This is so embarrasing but I started Blissel estriol gel last night and could'nt get the applicator inside me despite putting lubrication on it. It only went in about half an inch and then all the gel came back out.   I have'nt had sex for over 20 years so I feel as though I have closed up and the burning/soreness is not helping.   The applicator is not that big but I tried to find a narrower one online but can't find one.   Is there anyone who has had this problem and have managed to overcome it some way or another.
Thank you.

Use your finger tip with lots of the product on and ease in as far as is comfy.   Lay down so that gravity doesn't discharge the VA treatment.  Dilators  can also be useful, lots of lubrication on the end and ease in gently.  U R not alone!

Nowt should be taboo or embarrassing on here ;-).

Thank you for your reply. Will try the finger tonight. I've got to get some relief from this burning/soreness

U may need to put a little in morning and evening until you can insert higher up.  Make sure that the vulval area is also smeared with the product, I use 'ovestin' or KY Jelly for that.  Stops my vulva/vagina become dry and sore.

Thank you for advise

Yes dilators would help in the long term. Be gentle and take your time and try and relax!

Hi,

this is very common. You can improve things very slowly using vaginal dilators. The ones that the NHS use are hard and not very nice to use. The best ones are silicone and soft. Inspire make them.  You start with the smallest one ( with a bit of yes to help it go in ) and just relax. Never force anything.  You can buy  ones from stress no more. They are not cheap , but help keep the channels open as it were. I have put the link below .
