Why should I use a vibrator?

Stretching Your Vagina

If a woman has had many years of no activity in her vagina after menopause, it has probably decreased in width and in length. The folds in the vagina which allow the vagina to maintain its “accordion effect” may be gone. Intercourse is painful. It is dry. It is not pleasant at all. A vibrator will help to get the blood flowing to the area again. I am not talking about using a vibrator to have an orgasm (which is wonderful and completely ok); I am talking about using the vibrator as physical therapy. It is used to get the blood flowing to the area and to stretch the vagina back out to its previous width and length. I have my patients put some lubricant (or some estrogen cream) on the vibrator. She can put it in the vagina slowly and, with the vibrator on full vibration, just watch TV or a movie and leave it in there for 15 to 30 minutes every other day or so. If the vagina has decreased in width and length, then she can start with a small, thin vibrator and slowly (under her own pressure) stretch out the vagina. It will stretch back out. She can gradually increase to a size that is more appropriate for the size of her partner’s penis. When she is stretching her vagina herself, she is controlling the pressure – not her partner; she can do it at her own pace. This way, she can stretch her vagina without the anxiety that comes with the fear of pain from the perhaps quick insertion or thrusting of the penis. She is controlling everything. A woman can place estrogen vaginal cream on the intimacy aid to use as a lubricant and to stimulate the estrogen receptors. If you start stretching your vagina daily, you will see improvement in the diameter just like going to the gym everyday will increase the size of your muscles. If you also squeeze the muscles in your vagina (Kegel exercises) around the intimacy aid, you will also help these muscles.
