A dilator is something that expands the diameter of a tube. A dilator may be medical, as with medications that dilate the pupils or the tubes of the lungs. A dilator may also be a medical device, as with the instrument used in D&C.

How do you measure how deep your vagina is?

The depth of the vagina can be measured using a specialized instrument called a vaginal depth dilator. This dilator is gently inserted into the vagina until it reaches the deepest point, and the measurement is taken from the tip of the dilator to the entrance of the vagina. It is important to note that the depth of the vagina can vary among individuals and can also change over time due to factors such as arousal and childbirth. It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for accurate and safe measurements.
