How to Use a Vaginal Dilator?
You may find using a dilator is more comfortable after a hot bath, which makes skin softer and more pliable. The easiest way to insert a dilator into the vagina is to lie down on a bed in a relaxed position, with your knees bent.Much like tampons, some women prefer to insert them whilst standing with one leg on a chair. It is best to use some lubricant such as KY Jelly on the rounded end of the dilator to ensure that it can be applied witout caunsing unnecessary pain or friction.
Gently insert the dilator into your vagina as far as it will go without causing you any discomfort. When inserted, the dilator may feel snug, but should not be painful. Once inserted, keep the dilator in place for as long as your doctor has recommended.
Please note that these instructions are very general. Some parts of the process will vary according to the requirements of different conditions. It is always important to follow the advice of your doctor regarding the use of dilators.
How long does it take for a dilator to work?
Treatment with a dilator does not provide an overnight solution. It will take at least 3 months until any significant vaginal expansion is apparent, and you may need to use a dilator regularly to maintain its effect, even if you are sexually active on a regular basis.See Also: -
