Why Milli’s Flexible Design Stands Out
The vagina is unique to every person. When at rest, its walls gently touch, which helps it stay flexible and comfortable when penetrated.1 This natural design allows for easy movement and everyday comfort. Milli’s adjustable design works with your body, not against it. Unlike traditional rigid dilators, Milli adapts to you, making it a comfortable and personalized choice.
The Benefits of Gradual Expansion
With Milli, you can take things at your own pace. Traditional dilators often come in fixed sizes, requiring an insertion “jump” to the next largest size when you think you are ready. This may cause stress during dilation sessions.
Milli starts small, at just 15mm, and expands step by step up to 40mm. This range matches the natural size of the vaginal canal, from about 17mm at the opening to around 45mm to the very back of the vagina.1 Milli helps you make progress gently and comfortably.
Milli’s Thoughtful Features
Milli was created with your comfort and progress in mind. Its innovative features include:
- Smooth Silicone Cover: Designed to work gently with the sensitive mucosal lining of the vaginal walls, which plays a critical role in protection and immunity.³
- Small Starting Size: At just 15mm, Milli’s starting size provides an approachable first step, even for beginners.
- Gradual Expansion: Milli’s incremental adjustments from 15mm to 40mm—one millimeter at a time—respect your body’s unique anatomy and progress.
- Optional Vibration: Milli offers a vibration feature, allowing you to choose what feels most supportive during your journey.
Real-Life Comparisons for Peace of Mind
Milli’s size range is designed to feel familiar and reassuring. The smaller sizes are like tampons, while the largest size, 40mm, is close to the average size of a partner. For example, the average erect penis is about 37mm wide4 you’ve avoided preventative health appointments because the pelvic exam and speculum insertion has been extremely painful, Milli can help you prepare. Milli’s thoughtful design enables you to move forward with control.
Breaking the Stigma Around Vaginal Health
Talking about vaginal health can be uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t be. Many people don’t know basic anatomy, which shows the importance of transparent and open conversations (YouGov, 2019).
Milli’s mission is to make talking about and taking care of your health easier. With Milli, you’re not just addressing discomfort; you’re taking charge of your body and feeling more confident.
Did you know?
The resting vagina is “H” shaped. When penetrated, this shape is designed to expand. Vaginas can accommodate tampons, speculums, fingers, a penis, and toys designed for pleasure. Figure 1.
