Many women suffer from pelvic pain caused by pelvic pain conditions such as vaginosis, vulvodynia or pelvic floor dysfunction. These conditions can make vaginal penetration painful and even impossible. Fortunately, there are various treatments that can help relieve the pain, and one of the most popular is the use of vaginal dilators. Dilators are designed to gradually stretch and relax the vaginal muscles, which can help relieve pain during intercourse or gynecological exams. However, some women may wonder what they can use if they don’t have a dilator or can’t afford one. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why you should really be using vaginal dilators.
Using your fingers:
One of the most common alternatives to dilators is to use your fingers. While it may seem like a convenient and cheap solution, using your fingers to stretch your vagina can actually do more harm than good. Our fingers are not designed for this purpose and we may accidentally cause further damage, irritation or infection by inserting them into the vagina. The fingers may also not be long or wide enough to provide sufficient stretch, so progress may be slower than with expanders. In addition, fingering may be uncomfortable or triggering for some women, especially if they have a history of sexual trauma or pain. So while fingers may seem like an affordable option, they are not recommended.
Use of household items:
Another alternative to dilators that some women may try is using household items such as candles, tampons, or hairbrushes. However, this is very dangerous and can cause serious injury or infection. These items can be difficult to clean and may contain bacteria, fungi or toxins that can damage the vaginal tissue or cause an allergic reaction. Additionally, these items are not designed to be safe or comfortable for vaginal use, so they may be too rough, sharp, or small, leading to tears, abrasions, or bleeding. Using household items to stretch your vagina can have serious consequences.
Why dilators are a better choice:
While it is understandable that some women may struggle to purchase dilators, it is important to note that dilators are the safest and most effective option for vaginal stretching. Expanders are specially designed for this purpose and come in various sizes, shapes and materials to suit different preferences and needs. The dilators are also made of medical grade silicone or plastic, which is easy to clean, smooth and non-toxic so they do not cause damage or irritation to the vaginal tissue. In addition, dilators come with instructions and support from a healthcare provider so you can use them properly and monitor your progress. Finally, dilators can also improve your sexual confidence, intimacy and pleasure, as they can help you relax and prepare for sexual activity with less pain or fear.
Dilators are the best and most recommended option for vaginal stretching and pain relief. While some alternatives may seem tempting or affordable, they can be dangerous and harmful. The VuVa Dilator Company provides affordable options and is a must buy from a reputable company that has been around since 2014. Using dilators can improve your quality of life and sexual health and is worth investing in.
Vaginal dilators have been used in the care plan of patients suffering from pelvic pain conditions for decades. Unfortunately, this safe treatment with usually no side effects is not the first choice presented to women suffering from painful sex. Usually harmful drugs and surgeries are often presented at the beginning of the treatment search. Medicines not only mask the pain, but usually have unsafe side effects.
Pelvic floor physical therapists know the importance of using expanders for their pelvic floor patients. Pelvic Floor PT uses dilator therapy along with manual therapy to help relax your pelvic floor muscles. Vaginal dilators are known to be a relatively safe treatment with real side effects.
VuVa dilators are the only dilators to contain a patented neodymium magnet sleeve. Regular vaginal dilators without magnets are still beneficial, but VuVa magnetic dilators have been shown to work faster in reducing pelvic pain.
So what’s the big difference? What are neodymium magnets?
While most expanders are just pieces of plastic, VuVa expanders contain over 60 magnets in a complete set of five expanders. Neodymium magnets are a member of the rare earth magnet family and are the most powerful permanent magnets in the world. They are also referred to as NdFeB or NIB magnets because they are mainly composed of neodymium (Nd), iron (Fe) and boron (B).
There is a sleeve with many neodymium magnets that are hand placed in the correct direction with the north side of the magnet facing out.
Magnetic Therapy is based on the premise that all living organisms exist in a magnetic field, including the human body. The human body produces its own magnetic field. Therefore, the body can heal itself when the electromagnetic energy is in balance. You may feel a warm sensation when using our magnetic dilators, which is blood flow in the pelvic area.
This safe and positive manipulation of muscle tissue helps increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the bloodstream. This in turn not only speeds up blood circulation, but also means that the muscles now receive adequate oxygen and nutrients, eliminating pain.
What happens when you use VuVa Magnetic Vaginal Dilator?
The soft tissue lengthens, relaxing the muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the painful area calming the nerves. VuVa™ Magnetic Vaginal Dilators are the only patented dilators available with neodymium magnets.
The “North Pole” of a neodymium magnet is often referred to by medical researchers as the “therapeutic side” of the magnet. The VuVa™ Vaginal Dilator Set contains over sixty strategically placed neodymium magnets that allow this soothing energy field to flow through the body.
Iron is a component of our content in our blood, and each ion – or atom – contained in our cells carries oxygen and produces an electrical impulse. These two elements make up our own electric magnetic field.
This means that when the negative north side of a magnet is placed next to a painful area, it draws fresh oxygenated blood to the surrounding nerves and muscles. This, in contrast, is a positive energy field. The positive energy field creates two effects: as the magnets are alkaline, it neutralizes any acidity in the body caused by disease, and the fresh blood helps remove any acidity from the body, which, in turn, accelerates healing while reduces pain.
