Dilators
Anal, Vaginal & More
Dilators are designed to help the body adjust gradually, giving you more comfort and confidence over time. They can be used step by step, making progress feel manageable and reassuring. To support this, many people also use kegel exercisers to strengthen muscles and build better control. If you’d like to keep options open, our butt plug sets provide different sizes so you can move at a pace that feels right. For something small and discreet, bullet vibrators can add stimulation without being overwhelming. And if you want a more classic choice, our wide range of dildos covers plenty of styles and materials to suit your needs.

Learn More About Dilators
Dilators are designed to help the body adjust gently to penetration. They can support recovery, ease tightness, or help with conditions like vaginismus. Many people also use them for confidence and comfort in their sexual wellbeing. The key is steady progress, not rushing.
Choosing the right size and style
Dilator sets usually start small and move up in size. You use them step by step, going at your own pace. Silicone is the most common choice as it feels soft and warms quickly to the body. Firmer styles can give a stronger sense of progress, which some prefer.
When you feel ready, you might choose to add toys that feel closer to real anatomy. For example, realistic dildos are often the next step once the basics feel easy and comfortable.
Comfort and safety tips
Lubrication is essential. A water-based lube keeps everything smooth and safe with all materials. Always apply plenty and top up if it starts to dry. Slow breathing and a relaxed position can make the process calmer and less tense.
There is no set schedule. Some move through sizes quickly, others take weeks or months. What matters is listening to your body and moving forward only when you feel ready.
Supportive products
You don’t have to use dilators alone. Gentle vibrators can relax muscles and encourage blood flow, making practice more comfortable. For building pelvic strength, love eggs & jiggle balls help tone the muscles that support penetration and control.
Sometimes these products are also part of wider female personal health care, such as after surgery or during menopause. They can support recovery while giving you a sense of control. If a doctor has given you advice, always follow their guidance too.
Care and maintenance
Hygiene is key. Wash each dilator with mild soap and warm water or use a toy cleaner. Let them dry fully before storage. Keep them in a pouch or case so they stay clean between uses.
Sharing is not recommended. If you do, cover with a condom to reduce the risk of infection. Regular cleaning and safe storage mean the products will last longer and always feel reassuring to use.
Building confidence over time
Dilators are not a quick fix, but a tool to build comfort step by step. Over time, they can reduce tension, increase confidence, and make intimacy feel less daunting. Paired with the right lubricant and, if you choose, complementary products, they can be a steady way to improve both physical and emotional comfort.

Dilators FAQs
Most sets come in a range from small to larger sizes. Begin with the smallest that feels comfortable to insert with lubricant, and only move up when you can use the current size without strain.
Short periods of 10–20 minutes are usually enough. Stop if you feel pain, numbness, or discomfort, and never leave one in while sleeping.
Use plenty of water-based lubricant and stay relaxed. Insert slowly, and when you’re ready to remove, ease it out gently rather than pulling quickly.
Dilators are mainly for personal use, but some people feel more comfortable having a partner nearby for support. If sharing, always cover with a condom to reduce the risk of infection.
Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner after each use, then let them dry fully. Store in a pouch or box so they stay hygienic and don’t touch other materials.
Anyone recovering from surgery, experiencing pain or bleeding, or with ongoing medical concerns should get professional guidance first. A clinician can confirm whether dilators are suitable and how best to use them safely.
