How to use Amielle Care

Amielle® Care vaginal dilators have been designed to reduce your risk of scarring and assist you in keeping your vagina supple. This will help reduce any long term discomfort from follow up examinations, further treatments and sexual intercourse.

How to use your Amielle Care vaginal dilators

Progression – Start with the smallest dilator and, once you can comfortably insert it, progress to the next size up. You may find when you first use the dilators that you can only tolerate the tip of the dilator. With persistent use you will be able to gradually progress to full insertion, then larger sizes. When transitioning sizes, move from the smaller dilator to the next size in the same session, as vaginal muscles will already be relaxed and the transition will be easier. The time it takes to progress from size to size varies by individual.

Inserting your dilator

1. Twist and lock handle onto dilator. Apply lubricating jelly to the tip of the dilator and to your vaginal opening.
2. Relax as best as possible. Using controlled breathing, slowly ease the dilator into the vagina going as deeply as is comfortable. Since the vagina slants upwards and towards your back, the dilator should be angled upwards and in the direction of your back during insertion.
3. Once the dilator is inside the vagina move the dilator in a forward and backward motion, then a left to right motion and if possible, gently rotate the dilator in position by twisting the handle.
4. Remove gently and slowly while rotating.
