What is vaginismus and what should I do if I have it?
Vaginismus is when the pelvic floor muscles around the vagina involuntarily contract, usually in response to attempts at penetration. This can make inserting tampons, getting a pelvic exam, and having penetrative sex difficult—or even impossible in some cases.
Vaginismus might show itself with difficulty or pain during initial penetration (tampons, a finger/sex toy/penis, or speculum exam), with the focus of the pain around the entrance of the vagina. It may feel like you're hitting a wall and can't insert anything further.

What customers say about Kiwi for vaginismus:
"I have been living with vaginismus, tearing, and discomfort for over a decade and tried so many dilators and lots of physical therapy but nothing had the impact Kiwi had.
As for the tearing and entry pain, this tool has helped specifically target areas that I can barely touch myself without pain... If you struggle with entry pain or tearing this is will be your best friend and so worth it!"
