This page and video explains how to use vaginal dilators in detail, but generally, do the following:
a) First, you need to wash your hands and your dilators with mild soap and warm water.
b) Find a quiet, comfortable for your dilator practice.
c) Use a generous amount of water-based lubricant on the dilator and your vagina (or rectum).
d) Select the dilator that you can accommodate and lay down either on your back with your knees bent or on your side with knees bent and a pillow cushioning your knees.
e) Breathe deeply and gently bring the vaginal trainer to your body and insert on exhale.
f) Keep the dilator inserted for 15 minutes or as instructed by your healthcare provider.
g) Repeat this process once or twice per day, progressing to larger sizes are you’re able.
Everyone is different pertaining to how long it takes to get the dilator in on the first time and how long it takes to move to the next size. It’s ok if it doesn’t happen on day 1. Take your time, breathe, and follow the instructions provided with your dilators, as well as the the videos and articles on IntimateRose.com to avoid discomfort.
