Dilators
General information and recommendations
-
Some clinics and surgeons may provide you with dilators. Before you go and buy your own, check with your surgeon or clinic to see if they provide them.
-
Dr Hart gives you a “Soul Source GRS Pelvic Trainer - Size #P1” (⅞ in / 9 in) and the “Soul Source Silicone Pelvic Trainers - Small Set” (from ½ in / 2 ½ in to 1 in / 4 in).
- While this gives you a start, it is not (in my opinion) adequate for the future if you want to use your vagina.
- I saw the Soul Source “GRS Pelvic Trainers” recommended quite often online, and bought the full set from the #P2 size, up to size #4.
- I do not regret this expense, 292 USD (450 AUD) with 56 USD (86 AUD) shipping.
- I personally recommend the “GRS Pelvic Trainers” set of dilators, and preferred the rigid plastic over silicone dilators. Especially with their curved shape as I feel it better conforms to the internal structure.
- Another reason I bought these was that with these dilators you can also work on vaginal depth at the same time as girth.
- With the initial set you can only do this with the #P1, this was uncomfortable due to its small diameter at the tip.
- With this set I have a maximum of ~6.7 inches of vaginal depth and girth stretching to the 1.5 inch diameter of the #4 dilator.
- I did not like the silicone dilators
- I found them harder to clean and more “grabby” (this grabbiness may be due to the stitches interaction with the dilators not the silicone itself)
- They pick up dust easier
- You can’t work on vaginal depth significantly
- Another reason I bought these was that with these dilators you can also work on vaginal depth at the same time as girth.
- Maddy did not share my experience, and instead recommends the silicone variety. (She has only used the initial set Dr Hart provides).
- She remarks that especially in the early days it was easy to hurt herself with the #P1 as it was quite rigid, and appreciated the provided silicone “Small Set” much more.
- This may be due to the P#1’s small diameter coming to a relatively sharp point, I did not experience this with the larger iterations of the GRS Pelvic Trainer dilator set.
- She was content with the provided set, and is happy with general girth. She finds this girth adequate for masturbation, but has not pursued penetrative sex.
- She remarks that especially in the early days it was easy to hurt herself with the #P1 as it was quite rigid, and appreciated the provided silicone “Small Set” much more.
Other dilators I’ve heard about
- Bien, an Australian company
- Dilators range from 6.5cm (2.56in) length and 1.2cm (0.47in) diameter up to 15cm (5.91in) and 3.72cm (1.46in) diameter.
- Found through my own research, I was looking for a larger dilator than the #4 Soul Source. I tried Bien’s size 8 but it was barely any larger as I think although it is physically larger, it has elasticity where the plastic ones don’t.
- It annoys me that they indent their brand name on the side.
- VWELL, United States shipping only
- Dilators range from 4.15in length and 0.42in diameter up to 6.85 in and 1.50in diameter.
- If I was in the US (or had a friend there) and I wanted silicone dilators, I would buy these.
- Cheaper than Soul Source, Bien, and intimate rose dilators, and comes with 10 incrimental sizes (SS, Bien, & IR have 8)
- Soul source (silcone)
- Dilators range from 2.5in length and 0.5in diameter up to 6 in and 1.625in diameter.
- Intimate Rose
- Dilators range from 2.83in length and 0.45in diameter up to 6.5 in and 1.57in diameter.
- There is one extra dilator, the size 9 which is 1.61/1.75in diameter and 7.52in long.
Other information
- For larger dilators, VWELL has the SuperFit XL Silicone Wand Set .
-This set has three dilators:
- 1.7/1.8in diameter and 7.1in length
- 1.9/2in diameter and 7.4in length
- 2.2/2.3in diameter and 7.6in length
- Or, the Intimate Rose size 9
- 1.61/1.75in diameter and 7.52in long.
- Or, failing those two options, there are a wide variety of dildos available online.
- If you have any specific recommendations, please let me know and I will add them here.
