vaginapagina | Vaginismus and Dilators

Hi all.

I have been talking with a sex specialist about my intense anxiety over penetration.

She has mentioned that she thinks I may be dealing with vaginismus alongside my anxiety and that she thinks using a set of dilators would be beneficial.

Does anyone have experience with vaginal dilation (not necessarily to manage vaginismus, but in general as well)? Any recommendations of where or what set to look into? Any pointers or advice about what to expect?

(There was a thread about this from 2009 in the archive but i wanted to see if anyone had further advice or more recent experience.)

Thanks. ♡
