Dialators for Vaginismus

If you've used dialators to treat vaginismus (or really for any medical purpose), what positions and techniques did you find most beneficial?

I use dilators to treat anismus. Vuvatech dilators with gun oil silicone lubricant work the best for me. I lie on my left side and insert them with my right hand. I start with .75" diameter dilator and gradually go up in size - .75", 1", 1.5". When I started I could barely take in a .5" diameter dilator. I think going very slow and consistency is important. I wish you all the best.

This is the first time I've seen anal dilation mentioned for a condition similar to vaginismus. Correcting vaginismus requires patience and perseverance, ideally with the help of a dedicated therapist. It can last six months or more and helps overcome the denial of some inattentive gynecologists.

Years back I knew a girl in her 20s who went to her doctor complaining of anal bleeding & pain when passing a bowel movement. An anal fissure was diagnosed & somehow (whether on prescription or simply purchased from a pharmacy or something I can't recall) she wound up with a set of five or six anal dilators as sometimes seen here ranging from about a 1/2" diameter up to maybe 1 3/4" all maybe 3" long. She told me that starting off even with the smallest caused severe pain at first but over time her condition improved & was eventually 100% cured which took maybe a year. She also confided that she continued to use them after this as she had grown to 'love the stretched & full feeling'. I wonder what happened to her?😞
