Medi-Ves 4 Piece Vaginal Dilator Set

The Medi-Ves 4-Piece Vaginal Dilator Set has been clinically designed for women experiencing vaginal discomfort and penetration problems caused by vaginismus, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), gynaecological surgery, lichen sclerosus and childbirth-related trauma.

Used extensively within the NHS to help women experiencing any of these conditions, dilators help to eradicate painful internal discomfort and keep the vaginal muscles supple and free from scarring following radiotherapy, for example.

The Medi-Ves 4-Piece Vaginal Dilator Set Helps to Reduce Painful Scarring, Tightness and Discomfort

The smooth and curved design of these vaginal dilators makes them easy and comfortable to use. For women experiencing any of the aforementioned issues though, we would strongly recommend a water-based lubricant to help move things along and make everything as relaxing and comfortable as possible. They are extremely lightweight which means they are convenient to store and take with you on your travels.

How Do Vaginal Dilators Work?

Dilators work in two ways: physical and psychological. For those whose vaginal walls have become tight due to surgery or radiotherapy, for example, dilators work to gradually stretch the skin back to its normal flexibility. For women who have vaginismus – the debilitating condition whereby a woman unconsciously tightens the walls of the vagina upon the thought or attempt of penetration – dilators work to help the woman control the subconscious urge to tighten up. Over time, she should begin to feel more comfortable with the prospect of intercourse or gynaecological procedures such as a cervical smear test.

We recommend starting small and working up to larger dilators as you progress with your exercises. The pack comes with a twist and lock handle that attaches to the base of each dilator for ease of use and total control over the depth and speed of insertion. The twist and lock handle is incredibly easy to use.

Over time, this continuous penetrative action will help your vagina stay healthy and supple and reduce the risk of scarring following surgery or radiotherapy, as well as helping you become familiar and comfortable with penetration. Many women report that after using vaginal dilators discomfort is considerably reduced during follow up examinations, sexual intercourse and further treatments.

Vaginal Dilation: A Proven Remedy for Lichen Sclerosus

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, whereby the skin around the vagina becomes very itchy and sore; in some cases, the skin will crack and bleed. The opening to the vagina can also start to narrow over time, making gynaecological treatments such as cervical screenings extremely uncomfortable, or impossible – this is especially common for women who are not having penetrative sex and is most common in women over the age of 50 or those who have reached menopause. Lichen sclerosus can negatively impact on intimate relations, as it can make intercourse very painful; using a dilator set ensures the vaginal opening doesn't narrow and allows you to continue enjoying sexual intimacy with your partner. Keeping the vaginal walls supple and open also ensures you keep up to date with essential health checks such as cervical screenings that could detect life-threatening illnesses such as cancer.

The Medi-Ves 4-Piece Vaginal Dilator Set features four seamless and smooth vaginal dilators which graduate in size to provide variation and natural progression in your exercises. They are compatible with any water-based lubricant and each kit of Medi-Ves dilators comes with a twist and lock handle that is compatible with all 4 of the included dilators and full instructions.
