I appreciate that very informative post! And that link. I’ll check it out. So glad you are doing so well with the alternate cream. I am so glad you mentioned the proper application method. It makes sense.

I look forward to trying out these ideas. I’m apprehensive, but know it will be worth it. I’ve bought some lubricant, but it’s water based and I’ve since read here that it dries too fast and silicone is better…..but, I can try both.

@celia16 I like silicone too but it's messier. There are some products that are hybrid water-based and silicone-based. You can find Sliquid on their website and I believe it's also sold through Amazon. I first purchased this product at the Mayo store as it was recommended by the nurse educator. It's a trial and error as you'll want to find what works best for you. On the advice of my radiation oncologist nurse I use KY Jelly as a lubricant with my dilator. Silicone-based products are not recommended and the other water-based products dry out too quickly.

Any other advice you'd like to share will be so appreciated here. I'm so glad you are doing well with the methods that you have chosen.
