Using vaginal dilators can be very effective in helping to keep your vagina open and more elastic. This can help reduce pain and discomfort with penetration and sexual intercourse. The length of therapy can vary among people depending on the underlying condition. You can use the dilators for as long as you need to.
In this regard, how long should you keep a dilator in?
You may choose to leave the dilator in place for 10 minutes and practice relaxation techniques. Consider placing a small rolled towel against the inserted dilator so you can more fully relax. Or you might want to move the dilator around to mimic a sexual experience.
Secondly, why would a woman use a dilator? Dilators can be used to keep the vaginal tissues pliable and healthy or to help return the vaginal opening and canal to a size that is functional for the patient’s sexual activity preferences.
