In Dr Brassards manual it says that you can begin decreasing the amount of times you dilate after one year. I've gone down to dilating 6 times a day and my plan is to go down one day each month until I am down to once a week. I'm wondering about how other Brassard patients did it and if you noticed any loss of depth?

Woah! You've gone down to dilating six times a day? How many times were you dilating per day in the beginning? :o

It's okay. I had three fleeting moments of terror where I wondered if I would be chained to my bed with lube in one hand and a dilator in the other for the end of my days. It's no big deal.
