What is vaginal tightening?

Vaginal tightening refers to any method used to tighten the vagina, which can lose muscle tone and become lax after childbirth or the menopause or due to age. Most women find they have no issues with the size, lubrication or elasticity of their vagina post-childbirth or as they get older. But for others, problems such as sexual dysfunction, vaginal atrophy, vaginal laxity, painful intercourse and stress incontinence can have a negative impact on their quality of life. To rectify this, there are a number of vaginal rejuvenation treatments available, all of which claim to tighten the vagina as part of the rejuvenation. These treatments range from creams and pills, to laser or radiofrequency treatment, or even surgery. However, not all of them deliver the benefits they claim to, so we’ve taken a closer look at the options available and the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment.

What are the benefits of vaginal tightening?

Vaginal rejuvenation has many benefits, one of which is tightening the vagina. It can also help:

• improve symptoms of vaginal atrophy (when the vaginal walls become thinner, drier and inflamed)
• reduce vaginal dryness
• treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
• improve lubrication
• reduce the number of recurrent infections such as bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• improve vaginal laxity
• increase sexual pleasure

Women can benefit from vaginal rejuvenation at different stages of their lives. For some women, having a baby can mean their vagina is not as tight as it was pre-birth. Others may find they experience stress incontinence issues due to a weak pelvic floor. Women who are going through the menopause may experience genitourinary syndrome of menopause, which can have a negative impact on their quality of life. Symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause include:

• vaginal dryness or irritation
• pain with intercourse
• urinary problems

Certain vaginal tightening techniques, such as laser treatment, can actually increase the vagina’s natural lubrication, making intercourse more pleasurable.

How to tighten the vagina: treatment options

Treatment options for vaginal tightening include the following:

• Non-invasive creams—however, these are unregulated and haven’t undergone medical trials
• Non-invasive laser treatment
• Surgery—this can take up to six weeks to fully recover from

The options for vaginal tightening are listed below:

Laser treatment

Vaginal laser treatments, such as FemiLift, are non-surgical procedures that use energy, delivered via a wand or probe, that’s inserted into the vagina to gently heat the vaginal tissue. Heating the vaginal tissue creates painless micro-tears in the vaginal walls. These stimulate the body to produce more collagen and elastin fibres, which improve lubrication and restore the strength and elasticity of the vaginal walls. Although laser rejuvenation has been proven to work, it’s important to note that it doesn’t actually tighten the muscles of the vagina. Instead, laser treatment works by improving the lubrication, strength and elasticity of the vaginal walls, which can make the vagina feel tighter. We have an entire section of our website dedicated to everything you need to know about FemiLift treatment and similar laser technology such as yag laser energy and radiofrequency energy.

Surgery

Surgery (known as a vaginoplasty procedure) is sometimes used to repair trauma to the vagina as a result of childbirth—for example, to repair a badly torn perineal muscle. However, an elective vaginoplasty (also known as a ‘designer vagina’, or vaginal tightening or rejuvenation surgery) is an option for some women who want to narrow, and therefore tighten, their vaginal canal to restore the vagina’s tightness and sensation. There’s an important distinction between vaginoplasty and labiaplasty—often the terms are used interchangeably but labiaplasty is surgery to reduce the size of the labia and doesn’t affect the vagina. A vaginoplasty procedure is major surgery, performed under general anaesthetic.

The risks of vaginal tightening surgery

Vaginoplasty can take up to six weeks to recover from and has associated risks such as:

• scarring
• loss of sensation
• bleeding
• infection
• skin necrosis (skin death)

The results of vaginal tightening surgery

Vaginoplasty results in a tighter vaginal canal, which can help eliminate problems such as stress incontinence and increase sexual satisfaction.

Creams, gels and pills

Vaginal tightening gels, creams and pills focus solely on tightening the vaginal walls, rather than relieving the symptoms of associated issues such as stress urinary incontinence. Vaginal tightening creams and pills are usually sold via the internet and haven’t been approved by any medical body. Medicine that has been approved and is proven to work has gone through rigorous testing and is regulated, meaning it can only be sold through a pharmacy or via prescription. As well as potentially wasting money on a product that’s highly unlikely to work, applying an unregulated tightening gel or cream to your vagina could cause you to suffer an infection or an allergic reaction to the ingredients.

Home remedies

Approach any natural or home remedies for tightening the vaginal walls with caution. Remedies such as putting cider vinegar, witch hazel or turmeric in or around the vagina aren’t proven treatments for vaginal tightening. In fact, they could cause further problems, such as upsetting the delicate balance of bacteria in the vagina.

Exercise

Vaginal tightening exercise is a bit of a misnomer as you can’t actually tighten your vagina canal through physical activity. Instead, these exercises tighten the pelvic floor muscles—a sling-shaped muscle that supports the pelvic organs, including the vagina. Having strong pelvic floor muscles can help prevent problems such as stress urinary incontinence and can even improve sensitivity during sexual intercourse. Medical practitioners recommend women do regular sets of kegel exercises during pregnancy and after childbirth to help tighten their pelvic floor muscles. However, they can be done during any stage of life to tone the pelvic floor muscles. If you have laser treatment to tighten your vagina, your practitioner will advise you to do Kegel exercises to help maintain the results.

What’s the best option?

This will depend on your needs. However, it’s wise to avoid treatments such as home remedies or creams and gels, as they’re extremely unlikely to have any benefits and could even cause you to suffer irritation, an infection or an allergic reaction. Surgery is only really required for extreme cases where the vagina has been damaged—for example, due to complications in childbirth. For most women looking for vaginal rejuvenation, laser treatment, exercise or both are the best options.

Does vaginal tightening work?

It depends on the treatment. Laser vaginal rejuvenation, such as FemiLift, has been proven to work for many women. Indeed, studies and reports have shown that it’s effective at tightening the vaginal tissue and enhancing natural lubrication and pleasure during sexual intercourse. We’ve had high levels of patient satisfaction from women who’ve had Vaginal Tightening treatment at our clinic. Treatments such as tightening gels, creams, pills and natural remedies aren’t regulated or tested and haven’t been proven to work. It’s highly unlikely that trying these will have any positive results. Exercise can help improve the tone of the pelvic floor muscles but will have no effect on the muscles in the vaginal wall. The only treatment that will have drastic, long-term results is a vaginoplasty procedure. However, this is very expensive, carries a high risk compared to laser treatment, and can take up to six weeks to recover from.
