Everything You Need To Know About Pelvic Floor Dilators

Everything You Need To Know About Pelvic Floor Dilators

We get so many questions about dilators, and honestly, we get it. When people first see them in the clinic, the reaction is usually something like… “Wait, that’s for WHAT?” 😅

But here’s the thing: dilators can be incredibly helpful tools, and they don’t have to feel intimidating or scary. We highly recommend dilators for people with chronic pain from things like endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). We also recommend them for people navigating pain with sex or difficulty tolerating pelvic exams that are needed for medical care.

In this episode, we’re breaking it all down. This is your go to guide for getting started with dilators. We cover:

• how to actually use them

• how to habit stack them into your routine

• tips to make them more comfortable and less painful

• why we sometimes recommend dilators over a wand

• how to build the confidence to start using them
