Using Dilators

Submitted by ljane on Mon, 06/11/2006 - 15:23. Sex Problems for Women

I hope someone can answer this for me, I've been using dilators for vaginismus. I've gone through from the smallest and am trying to go from the third dilator to the next (the largest), but this one hurts like hell when I insert it (stinging sensation and pain ). When using the others I had some discomfort and stretching but nothing like this. Is this normal ? , should I persevere as so far using the kit has seemed to work (had a smear last week and it didnt hurt as much as it used to).

thanks in advance for any answere etc

Use condoms

This is not unusual, as the leap from number 3 to number 4 can sometimes seem very big.
You can make it easier if you layer condoms on the number 3 to make it thicker, rather than going for the number 4. It graduates the change gently for you.
Don't give up, persevere and you will get there. The burning pain is most likely just the muscle spasm of vaginismus, but you are right that it signifies the number 4 is too big for you as yet.

Hi many thanks for you suggestion of using condoms, I tried it and it seems to work, i added them to the third size dilator one at a time untill i felt i was being stretched a little ( the same sort of feeling i got when from one size to the next ).
