Spring.19
ParticipantThank you so much for the encouragement! So I tried no 4, 2 days ago during a light flow and started with no 3 to warm up. I was able to insert no 3 the same 3 inches as I have been for the past 15 dilator sessions, so I went ahead and tried no 4 and was able to insert it comfortably 2inches without any twinges. I felt confident! Then I thought I’d go back to no 3 and…it went in further! So now I’m up to 4inches with no 3 which is most of the dilator, same as with 1 and 2. I will now progress with 4 now and work my way up to 4inches with that too. You’re right it is a huge step seeing as 3 is 27mm diam and 4 is 35mm diam but they are working the muscles down there and so I’m not giving up! Daily progress definitely earns you results and well done on your success!

ParticipantThanks for the advice Cathleen. I got my Aunt Flo a few days early and I’m now thinking that maybe what I was trying to push into was my cervix and I was bumping into it, but not sure as this felt spongy/springy and I was assuming it was a band of muscle? Does the cervix sit low when about to menstruate maybe. When I removed the 3 dilator it had a speck of blood on the tip and I assumed it was a tiny bleed due to dilating but then my flow arrived next morning. I will definitely begin with 3 to warm up and then start using 4. How much are the glass Pacik dilators for just one, possibly the no. 6? The entry muscle Pelvic floor, for me no longer spasms and I now consciously move it down and out as I breathe in and out. I will see how the 4 goes.

ParticipantI too am using Femmax dilators since March 9th and progressed with 1 and 2 very quickly but I have only been able to insert 3 about 3 inches in. It is snug but I feel it should go deeper. Did anyone else have this? Femmax have certainly helped to ease anxiety associated with penetration and I’m very positive about reaching the 4th dilator. I’ve also slept with no. 2 a couple of times. My question however is this, is 3 inches enough to be inserted for no. 3 even though I feel there is space for it to go in further? The second one goes in all the way and is very comfortable say 8cm. It feels like a band of muscle in the way and I’m slightly hesitant to push deeper but I really want to get to 4. Is this the introitus muscle or is this too high? DR Pacik’s glass dilators are 3inches length-is that correct? So as long as the muscle which is 2.5cm in is relaxed it should fall in-however this is not the case with no. 3 (27mm diam) probably same as no. 5 glass. I am starting to despair and question if I have succeeded with 3 and I’m now ready for 4 or have I to push past the 3inches I am already in.
