Overcoming Vaginismus

I realised that I had a problem the very first time I tried to have sex. Sure, I was inexperienced, and I knew that my first time wasn’t going to produce a romance rivalling the movies, but this was different. Pain shot through my body with every attempt, fear and nervous anticipation accompanied it, and I could feel that I was uncompromisingly tense. Half a year later I was diagnosed with Vaginismus. For the longest time my partner and I tried various methods of recovery to no avail. It wasn’t until my partner gifted me my first set of dilators that we started making progress. These dilators came with a bottle of Sylk.

Using the dilators produced slow progress, but every milestone mattered, and Sylk was a huge part of my success. Using Sylk allowed me to feel secure, capable and, yes, even comfortable with exploring my body, and made making progress a more manageable and pleasing experience.

In conjunction with my dilators, I dared to experiment with various sex toys, and I also found these to be incredibly helpful. Now, eight years on, I’ve overcome my Vaginismus, and run my own sex toy review blog, Emmeline Peaches Reviews, with the help of my lovely partner. I can honestly say that none of this would have been possible without the help of Sylk.
