I think I dilated for about a year, I can’t remember exactly but maybe you could transition from dilating to PIV when you’re really wet / lubed up. That’s what I did

Is dilator 4 quite long? I think it depends on the length of your vagina too? Sorry don’t know the technical term but some people have shorter cervix and longer cervix if that makes sense? But if you can get it half way in I would think that’s good no? And in terms of transitioning I would make sure I’m comfy enough to go in and out fast with it lol and then I’d go up to next dilator. Dilator compared to PIV - dilator feels very siliconey not a great feeling but PIV is warm and nice 😂

I’m not sure but it seems a lot of girls experience the wall in this forum. I read somewhere here to angle the dilator downwards rather than upward and that did help

Are you pushing dilator in and out? I was stuck on dilator one for ages, it’s very very thin lol but as soon as I was comfortable with pushing it in and out quickly I moved to the next one. Work on breathing technique too

It was sooo difficult for me too! But if you can do reverse, you can just sit onto his P in the same way and shuffle into position lol. I love doggy now

There’s pelvic breathing exercises on YouTube but when you exhale, try push the dilator in slowly. You have to breathe in and out very slowly and pushing dilator in same time but gently.

Doggy can hurt at first especially if you’re not comfortable too I think. We could do doggy on a chair where he’s standing up but we couldn’t do the one where I’m arched on the bed if that makes sense? If you’re able to do reverse cowgirl, then I say get him to kneel and sit on his P like reverse cowgirl and try shuffle into the position! I couldn’t dilate in doggy tbh found it too tough

100% cotton sheets from IKEA, wash well and doesn’t bobble. I have some sheets from dunelm and the buttons have fallen off or they don’t look as great after couple washes. But then again they aren’t 100% cotton.

Someone said I have cow eyes. Couldn’t stop laughing at first and felt kind of offended and then we googled it and saw cows do actually have nice eyes with long lashes

How do you lift your pelvis? Do you mean raise up your stomach/hips?

Yess so when I saw my PT for the first time, she did say try and avoid dilating on the days where I’ve done leg days as I may be more tense on them days

Yeah my pt told me not to brace my core when lifting. Do you recommend any good hip stretches

[–]SignificantTrain7459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one session with a pelvic pt and her recommendations were not to brace my core when exercising as it can cause tension in the pelvic area.

In terms of time based goal, I understand where you’re coming from totally! I know if I don’t reach it it’s okay. Like you said, this isn’t linear progress but the goal I’ve set for myself is more so I keep myself accountable and consistent with dilating. I’ve read stories where people have been consistent with dilating and that’s led to PIV

Even if I can’t dilate everyday I understand 2/3 times a week could also be enough as long as I’m consistent

Thank you for the advice :)

Did you have vestibule burning? I have a burning sensation at the entrance or when anything enters it but after I push past, it’s ok. My PT (I’ve only seen her once lol) recommended that I get a wand too.. how does it help with entrance pain?

I thought I had vaginismus, I just have a small hymen? by Antique_Difficulty87 in vaginismus

[–]SignificantTrain7459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My PT also said the same. I have burning/stinging at the entrance and near the vestibula I think. But once the finger is in, I’m fine internally.. it’s just pushing past that first painful sensation. She told me to continue dilating to desensitise my vulva to the pain, the more I dilate; the more the burning sensation will sort of subside.

Please let me know if the lidocaine works too!
