    My question is about dilating and going through the sizes – are you meant to be turned on to put the dilators in, or do you just try to relax and go working up the sizes? I’m not sure what’s best as obviously the last few dilators are huge!

    What have you found to be best?

    Dilating is difficult, especially those last few, bigger dilators. And they are not exciting. It’s best just to be as relaxed as possible. Be consistent, use those dilators every day if possible. And if you can get a size in, go to the size below, and just keeping trying to get the bigger one in a little further each day. Good luck and I hope that helps!
