Description
If penetration hurts, or a pelvic exam feels impossible, you are far from alone, and it is not something you have to push through. Graduated dilators are often part of the plan a pelvic floor physical therapist builds with you. The idea is slow, gentle progress from a very small size to larger ones, at your own pace and in private.
What is in the kit
- Eight silicone dilators, sizes 1 to 8.
- Lengths from 2.8 to 6.5 inches (7.1 to 16.5 cm) and widths from 0.45 to 1.5 inches (1.1 to 3.8 cm).
- One handle that attaches to make them easier to hold and guide.
- A water-based personal lubricant, which Intimate Rose describes as FDA-cleared.
- A detailed instruction manual, plus access to the brand’s videos, articles and a private online group.
The dilators are BPA-free silicone with a smooth, non-stick finish. Intimate Rose says a pelvic physical therapist designed the set.
Why a full set
Having all eight sizes means you do not need to guess where you will end up or reorder as you progress. If you only need part of the range, Intimate Rose also sells small, medium and large four-piece sets, which may suit you better. The maker asks you to read its product information or download the instructions before you buy, to be sure the dilators fit your situation.
When not to use them
Intimate Rose says not to use dilators if you are pregnant, have an active pelvic infection, have bleeding nobody has explained yet, have open wounds in or around the vagina, or are on pelvic rest after surgery, a cervical procedure or childbirth. In those cases, check with your clinician first. New pelvic pain, pain with fever, or unusual discharge also needs a medical visit.
Working with a pelvic floor physical therapist alongside a kit like this tends to make a real difference. The free Pain Check-Up can help you prepare for that conversation, and the pelvic, hip and groin pain groups are a supportive place to ask questions.
