How to Use Your Dilation Support 3 Kit: A Simple Guide to Gentle Dilation Therapy
Wearable vaginal dilators are designed to gently stretch and relax the vaginal muscles while allowing limited, gentle movement. They are commonly used to support pelvic floor therapy, post-surgical recovery, vaginal tightness, pain with penetration, and conditions such as vaginismus.
This guide explains how to clean, insert, wear, and progress safely using a 5-piece wearable vaginal dilator set.
Step 1: Clean the Wearable Dilators Before Use
Cleaning is essential to protect sensitive vaginal tissue and prevent infection.
1. Spray each dilator with an antibacterial toy cleaner.
2. Leave the cleaner on for the recommended time (usually 1–2 minutes).
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
4. Pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Store in a clean, dry place.
Always clean before and after every use.
Step 2: Apply Lubricant
Lubrication is essential for comfort and safety when using vaginal dilators.
1. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the dilator.
2. Apply a small amount to the vaginal opening as well.
Avoid silicone-based lubricants, as they may damage the material of the dilators.
Step 3: Choose the Correct Dilator Size
With a wearable dilator set, gradual progression is especially important.
• Always begin with the smallest dilator, even if it feels very small.
• Wearable dilators should feel secure but not tight
• Only move to the next size when the current size feels comfortable and no longer causes tension or pain.
Progressing too quickly can cause discomfort or muscle guarding.
Step 4: Insert the Wearable Dilator Gently
1. Find a comfortable position such as lying down or semi-reclined.
2. Hold the lubricated dilator at the vaginal opening.
3. Gently insert, angling slightly toward the lower back.
4. Insert fully so it sits comfortably and securely inside.
You should feel gentle pressure, not pain.
Step 5: Begin Wearing the Dilator
Once inserted:
• Start by wearing the dilator while lying down or seated
• Focus on slow, deep breathing
• Allow the pelvic muscles to relax around the dilator
Initial wear time:
• Start with 10–15 minutes
As comfort improves:
• Gradually increase wear time to 30–60 minutes
Step 6: Gentle Movement While Wearing
Wearable dilators are designed for light activity only.
You may:
• Sit, stand, or walk gently
• Perform light household tasks
Avoid:
• Exercise or vigorous movement
• Bending, squatting, or lifting
• Any activity that causes discomfort
If discomfort occurs, remove the dilator.
Step 7: Progressing Through the 5 Sizes
Progress only when:
• The current size feels comfortable
• The dilator stays in place without discomfort
• Muscles remain relaxed during wear
Each size may be used for several sessions or weeks. There is no set timeline.
Step 8: What You Should and Should Not Feel
You should feel:
• Gentle stretching or pressure
• Increased awareness and relaxation
• Improved comfort over time
You should NOT:
• Feel pain, burning, or sharp discomfort
• Experience numbness or pressure pain
• Push or strain
Stop use if pain occurs.
Step 9: Remove and Clean After Use
1. Gently remove the dilator.
2. Clean with antibacterial toy cleaner.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
4. Pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Store in a clean storage pouch or container.
