Sex should never be painful. If it is, intimate training self-care can help.
For young women, involuntary pelvic floor hypertonus (tightness, spasms, tension, painful penetration), irritation, recurrent infections, and vaginal dryness are common causes of intimate discomfort and pain.
Incorporating Aquafit Intimate training into your self-care routine can support pain-free intimacy, in your hands.
2 in 5 young women experience intimate discomfort and painful penetration. You are not alone.
Common underlying causes include:
Pelvic floor hypertonus (vaginismus): Sex can be fun and relaxing, but for some women it brings fear, anxiety, and pelvic floor tension. Vaginismus is an involuntary tightening or spasm of pelvic floor muscles around the vaginal opening, often triggered by attempted penetration. It can make using tampons or menstrual cups painful, pelvic exams uncomfortable, and penetrative sex difficult or impossible.
Microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) and irritation: Changes in vaginal pH from long-term hormonal contraceptives, medications, unprotected sex, or intimate washes can disrupt the microbiome. This can cause irritation, bacterial vaginosis (BV), and recurrent yeast or bacterial infections (vaginitis), with symptoms such as itching, burning, odorous discharge, and painful sex.
Vulvar pain (vulvodynia): Vulvodynia (including vestibulitis) is persistent, often unexplained pain in the vulva and around the vaginal opening. Symptoms can include burning, stinging, soreness, itching, rawness at the entrance, and pain during sex.
Endometriosis: Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often in the pelvis, causing inflammation and pain that can flare with menstrual cycles and hormone shifts. Hormonal treatments may also contribute to vaginal dryness and persistent dysbiosis or BV, which may support lesion growth and worsen discomfort.
Intimate training with Aquafit Intimate Gel Sticks helps you regain control over involuntary pelvic floor hypertonus, so you can break the fear–painful penetration cycle.
Pelvic floor tonus: Build tonus, release tightness, and support pain-free penetration.
Deep hydration: Hydrate sensitive vaginal tissue to relieve dryness, including with long-term hormonal contraceptive use.
Rebalance vaginal pH: Help maintain a mildly acidic pH (3.8–4.5) to relieve irritation (itching, burning, odorous discharge), help prevent BV and recurrent infections, and support healthy flora, especially after antibiotics.
Experiencing vaginismus, dyspareunia, or vaginal pain can be challenging, but it helps to know these conditions can improve a lot, especially when you’re young.
Intimate training can help you overcome fear of pain, reduce spasms and tightness with penetration. In just 5–7 minutes a day, in bed or in the shower, you can regain control of pelvic floor hypertonus.
Be patient with yourself and go at your own pace.
