Other Uses For The Femmax® Dilator / Trainer - MDTi FEMMAX Mode D'emploi

7. OTHER USES FOR THE FEMMAX DILATOR I TRAINER
The Femmax vaginal dilators can also be used during psychosexual therapy (sexual
difficulties/vaginismus), by women with Lichen Sclerosus, Vulval Lichen Planus,
dyspareunia, vulvodynia, vulvar vestibulitis, menopause, vaginal atrophy, after female
gender reassignment surgery and for strengthening the pelvic floor, as advised by a
clinician.
7a. HOW TO USE YOUR TRAINERS/DILATORS
1. Use the trainers in a place that is comfortable and ensures your privacy.
2. The recommended position to use the trainers is to lie flat on your back with
your knees bent and legs slightly apart. Alternatively stand with one leg raised
on a chair.
3. Starting with the smallest trainer, apply the lubricant around the tip of the trainer
and a small amount to your vaginal opening.
4. Controlling your breathing, relaxing as much as possible gently ease the trainer
into your vagina as deeply as is comfortable and leave it in position for up to 5
minutes.
5. You may find when you begin using the trainers that you can only tolerate the
tip of the trainer inside your vagina. This is perfectly normal.
6. This sequence should be repeated daily.
7. When you feel comfortable with using the smallest trainer, gradually move to the
next size and so on.
8. There is no time limit on the time it takes to progress to each new size. It is
advised that when you can comfortably insert the smallest size trainer, change
to the next size in the same session, as your vaginal muscles will already be
relaxed and you will find it easier to progress to the next size.
9. This also applies as you progress to the other sizes. When you feel comfortable
with inserting the larger trainers you may be ready to attempt penetrative sexual
intercourse.
