Product Description

The Intimate Rose Vaginal Dilators are intended to be used at home for controlled dilation of the vagina. They help expand, stretch, and relax pelvic floor muscles using 8 progressive sizes to help relieve the symptoms of vaginismus, such as painful intercourse and medical exams.

Indications:

The Intimate Rose Vaginal Dilators are tools intended for controlled dilation of the vagina. They can be used for dilation for an examination (by your doctor), in preparation for a surgical procedure, or to help relieve the symptoms of vaginismus (condition that involves tightening of the vaginal muscles) and related painful sex.

Contraindications:

Do not use if pregnant, consult with your doctor if this is appropriate for you.

  • What is Vaginismus?

    Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles inside the vagina tighten, close up, or spasm. This tightening is associated with painful vaginal sex or painful vaginal penetration of any kind, such as pain with inserting a tampon or undergoing a gynecologic examination.

    You may have vaginismus if you have had any of the following symptoms for at least six months and they cause significant distress:

    • Tightening of the muscles inside the vagina making vaginal sex not possible
    • A presence of pain (also called dyspareunia) or burning when trying to have vaginal sex
    • Not wanting to have vaginal sex because of the pain or expected pain
    • Avoiding vaginal sex because of the expected difficulty due to vaginal tightening and/or spasm
    • Severe fear of vaginal sex or the pain associated with vaginal sex

  • Symptoms Requiring Professional Assessment

    The following symptoms require assessment by a Healthcare Professional prior to purchasing:

    • Abnormal vaginal discharge (fluid/material coming out of vagina), such as a discharge that is thick, white, green or yellow, may have bad odor, or is a change in what the discharge usually looks like.
    • Abnormal uterine bleeding, such as bleeding between monthly periods or when periods are extremely heavy or prolonged.
    • Abnormal skin changes around or inside the vagina, like itching, burning, bumps, or discoloration.

Size Guide

Choosing the right dilator size(s) is important. Our eight progressive sizes allow you to gradually and comfortably progress towards your goal.

Pain with any type of penetration? Start with size 1 (approximately the size of a pinky finger) and work your way up through the Small Dilator Set or until you reach your goal.

Pain with medical exams? In general, if tampon penetration is ok, but exams are painful, size 3 may be appropriate for you, then progressing through the Medium Dilator Set or until you reach your goal.

Pain with intercourse? Consider the Medium Dilator Set for average size penis or Large Dilator Set for larger size penis. Progress through the sizes until you reach your goal.

If You Experience Pain

Once you are able to use the dilator comfortably inside the vagina at 0 or 1 on a pain scale of 0 - 10 (10 being the worst pain imaginable), you will be ready to size up to the next dilator.

If the pain is more than 2 -3 on a scale of 10 when attempting to insert, immediately stop and switch to a smaller size.

If you experience pain with any type of penetration, we recommend starting with size 1 (approximately the size of a pinky finger) and work your way up through the Small Dilator Set or until you reach your goal.

In general, if tampon penetration is ok, but exams are painful, size 3 may be appropriate for you, then progressing through the Medium Dilator Set or until you reach your goal.

If you do not experience pain with exams, but do with intercourse, consider the Medium Dilator Set for average size penis or Large Dilator Set for larger size penis. Progress through the sizes until you reach your goal.

Once you are able to use the dilator comfortably inside the vagina at 0 or 1 on a pain scale of 0 - 10 (10 being the worst pain imaginable), you will be ready to size up to the next dilator.

If the pain is more than 2 -3 on a scale of 10 when attempting to insert, immediately stop and switch to a smaller size.

Is dilator training painful?

Dilator usage should not be painful. On first use, dilator insertion may feel uncomfortable. On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain at all, and 10 is the worst pain imaginable, pain related to dilator use should not go beyond a 2-3.

Stop and use a smaller size if the pain is more than 2 - 3.

you may come back to find it challenging and need to use a smaller size.
