i started dilator therapy in march and was able to get through the first two sizes easily, but have been struggling with the third for weeks. i was finally able to insert it without pain at the end of a long session, but i'm not confident moving on to the fourth size will go well. sometimes i see posts on here of people being able to blow through a whole 8 size set in just a few months and it makes me feel like i'm doing something wrong.

what have some of you found to be the average time it takes you to move to the next size? are there any factors that help/hinder your progress?

hi everyone, i've been lurking here for a while but this is my first time posting. i started pt about a month ago after a disastrous gyno visit. i've been using bliss dilators and am up to the third size out of eight, but my period is coming up in the next couple days and i'm terrified of taking a week off because i don't want to lose my progress.

has anyone here tried dilating on their period? if so, did you notice any extra tightness? i have really bad period pain so i'm a bit worried that might hinder my ability to relax. please let me know what has worked for you all.
