's almost like your ashamed of it.

Your doing it in private, it's not like your sleeping with a few men.

Pleasing yourself is okay! You can't get pregnant!

I suggest exploring your body anyway. It's your body!

Well that just my two cents.

Forget what mudweiser says; she didn't answer as to whether it is allowed in Islam, and she is giving her subjective reasonings, which is not based on objective criteria (i.e. God).

Majority of scholars say it is haram. If you can't control yourself from masturbation, then marriage becomes obliged.

شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله : "وإن احتاج الإنسان إلى النكاح، وخاف العنت بتركة؛ قدمه على الحج الواجب"
"Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: If one is in need of marriage and he fears committing a sin by leaving it, one may give priority to getting married over performing obligatory Pilgrimage." (Shaykh Saleh Al-Fawzan - Al-Mulakhkhas Al-Fiqh - Volume 2 - P. 325).
