So, I don't know if anyone else noticed this before (although, I doubt I'm the only one who's ever noticed), but if you stand up and dilate you have more depth. Well, I do at least. I measured. I noticed this months ago, but I thought I'd mention it.
I also noticed that if you're going up a size it hurts less.
I'm not beyond the biggest dilator size Brassard gives, 'cause I got a big purple squishy toy for my toy collection (found out that it's bigger once out of the package). I like the squishiness of the toy 'cause I can really exercise my muscles. At first, of course, it was a tiny bit painful to go beyond what I'm used to, but after the first couple of minites it was lots of fun. Anyway...
Oh, speaking of that, I also noticed that there's more depth when you're turned on.
Not sure why with standing up and being turned on you have more depth and less pain and, yeah, it does feel good. I've also found other positions do change the depth, so it must be the position and how your muscles are in that position. IE, if you're strattled you get more depth, like standing up.
Anyway, I thought I'd share this in case anyone was wondering. I ran into the standing up dilation thing while dilating in the shower before work one day several months ago.
