Reply To: What to do when dilators are not available in your country?

Persevere, thanks so much for sharing your story and what worked for you! It’s so disappointing that dilators aren’t more widely available to the women who need them in countries like Pakistan when they should really be considered a medical tool and available. But you make such a great point – at root, the concept is in using increasingly large objects to stretch your muscles and become increasingly comfortable with penetration. A person could start with something as small as a Q-tip if they weren’t able to get dilators, and I’m so glad you were able to find a method of success that could work for other women as well. How often did you have to work with each object before moving up to the next size? Did you ever struggle to find the right in-between size?
