Thanks Kiki,

I wish I had of come across it earlier as well, as now I only have a week or 2 to 3 at the most to go. It says to put it in 2/3rds of the way, but I have just about been putting in the whole thing and blowing it up. So far I have only got to 7cm each time after about five days of use, and I have only left it in 10 minutes.

When it comes to pushing it out, b/c it is up further I really have to push really hard and kind of pant to get it out, then it slips out and I get that sting around the entrance of the vagina and perenium as I imagine it does feel.

Do you think it is more worthwhile to have it inserted in less, like you do, so it is the entrance and the perenium that is getting stretched more? I find that this mean there is less of that feeling of anal pressure and a greater feeling of stinging if I do this, and you are right, if you do it that way you literally have to hold it in place the whole time, or it will come out on its own.

Maybe I will up my sessions to 10 minutes of each method.

Also, I thought that they recommended only using it in the last 3 weeks becuase the hormones that stretch the vagina and surrounds are at their peak at this time, but if you managed to use it so early, then it must be doable.

As you can see I am getting so close to my due date now and really desperate to ensure that I am as prepared as possible!

Thanks for your input, will take it on board.

Renaee - ps, still keen to hear of anyone elses experiences.
