Helping you put vaginismus in the past, for good
I have been struggling with vaginismus now for over two years. Originally, I did not know that this was what it was. I did not have a name for it and I kind of just felt helpless. This year I decided to get to the bottom of it. I was taken for test after test, …
I know you get lots of messages but I think you also remember me and our consultation (which I always hold in my heart). I just wanted to let you know that I have progressed so much in the last weeks. It’s like my mind made a 180 degree turn. From not being able to …
I started seeing my current partner when I was 18 (I am now 24) and before this I had never had any sexual experiences… So I didn’t yet realize that I had vaginismus. There were signs – for example never being able to use tampons and never feeling comfortable with exploring my own body in …
I just want to say talking with you during our consultation was the beginning of a shift for me. I’m on to the biggest dilator of the original set I bought which is one of the hard plastic ones so not the easiest. I know I’ve a way to go with this one but I …
I shared my journey with you about vaginismus not too long ago… Well, I just wanted to say that I finally had pain free sex! Just about a month ago it was so hard and painful to put a tampon in and I felt unworthy afterwards. I felt like I was less and I felt …
I always had the feeling that I am late in my life. I was one of the last girls who got their period, my body started to grow when everybody else was already dressed up “girly” and sexy. I had the impression that I was quite invisible for the majority of boys. My school classes were …
I’m 41. I found out I had vaginismus when I was 22, on my wedding night with my first husband. I went through many doctors who didn’t know what was wrong with me… A hymenectomy because one doctor thought that a thick hymen was my problem, acupuncture, biofeedback, herbs, numbing creams, anxiety meds, kegels, dilators, the …
I am someone who has never used a tampon or had any vaginal checkups before my marriage. I got married in 2017 and had a very painful experience when I and my husband tried for PIV sex for the first time. It was very painful during penetration and penetration was almost impossible. I told my mom …
For weeks I have never had the courage to really face the fight against vaginismus. I had bought dilators a few weeks ago but didn’t plan on using time any time soon. But then I took a social media break and focused on myself for some time. I have followed Katrin’s Instagram account (@pain.free.and.intimate) for …
Thanks for being willing to be vulnerable and share about your problem in order to help other women like me. I loved how easy it was to read your book. It only took me a couple of hours to finish it! The cover is discreet enough with the lovely flower on it. You included some …
