Using gentle pressure, slowly insert the round end of the dilator into your vagina.
- Always insert it straight toward your spine (backbone) or at a slightly downward angle, like you'd insert a tampon.
- Keep inserting the dilator slowly until you feel slight discomfort or muscle tension, then stop. Never use force.
How long does it take for dilators to work?
How long does dilation take? It can take 2 to 15 months to create a functioning vagina. This means the vagina is stretched to a length to have comfortable sex. Stretching the tissue to form a vagina takes less time the more often you dilate.
How far do you insert a dilator?
Lie on your back with your knees bent and legs apart. Insert the rounded end of the dilator into your vagina as far as it will go without causing pain or discomfort. Close your knees and slowly straighten your legs. Keep the dilator in your vagina for about 10 to 15 minutes.
