    Hello i have been trying to dilate anything wider than 1 inch wont go inside. I am struggling i feel my vaginal enterance is small. Is this possible?
    I wanted o try numbing cream, i used one but it burned like hell when i applied in in vagina it was like someone has set my vagina on fire and it was unbearable i had to wash it. I dont know why this happened maybe the cream is not for internal use?
    Are numbing creams suppose to burn?

    Hi, start with something as small as your fingers and then work your way up. At first, it will feel like this but with time, your muscles will relax.

    Maybe you used some cream that is not for internal use or maybe you are allergic to that cream. You could try using Lidocaine 2%. I used that. It does burn at first and sometimes it’s just because of the muscles.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck
