frequent complaint at a doctor’s appointment has to do with painful sensations during penetrative sex (when a penis penetrates a vagina) as a result of complicated childbirth involving episiotomy or ruptures. The solutions varied from complete abandonment of love life to saying "Ok, I'll hold it". However, from the rehabilitation doctor's point of view, the solution is simple: sex toys!

A nice option is Cici, a vibrator by Svakom.

Cici is:

– a very thin vibrator, is sure to slip in smoothly even after serious injury;

– a flexible tip especially appreciated by G-spot stimulation lovers (to be honest, I have been unable to fully appreciate this particular option as it is both unavailable and irrelevant for me);

– 5 vibration patterns and 5 levels of intensity (it took me some time to understand how to handle the controls but I am not much of a technical person. For rehabilitation sake, you can start with the lowest intensity and here you have a massaging vibrator);

– a rather comfortable device, silent enough to be used in a room you share with sleeping kids, its noise won't awake them;

– a waterproof device, definitely worth taking to bathroom in case your kids are restless sleepers. A lovely bonus;

– ergonomic design, handy, it has a single control button that makes the toy

– very easy to use, you won't get confused if while using it you suddenly feel like changing the mode;

– a flexible tip and comfortable curve suitable for most women;

– a nice surface made of velvet-like medical silicone.

Sounds fine but… How can this toy benefit me, what are the ways of using it?

You can test it yourself if you are not ready to delegate the control to your partner. Thanks to the toy's thin shell and vibration you will be able to eventually get your pelvic muscles relaxed enough to get rid of the anxiety related to penetration. Anyway, having sex through the pain won't work.

After that (or right away), you can pass the toy on to your partner. Let it be a perineum's massage session with a pleasant follow-up. Using the toy, your partner has a chance to figure out which angle is preferred (and which is not) for penetration in the vagina.

The toy serves for clitoral and labia stimulation. The vibration is strong enough, so if you are highly sensitive you should better use the toy through clothing.

Conclusion: Cici is an excellent, good-quality, inexpensive vibrator. It suits women of any vaginal anatomy. And it is especially useful for women after traumatic childbirth: it is small, flexible, waterproof and it vibrates!

If you feel awkward about putting the toy into your sex practice and you are not sure if your partner welcomes it, you can dare to say: this is an after-birth rehabilitation technique! Doctor's orders. And it is naught but truth. Besides, once you boost your creativity, any toy can turn to be lots of joy for her, for him, or both.
