Tampons = Dilators?

I’m thinking of trying out Dilators.

I can put in a regular sized tampon (although painful to insert and take out) they don’t hurt and can’t feel them once it’s in.

Does a tampon sort of act like a dilator/ can be an indicator that I can use small dilators?

I can have PIV sex, it goes in, it just hurts so bad.

THE BEST ADVICE EVER!

I have been recently diagnosed with Vaginismus!

Putting tampons in has been SO PAINFUL for me for the past two years. I’ve been able to use them on the first and second day of my period for the past year but not without enduring so much pain whilst putting them in and taking them out. Even spending 5 mins just to put one in!

UNTIL NOW!

I saw someone in a comment section of a TikTok say to try and take a deep breath in when putting in a Tampon. I mean the deepest breath in that you can possible take!

IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

The tampon went right in! I was AMAZED!

I tested it out again and yet again it works SO WELL.

Right as you are about to put it in take a MASSIVE BREATH IN and it goes straight in!
This has worked for many others as they replied in the comments!

Please please try this it’s a game changer that I had to share!!!

I cannot live like this

I’m 20 and I honestly think vaginismus is going to ruin my mental health.

I feel so guilty that I am the luckiest girl in the world in terms of everything else in my life. But i’m broken due to something that can’t be fixed. It’s all in my head. It’s embarrassing to talk about with family or friends. My boyfriend is an angel so he understands but he doesn’t deserve this. I don’t understand how this wasn’t an issue 2 years ago. I dont understand how i’ve done this to myself.

Im crying myself to sleep every night terrified that this is going to ruin my relationship one day, ruin my dream of being a mother and having a big family.

My boyfriends friends just got new girlfriends so i know they are talking about their sex lives, and the fact i know hes sat there knowing his is non existent makes me feel sick. especially after it was so great for 2 years.

I have no sex drive at all, my boyfriend is gorgeous, kind, caring, goes to the gym 6 times a week. I feel like it’s just a matter of time before it starts to affect him too.

I’ve also just been rejected from the Gyno Physiotherapist as they don’t have any treatment for vaginimus.

Literally what do i do.

My life is gonna fall apart, i feel so useless, there’s no one i can talk to.

This isn’t fair, and i can’t blame anyone but myself because it’s ’all in my head’

Does anyone have any advice to stop blaming themselves for this because i’m terrified i’m gonna dig myself into a hole that i can’t get out of
