Laura Berman's Dilator set features:
  • 4 sizes of plastic dilators (TPS) with interlocking sleeves for custom girth selection
  • a multi-speed vibrating handle and shaft (uses 2 x AA batteries, not included)
  • Size 1 comes integrated into the handle, the next 3 sizes slot over eachother and lock into place onto the handle
  • Each dilator has a rounded end, gently tapering out to maximum width by approx 1cm up shaft
  • A soft knobbly outer sleeve (TPR) fits over the size 3 dilator to give increased sensation and texture
Dilators are generally used:
  • After clinical treatments known to cause adhesions (soft tissue fusion) within the vagina such as after any surgical proceedures, a vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy, radiotherapy or after childbirth.
  • To reduce spasms/clamping of pelvic floor muscles and to retrain vaginal muscles to relax (e.g. in cases of vaginismus; painful intercourse; or following childbirth).
  • To help stretch scarring caused from stitiches after birth or with vulval skin conditions such as lichen sclerosis.
  • To assist in overcoming psychological trauma associated with sexual intercourse.
  • By women who have pain with sex, caused by other reasons.

A typical dilator program involves inserting a dilator that is comfortable yet applies some vaginal pressure/stretch.  Dilators can be used daily (for approx. 10 mins) while doing relaxation techniques. After this a self stretching program and scar tissue massage can be performed. The goal is to insert the largest size dilator that you need to accomodate (usually the size of your husbands/partners penis) with no pain, stress response, fear/anxiety or embarrassment. Dilators can be used in the bath and cleaned with warm soapy water.

A personalised program cannot be offered on this website. Please seek the advice of your pelvic floor Physiotherapist if you are seeing one. Or please Contact Us if you have any questions. I am happy to give advice and guide you in your decision.
A high quality lubricant is recommended to use with the dilators - we recommend any of the lubricants sold in this store.
