The following information may help if you have been asking yourself, “Do I need a small dilator?”

The smallest dilator for sale is a brand new dilator in our collection. At only 4 inches long, .375 inches wide and with a very slim circumference of 1.17 inches, you will find this easier to accommodate than any other. This size is perfect for women who need to take it very slowly with dilator therapy (for example, those with vaginal pain conditions or vaginismus).

Our size 1 dilator is made from medical grade BPA-free plastic. It comes with a full set of instructions, a travel pouch in case you need to dilate when away from home, and some Slippery Stuff Lubricant samples, since most women find it easier to insert dilators with lubricant.

What conditions do dilators help with?

Vaginal Dilators are designed to help a range of conditions, including the following:

• Vulvodynia
• Vaginismus
• Vaginal atrophy
• Vulvar vestibulitis
• Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
• Vaginal stenosis
• Post radiation and cancer treatments
• Gender reassignment surgery
• MRKH surgery/Vaginal agenesis

Dilators offer so many benefits, which is why they are one of the go-to recommendations for pelvic floor physical therapists and sexual health practitioners.

They can improve comfort levels to that intercourse is much more pleasurable and even painless. Where scarring or adhesions are present, or the vagina has tightened or shortened (from menopause, surgery or radiation), they can restore the birth canal capacity. Dilators train the vaginal muscles to relax so that you can easily insert tampons or have gynecological exams.

They can retrain the mind-body connection to desensitize nerves, thus relieving pain. Likewise, dilators encourage blood flow to the area, which in turn aids the natural production of lubrication. In the case of vaginismus, regular dilator use can reduce the tendency for muscles to spasm, thus prepare you for penetration. After radiotherapy treatment, dilators can prevent the development of adhesions and fibrosis.
