Hi Heather34,
I received my glass dilators yesterday, yay. I started out using the number 4 size for 90mins using Pjur basic silicone lubricant. I was able to insert with only a little pain. Last night I slept with it without too many problems. They are a bit painful when changing positions but other than that ok. As others have said, it is hard to keep it in! I wore underpants with a pad to try to keep it in. As I also have vulval dermatitis it makes it tricky as tight fitting underpants and pads make the condition worse. I have noticed that I am different to some of the others on this forum in that it is not the entry muscle but the one inside (about an inch) that is the problem. I have to point the dilator towards my hip to get around the bump and then towards the opposite side once I am past it. I am assuming this is because the muscle is clenching stronger on one side? This was causing the dilator to pinch on the outside because it’s not sitting straight. I will try size 5 today.
