Call your doctor or nurse if: ï·ï  You have problems with the dilation.ï·ï  You have bleeding or severe pain when you try dilation or sexual intercourse. ï·ï  You have increased frequency and/or pain upon passing urine.. Wash the vaginal dilator in hot, soapy water and rinse it well before each use.2. Lubricate the dilator with K-Y jelly or any water-based lubricant. This lubricant can also be used for intercourse. Do not use Vaseline to lubricate the dilator.3. Lie on your back with both knees bent and spread your legs apart.
