How to Use Your Vibrating Dilation Support Kit: A Simple Guide to Gentle Vibrating Dilation Therapy
Vibrating vaginal dilators are designed to gently stretch and relax the vaginal muscles while using vibration to help reduce muscle tension and discomfort. They are commonly used for pelvic floor therapy, pain with penetration, post-surgical recovery, vaginal tightness, menopause-related changes, and conditions such as vaginismus.
This guide explains how to clean, prepare, insert, use vibration safely, and progress using a 5-piece vibrating vaginal dilator set.
Step 1: Clean the Vibrating Dilators Before Use
Proper cleaning protects sensitive tissue and electronic components.
1. Ensure the dilator is powered off.
2. Spray the dilator with an antibacterial toy cleaner (do not submerge unless specified as waterproof).
3. Leave cleaner on for the recommended time (usually 1–2 minutes).
4. Rinse gently with warm water, avoiding charging port.
5. Pat dry with a clean towel.
6. Store in a clean, dry place.
Always clean before and after every use.
Step 2: Charge or Insert Batteries
Before first use:
• Fully charge the dilator
• Ensure the vibration functions correctly before insertion
Never use a vibrating dilator while charging.
Step 3: Apply Lubricant
Adequate lubrication is essential for comfort and safety.
1. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the dilator.
2. Apply a small amount to the vaginal opening.
Avoid silicone-based lubricants.
Step 4: Choose the Correct Starting Size
With a 5-piece set:
• Always begin with the smallest dilator
• The goal is relaxation, not stretching quickly
• Progress slowly through the sizes
Never skip sizes.
Step 5: Find a Comfortable Position
Choose a relaxed position:
• Lying on your back with knees bent
• Lying on your side
• Semi-reclined with pillows
Take slow, deep breaths to help relax the pelvic muscles.
Step 6: Insert the Dilator Gently (Without Vibration)
1. Hold the lubricated dilator at the vaginal opening.
2. Gently insert, angling slightly toward the lower back.
3. Insert only as far as feels comfortable.
4. Do not force insertion.
Insert without vibration first to allow the body to adjust.
Step 7: Activate Vibration for Muscle Relaxation
Once the dilator is comfortably inserted:
1. Turn on the vibration using the lowest setting.
2. Allow the vibration to gently relax the surrounding muscles.
3. Focus on slow, deep breathing.
4. Hold the dilator in place without pushing.
Vibration should feel soothing, not overwhelming.
Session length:
• Start with 5–10 minutes
• Gradually increase to 10–15 minutes as tolerated
Step 8: Progressing Through Sizes and Vibration Levels
Progress only when:
• Insertion feels comfortable
• Muscles remain relaxed
• Vibration does not cause discomfort
You may:
• Increase vibration intensity gradually if comfortable
• Move to the next dilator size only when ready
There is no required timeline.
Step 9: What You Should and Should Not Feel
You should feel:
• Gentle pressure or stretching
• Soothing vibration
• Gradual muscle relaxation
You should NOT:
• Feel sharp, burning, or stabbing pain
• Experience numbness or discomfort from vibration
• Hold your breath or tense other muscles
Stop use if pain or discomfort occurs.
Step 10: Remove and Clean After Use
1. Turn off the vibration.
2. Gently remove the dilator.
3. Clean with antibacterial toy cleaner.
4. Rinse with warm water.
5. Pat dry with a clean towel.
6. Store safely once fully dry.
How Long Until Results?
With regular use:
• Muscle relaxation may improve within weeks
• Discomfort during insertion may reduce over time
• Progression to larger sizes becomes easier
Consistency is more important than intensity.
Signs Therapy Is Working
• Reduced vaginal tension
• Easier insertion
• Improved tolerance to vibration
• Increased comfort with larger sizes
Key Safety Tips
• Always start vibration on the lowest setting
• Use lubricant every time
• Start with the smallest size
• Never force insertion
• Clean before and after each use
• Stop if pain occurs
