Vibrators come in many shapes and sizes
Vibrators for women come in many shapes and sizes. Many of our vaginismus patients have never seen or touched a vibrator, as it is very common for them to feel anxiety when thinking about using a vibrator for the first time. Most vibrators for women are designed to be simple to operate and control and are battery operated or plug-in. Vibrators for women with vaginismus can be a useful aid as it can be used to relax and to explore one’s body and erogenous zones. Vibrators can help women with low libido get “in the mood”.
When using a vibrator in combination with dilation or transitioning to intercourse, it is important to set aside enough time for so that you have the necessary privacy – remember, being comfortable and feeling safe will help relieve any anxiety you may be feeling. It can be helpful to dim the lights, turn on soft music or whatever else you might need to feel sexy or “in the mood”. Give this topic some thought ahead of time and be creative and the rewards will be plentiful.
Become familiar with your body and learn what feels good
Begin with touching your erogenous zones with your hands before using the vibrator. This is a 
good way to get familiar with your body and to learn what will feel good when using the vibrator. Next, test the vibrator using the different speeds on different parts of your body before using the vibrator on your genitals.
As you begin to relax, explore all parts of your body, including the sensitive parts, starting with the vibrator on the lowest speed. Experiment with the different speeds and modes to find what works for you – everyone is different and experimentation can be a lot of fun. Once you are comfortable, you can then begin working towards a clitoral orgasm – again, start out on a gentle speed and pressure while moving the vibrator. It is so important to relax and to enjoy yourself.
Vibrators can also be used for internal stimulation
The Lelo Liv vibrating dilator is an elegant mid-sized vibrator and is perfect for internal stimulation. The Lelo Liv is a very appropriate vibrating dilator for our vaginismus patients. We highly recommend the Lelo Liv because this vibrating dilator allows the vaginal muscles to be stretched while reducing stress and promoting relaxation. To use the Lelo Liv, make sure it is very lubricated, turn the vibrator down to the lowest setting and insert it slowly. Move the vibrator in and out being aware of which sensations you enjoy the most. Many of our vaginismus patients do well combining vibrators with dilation before transitioning to intercourse.
Additional information on the Lelo Liv can be found on our website VaginismusMD. You may also enjoy reading “The Role of the Vibrator for the Vaginismus Patient” which I strongly urge you to read.
