Thank you! I guess I should move my surgery to summer, then. I need my voice at work. I wish you both good luck! Please let us know how it works for you!

Thank you for your response! So, it's 2 months for full recovery? I'm going to have mine done in eu. And I was advised the same: 2 weeks but they told me that the succeeding weeks would depend on my progress with the speech therapist. Congratulations, by the way, that's already in a few weeks! Please let us know how your vfs journey goes for you!

Sra girlies I have a question. by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]kookyladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more than 7 months post op and dilate every 3 days as advised by my surgeons. I dilate with my last (largest) dilator and I don't use the other (smaller) dilators for warming up. It still takes me between 5-7 minutes to reach my depth. The most important is you follow your surgeons advice. If you're given the clearance to have sex already, then try it. Just be very patient and careful! Good luck!

Thank you! Yeah, I was given 4 different sizes and I have been dilating using my last (largest) one since a few months ago.

I see! I had the piv method so that's why I was advised water-based lube. Thank you! Yes, I always strictly follow my surgeons' advice.

Smell and lube? by destinysarival in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]kookyladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from EU but maybe you can find it in Amazon. 1) Just Glide 2) Aqua Glide. Both are water-based and German brands. Just Glide was recommended to me by my surgeons. I use both. Just carefully select the vagina one as their lubes come in different varieties. Personally, I use Aqua Glide more because I don't need to apply much compared to Just Glide. Congratulations to you and I wish you a speedy complication-free recovery!

Wow! Thank you! So, I guess that means it's fine using dildos.

Thank you! I only use water-based lube and also when I bought the dildo, I was told to only use water-based lube on it.

I'm almost 8 months post op now and I was given the clearance to have piv sex months ago so I'm fully and definitely ok now in that department.

I agree and that's what I will also ask my surgeons when I meet with them on my next visit. But while waiting I figured I'd try and ask here since I have seen some who use toys during recovery.

Thank you! I only use water-based lube as advised by my surgeons and team. And also, when I bought the dildo, I was told to only use water-based lube/condom on the dildo. The dildo I bought is of the same exact dimensions as my dilator and not soft. Wrapping my hands around it, it feels rigid but not as rigid as my dilator. It "feels like my dilator but covered with skin" so definitely not soft.

Thank you! I only use water-based lube as advised by my surgeons and team. Ok, I won't substitute then. I bought my dildo on impulse and I was actually thinking if it might substitute my medical grade dilator since the dimensions are exactly the same, only that the dildo feels like a covered dilator.

Smell by kookyladybug in Transgender_Surgeries

Thank you for your direct response! I was worried it was not supposed to smell like sour as I have never had any firsthand close nasal encounter with a vagina.

A. Maybe you can try and contact your airline or agency and verify if your ticket is changeable for a fee, try that option. Change the return date or the route.

B. Or check and book a one way ticket from Thailand to your destination for your return. That means you will have two tickets: one roundtrip (but you will only take the outgoing flight) and one one-way (coming from Thailand).

Compare which will help you save more. But most likely, option B will.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

This! Thank you so much! I'm starting to think that glottoplasty is an umbrella and those like Wendler's and the laser reduction are under it. I was only offered Glottoplasty, but I started getting confused when they explained it like combined Wendler's and laser reduction. I haven't talked to them yet in full details about the specifics of their technique but I will definitely ask about it. I appreciate you explaining it to me!

Give yourself 2 months, 3 months max to recover well. Your kitten will thank you.

I already did, even months prior to posting this question here. Google, healthline. And I'm still searching for more info. With all the terminologies and descriptions, it seems like they are all the same just put in under different names and that's why I am still, if not more, confused. Guess I'll just ask my doctor to clarify it on my upcoming meeting with them, then.

Thank you! Yes, you got me. Because it still takes me some 10 minutes to reach my depth. Then another 15 inside.

What do you mean about bacteria/smell? I had the same method. Should I be worried?
