Hello All!
It is 17 days post-botox procedure for me and I have successfully been able to use the #5 (4 inch) glass dilator. However, for the last week I have been experiencing inflammation every other day. It doesn’t affect my dilating a lot, but it does make dilating a little more difficult because of the tightness it causes; I feel like the inflammation is slowing my dilation progress. I read on one of the forum threads that using an icepack and 1% hydrocortisone cream mixed with lube can help with inflammation; it has helped but I am still experiencing the inflammation. It occurs mostly when I am at work where I am very active and walk around a lot. It causes a feeling of vaginal fullness and discomfort when walking and sitting. I am afraid that once I move up another size dilator the inflammation will occur more often and become even more uncomfortable. Has anybody else experienced this or can provide some advice or additional tips?
