Vibrators for Vaginal Health? The Surprising Truth!

Can a vibrator improve vaginal and sexual health? Yes.

Let’s talk about it.

A healthy functioning vagina is critical for women’s sexual health.

Any hormonal changes like during menopause or postpartum can wreak havoc on vaginal and sexual health. 

Plummeting estrogen levels in menopause affect vaginal tone and interfere with the vagina’s ability to make adequate lubrication for comfortable intercourse.

As the postmenopausal vagina atrophies, it becomes thinner, drier, and shorter.

Therefore, poor vaginal tone can contribute to urinary incontinence. 

Besides making sure your hormone levels are balanced, you can improve vaginal tone through a sexual wellness routine. Direct stimulation to the vaginal tissue can help to improve elasticity, increase collagen production to improve vaginal muscle tone and improve circulation which can enhance orgasmic potential. Practicing a sexual wellness routine a few times a week can improve vaginal atrophy, dryness, low libido, low body confidence and stress. 

Did you know that women need 20 – 40 minutes of arousal for proper blood flow? What’s really good at increasing blood flow? Vibration. Yes, even pelvic floor physical therapists incorporate vibrators in therapy and recommend the regular use of personal massagers at home to improve vaginal tone. 

In other words, it’s time we stop thinking about these devices as ‘toys’. Like reading glasses as we age, personal massagers are necessary. 

Stimulation can be done with a partner, be sure to use adequate lubrication, stimulation can also be done alone using your fingers, although it is difficult to increase vaginal tone without a personal massager. Using a well-designed vibrator can allow fuller penetration to enhance circulation and exercise vaginal muscles. 

Recently I was asked to review a vaginal health tool –
The Nuri Wand

This ergonomically designed tool has a heating element to it that has been shown to increase circulation in the vagina. This vaginal health tool simulates the function of a dilator and has multiple vibration settings to help stimulate vaginal musculature and improve tone.

The features of the Nuri Wand include:

• Dilator shape to promote vaginal length, width, and tone
• Warming system to stimulate blood flow
• Quiet & discreet with 5 vibration speeds to help you figure out what you like 
• Soft, smooth, and made with 100% medical-grade silicone, waterproof
• Designed and recommended by clinicians 

This particular device is very easy to use solo as it has a well-designed ergonomic handle, but it also can be used with a partner, as it’s small and flat enough to provide clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

Utilizing a vibrator at least three times a week can help to improve vaginal tone, improve orgasmic potential, and decrease urinary incontinence. 

Let’s commit to making sexual health part of our routine – like exercise and meditation.
