A dilator set is not only used for anal. These can also be used vaginally to help your pelvic muscles relax if you are experiencing pain due to a medical condition, childbirth, anxiety, or any other reason. It is advertised as purple, but whoever labelled it as purple must not be seeing very clearly, because even in the stock photos you can clearly see that it is pink.

The set comes with 3 attachments, each one a little bigger than the last. The smallest (attached to the handle) measures 3.5″ long and 3/4″ thick , the second one is 4 1/4″ long and 1″ thick, the third one is 5.5″ long and 1 1/4″ thick, and the largest one is 6 1/4″ long and 1 3/4″ thick. The handle is 4″ long so add this to the measurements to get the total length. It comes with a clear bumpy “silicone” sleeve that fits over the larger sizes. I found that the three smaller sizes were reasonable to work with and smooth to insert since there are no seams. The largest attachment however, while it is the same size as a few other toys I have, is still quite daunting and I will admit that I have not tried using it. It also includes a “designer pouch” which is really just a very large (17.5″ long & 10″ across) organza bag with a drawstring top. I am honestly not sure why the bag is so big, you could probably easily fit 3 or 4 dilator sets into it!

ABS plastic, as expected is very firm and does not offer any flexibility at all. Each of the attachments is tapered somewhat at the tip, but keep in mind that since they are not pliable, the above measurements seem bigger than they really are. Plastic does have it’s good qualities since it is hypoallergenic, non-porous, phthalate and latex free, and it is safe to use with silicone, water, or oil based lubricants. The included clear sleeve is stated on the box to be silicone, I am going to throw a guess that this means it is TPE, since I couldn’t find any information on it. TPE is also hypoallergenic, phthalate and latex free, but cannot be sterilized. If you plan to share this sleeve or use it anally, you should use a condom on it. Silicone or water based lubes can be used on this sleeve as well (not oil based).

It takes 2 double A batteries, which fit inside of a clear plastic sleeve that slides into the bottom. You adjust the intensity by turning the dial on the base, and there are no patterns. The vibrations are buzzy, strong, and loud, but they did help me relax and made insertion of the stiff plastic more pleasurable. The silicone sleeve helps dull the vibrations to a certain extent, but make sure to put lube inside of it. It will create a suction and be very hard to remove if you don’t.

When I say more pleasurable, I mean just that. Like I said above, these are an aid and even with the vibrations were really not all that pleasurable for me to use. If you have already tried and enjoyed a rigid vibrator, you may like the versatility of this one. If you are like me and prefer flexible sex toys, you should probably look elsewhere. Overall, this is a good quality dilator if you need something to help your muscles adjust. They did help us out when my husband was here last week, but I will be continuing my search for something made from silicone or another more pliable material.

The Dilator set is waterproof, so can be cleaned under warm water with soap or anti-bacterial toy cleaner, and sterilized with a 10% bleach solution or with alcohol. Make sure the battery compartment is tightly closed while cleaning so that it keeps its seal. I held it underwater and let it float around for a little while and no water got inside, so it is 100% waterproof. The silicone sleeve can be cleaned in the same manner, but not sterilized.
