Dilator, vaginal

Vaginal dilators are smooth, tube-shaped devices made from body-safe, food-grade medical silicone that are used after guidance from a qualified health professional to gently support stretching, mobilisation, and desensitisation of the pelvic floor muscles and vulvo-vaginal tissues . Dilators are prescribed to assist in managing conditions such as painful intercourse, vulvodynia, vaginismus, or difficulty with penetration, and are also used in post-operative care following pelvic surgery, including to help maintain vaginal length, width, and tissue flexibility after gender-affirming vaginoplasty with depth .
