1. What is Vaginal Dilation?

Vaginal dilation is a therapy that involves the use of graduated dilation vaginal kits, to stretch the walls of the vagina and gradually increase their elasticity and flexibility. This treatment is used for vaginismus, a condition where the vaginal walls involuntarily contract when penetrated, making penetration painful or in some cases, impossible. Dilators come in a variety of shapes and sizes, typically with a tapered end that gradually increases in size as you progress from one dilator to the next. Magnetic vaginal dilators by VuVa Dilator Company have been found to be the most comfortable and effective as they have one of the smallest dilators on the market.

By regularly using a vaginal dilation kit, the vaginal muscles become more elastic and relaxation during sex or any other penetration becomes easier. People who use dilators for vaginal dilation can also experience an increased sense of control and confidence during sexual activities. Here are some other benefits of using magentic dilators at home:

3. Five Tips for using Vaginal Dilators

(a) Relax your mind and body: You must be in a relaxed state while using dilators as you can experience pain or discomfort. Take deep breaths and even try drinking a glass of wine before dilation.

(b) Use plenty of lube: It's crucial to use enough lube when working with dilators. Use a good quality water-based lube to prevent friction.

(c) Start small and go slow: Begin with the smallest dilator and gradually work your way up as you adjust to the size and the sensation. Take your time and be patient; your progress will vary depending on the person and any underlying conditions.

(d) Establish a routine: Not only must you start small, but you also need to create a routine that feels safe and comfortable. Start with a short duration, maybe a minute, and gradually build up to longer sessions. The goal should always be slow and consistent progress.

(e) Use Neodymium Magnetic Dilators: When you use magnetic dilators, soft tissue lengthens, relaxing muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the painful area calming nerves. VuVa™ Dilators are the only patented dilators available with Neodymium magnets.
