A typical dilator program involves inserting a dilator that is comfortable yet applies some vaginal pressure/stretch. Dilators can be used daily (for approx. 10 mins) while doing relaxation techniques. After this a self stretching program and scar tissue massage can be performed. The goal is to insert the largest size dilator that you need to accomodate (usually the size of your husbands/partners penis) with no pain, stress response, fear/anxiety or embarrassment. Dilators can be used in the bath and cleaned with warm soapy water.
