Should I Be Dilating?

Let's dial in some dilator talk. You know what shouldn't be painful?

  • Sex (unless that's what you're into—we won't yuck anybody's yum)
  • Putting in a tampon
  • Getting a pelvic exam

If any of these activities feel uncomfortable, you might be experiencing some tension in your pelvic floor and dilator therapy may be useful for you. Always check with a healthcare professional before beginning a dilation program to rule out any other medical conditions that could be causing the discomfort.
