A vaginal dilator is a medical tool used in gynecological and pelvic floor therapy to help treat various conditions affecting the vaginal canal. These devices are typically smooth, graduated cylinders or tubes made from medical-grade materials like silicone or plastic.

​

Vaginal dilators are used to treat vaginismus (involuntary muscle spasms that make penetration difficult or painful), vaginal stenosis (narrowing of the vaginal canal), and dyspareunia (painful intercourse). They're also used in post-surgical recovery after procedures like vaginal reconstruction, radiation therapy for gynecological cancers, or gender-affirming surgeries.
