Question:
Hi Dr. I just recently gotten out of a monogamous relationship and the main reason was a sex issue. I'm used to having sex with men who have bigger penis' and my partner is used to having sex with women who have smaller vaginas. He says that my vagina is too big and the sensation wasn't there. I have had 4 children and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to "tighten up" my vagina. This is the second time this has happened to me. I would really appreciate your help. Thank You!!

Yes, there is something you can do. Having had four children vaginally definitely can cause your vagina to become less tight but it does not have to be the end of a satisfying sex life. I would suggest for you to do some vaginal exercises using a vaginal muscle exerciser. There are several brands on the market; however, I am most familiar with the Gyneflex and you can read more about this specific product on the website www.GyneFlex.com. The GyneFlex is made out of plastic and comes in three resitances (light, regular, and firm). You apply lubricant and insert the relatively small device into your vagina and then contract you muscles surrounding the vagina, squeezing the device. Just like doing Kegel exercises but against a resistance, which will train and strengthen the muscles to a much greater extend. Two different resistance GyneFlex cost about $38 (not including shipping and handling) and they comes with a small bottle of lubricant and an excellent guidebook about female anatomy, detailed instructions about how to do the exercises, an exercise plan and helpful hints. Besides tightening post delivery vaginal stretching, vaginal exercises with such a device also may reduce age related vaginal weakening, help urinary incontinence and improve sexual response. Effects do not happen overnight and you should allow daily exercises for about three weeks before you may notice a difference.
Good luck!
