By Claudia Tanner For Mailonline. The flexibility of the vagina is impressive — it can stretch to accommodate a penis as well as rather large babies. But can sex have an effect? It's a question that's been debated repeatedly over the years. And if so, is it permanent? Now gynecologists have set the record straight: and the answer is yes and no. An exception is however, the very first time you have sex as this will cause a change in the size of the vagina. The vaginal wall can also stretch if you have sex with men with different-sized penises, according to the New York-based board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist.

Renowned birthing coach, author, and founder of The Gentle Birth Method, Dr Gowri Motha, shares the amazingly simple and intelligent way of pre-stretching your vagina for the gentle release of your baby. The pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina are elastic and can stretch and tighten. Certain events can lead to changes in vaginal tension, and this includes childbirth. Vaginal stretching can also ensure that the vagina and perineum remain intact following childbirth.

Even though vaginal dilators have been around for decades, they still elicit lots of attention and a few quizzical looks even from healthcare professionals whenever we display our wares at medical conferences. They are a set of tubes that gradually increase in diameter from about a half-inch to about an inch and a half. They are usually made of high-quality plastic, but may also be made of silicone, which gives them a softer, more flesh-like quality. Both types are washable with soap and water. Since some vaginal conditions might require additional treatment, such as localized estrogen or muscle relaxants, you should always discuss any vaginal pain or change in your ability to have sex with your doctor, as well as how you might benefit from using dilators. I recommend any of these sets. Choose the features and sizes that appeal to you. The first set that we found and offered remains a favorite. The silicone kit is firm yet flexible with a softer touch. Be aware that silicone lubes will degrade the surface of these dilators, so use them only with water-based lubricants.
