F.A.Q
Vaginal dilators help gently stretch the vaginal tissues and relax the pelvic floor muscles. They’re used to reduce pain with penetration, support recovery after surgery, and help with conditions like vaginismus, dyspareunia, and menopause-related dryness.
Yes. Vaginal dilators are safe for home use when used correctly and progressively. Always start with the smallest size and apply a water-based lubricant. If you have concerns, speak to a pelvic health physiotherapist or doctor for guidance.
Everyone’s journey with dilator use is different. Some people may only feel comfortable with a few minutes at a time, while others might work up to 15–20 minutes. Many physiotherapists recommend using a dilator around 3 to 5 times per week, but it’s okay to go at your own pace. What matters most is feeling safe, relaxed, and supported.
No prescription is needed in Australia to purchase vaginal dilators. However, working with a pelvic health physio can help tailor your approach and improve results.
We recommend using a high-quality water-based lubricant that’s free from irritants like parabens or glycerin. Silicone-based lubricants are not recommended with silicone dilators.
A vagina spreader is a term sometimes used to describe devices that gently widen or stretch the vaginal opening. In a therapeutic context, these are more accurately called vaginal dilators, and they are designed for gradual, comfortable use to support pelvic floor health, recovery after surgery or radiation, or to ease discomfort during intimacy. While “vagina spreader” is not a medical term, some people use it when searching for vaginal dilators, so the products in this collection may suit both purposes.
