Each size is approx 1/2" larger in diameter than the previous size. I would prefer smaller increments. Otherwise, the material is nice and the items work well.

I bought this set in 2019 to help make penetrative sex and gynecological exams more comfortable and less anxiety-inducing. These have worked very well for me and I am happy I purchased them! The transition between sizes was doable. I was able to work up to using the largest size after several months of irregular use. These are high quality and I recommend them. However, I have to agree with the other reviewers who mentioned how uncomfortable the 'Intimate Rose' lettering on the side is, even when using lube!

The product quality is good including the water-based lubricant. However, the size change between dilators is inconsistent and too severe in the case of the darker blue (diameter 1.07") and the next up aqua (diameter 1.3"). I was fine with the darker blue and then went to the aqua and the pain was severe. I spoke to my physical therapist about this and she agreed and steered me to another brand with gradual size increases. I wrote to the support email at Intimate Rose about this and never heard back. They need to provide a size in between the 1.07" and 1.30" as the jump is too big for a gradual stretch. Also, the size increments are inconsistent; for example, the diameter size goes up only 0.05" between size 4 and 5, but goes up 0.23" between size 6 to 7 (darker blue to aqua). Wish I would have known all this earlier as I had to spend money on in-between sizes from another provider. If I had known, I wouldn't have spent the money for the large size box of 4 units. Intimate Rose should address this.

These are all they claim to be although the largest is not large enough. I needed the real thing to do the last stretches.

I was raped the first time I had sex. Since then, I've had an incredibly difficult time relaxing when trying to have sex. I always used lube, but I would still chafe and bleed. I had to stop my partner halfway through because it hurt so badly. It was to the point where I didn't want to have sex because I knew I would just keep hurting. I talked to my OBGYN and she recommended I try using dilators.

I figured it would be best for me to start with large pack because I always used Super Plus tampons growing up, and I could easily fit 2-3 fingers inside myself. With the large kit, it took me about four months to get up to the largest size, but I can now comfortably use it if (1) I'm in the right headspace and (2) if I have lube. I use the dilators once a day for approx 20 minutes.

I had sex with a partner a couple of weeks ago, and this was the first time in my life I didn't bleed or have to stop. It was still slightly painful for me (even with lube), but it was insignificant enough that we had sex multiple times. Prior to using these dilators, I never would have dreamed that possible. It's still a work in progress, but I would absolutely recommend these dilators to anyone in a similar situation.

Logistics: The box is discreet and shipping is discreet. The dilators look very "clinical" in the sense that they're not gaudy or you wouldn't instinctively associate them with a sex toy. I always put lube on the dilators, they feel fine upon insertion. The logo is etched onto the side of the dilators - personally, I couldn't feel the logo at all while using them. The dilators are flexible, which is good. They move to fit in all the right spots inside your body. In terms of sizing, I also wish there was a size between #11 and #12, that would have made the transition a bit easier. However, it is still doable to jump between the two.
