Optimal Timing&Usage

Vaginal dilation is a crucial step in maintaining depth and elasticity after gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Proper timing and frequency not only enhance the effectiveness of dilation but also make the process smoother and more comfortable, and stress-free. Following expert medical recommendations ensures the best possible experience and long-term success.


When to Use REBLOOM?

For optimal comfort and results, use REBLOOM when your body is most relaxed and in a peaceful, distraction-free environment. This helps minimize discomfort and improves adaptation.

● After a warm bath or shower – Heat relaxes pelvic muscles, making insertion easier and more comfortable.

● Before bedtime – A calm and private setting allows for better focus, reducing tension during dilation.

● After pelvic floor relaxation exercises – Deep breathing or gentle stretching can alleviate muscle tightness and enhance ease of use.

● Establishing a consistent routine – A structured schedule trains your body to adjust naturally, reducing anxiety and promoting long-term success.

During the initial recovery phase, frequent dilation is necessary to support vaginal tissue adaptation. Over time, the frequency can be gradually reduced for ongoing maintenance.

Recommended Dilation Frequency

According to U.S. medical guidelines, dilation should be performed multiple times per day during the first year following surgery, then gradually reduced to once weekly as long-term maintenance.

Regular dilation is essential to prevent vaginal shrinkage or closure. However, every individual’s needs are different, and frequency should be personalized based on medical guidance. Always consult your doctor to create a dilation plan that aligns with your recovery progress.

How Long Should Each Dilation Session Last?

Most medical professionals recommend keeping the dilator inserted for 15 to 20 minutes per session, allowing vaginal tissue to gradually adapt.

● If you experience discomfort – Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body adjusts.

● Avoid rushing the process – Forcing dilation too quickly or applying excessive pressure can cause pain or tissue damage.

● If discomfort persists – Consult your doctor to ensure your dilation method and frequency are appropriate for your healing progress.

Key Principles for Effective Dilation

● Consistency is key – A stable dilation routine ensures optimal results and prevents complications.

● Relaxation promotes success – Choosing a time when your body is most at ease enhances comfort and effectiveness.

● Follow expert medical advice – Every recovery process is unique; adjusting frequency and intensity based on professional recommendations is crucial.


By using REBLOOM at the right time and frequency, you can enhance comfort, improve results, and maintain long-term vaginal health. With a structured, patient-centered approach, dilation becomes a smooth, stress-free, and empowering part of your recovery journey.
