Dr. Laura Berman Alena — Set of 3 Silicone Vaginal Dilators

The Alena set is ideal for anyone beginning their dilator therapy journey, including people with vaginismus, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), vulvodynia, or pelvic floor dysfunction. If you're new to dilators and prefer a non-vibrating option, this set is perfect. The non-vibrating design makes it particularly suitable for people who may find vibration distracting, overwhelming, or uncomfortable. It's also excellent if you want to focus on mindfulness and body awareness during therapy, many people find the simplicity of non-vibrating dilators helps them tune into their body's signals and progress at their own pace. The graduated sizes mean you can start small and build confidence as you progress. The Alena set is also suitable for people who want a gentle introduction to dilator therapy before investing in more expensive options. It's equally effective for ongoing therapy, many people continue using non-vibrating dilators exclusively because they prefer them. We always recommend consulting with your pelvic health physiotherapist to determine the best approach for your individual situation.

Start by creating a calm, comfortable environment where you won't be interrupted. Apply water-based lubricant generously to both the smallest dilator and your vaginal opening. Position yourself comfortably, many people prefer lying down with pillows supporting their legs. Take several slow, deep breaths to relax your pelvic floor; remember that anxiety and tension make insertion harder. Gently insert the smallest dilator at whatever depth feels comfortable, you don't need to insert it fully. Once inserted, leave it in place for 10-15 minutes while you breathe deeply and focus on relaxing your pelvic floor. Some people find it helpful to listen to calming music or a guided relaxation track. When you're ready, gently remove the dilator. Use the smallest size regularly, perhaps 3-5 times per week, until it feels completely comfortable and easy. Then gradually progress to the next size over weeks or months. There's no rush; progression is about building confidence and relaxation, not speed. Many physiotherapists recommend keeping a simple log of your progress.

The Alena dilators are made from medical-grade silicone, which is non-porous, durable, and designed for safe internal use. After each use, wash them with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can also use a toy cleaner specifically designed for silicone if you prefer. Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the silicone. The dilators are fully submersible, so you can soak them briefly in warm water if needed. Store them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade silicone over time. A discreet pouch or container works well for storage. The medical-grade silicone is phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and compatible with water-based lubricants. Avoid silicone-based lubes, as they can damage the silicone material. With proper care, your Alena dilators will last for many years and remain safe and effective.
