This 5‑piece dila­tor set is a dou­ble threat, sooth­ing the front door and "WOW"-ing the back door. Its strengths shine where the sun doesn't.

Sometimes, dila­tors can feel clin­i­cal, but VWELL's InMotion Advanced Wand Set puts the FUN back in pelvic floor function.

Like many dila­tor kits, they range from the size of a fin­ger to the size of an aver­age penis.

But these sim­ple, slim, sleek staves car­ry a secret: the three biggest ones have sev­er­al rows of spin­ning beads in the shaft. In oth­er words, imag­ine the dil­do and dila­tor equiv­a­lent to b‑Vibe's Rimming Plug, but with the beads cov­er­ing more sur­face area.

What does that mean in use?

Effing mag­nets — how do they work? but instead of con­fused, I'm thrilled.

Benefits of using the VWELL InMotion dilator set

In a nut­shell, the InMotion sen­sa­tions are made for:

• Therapeutic effect when used vaginally
• Potentially greater relief and more fun than a stan­dard, sta­tion­ary dilator
• Combining exquis­ite­ly fine sur­face sen­sa­tions when used anally
• An over­all great pack­age when you think of it as a pen­e­tra­tion warmup kit with a lit­tle (or a lot) of something-​something extra

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: while dila­tor sets are usu­al­ly mar­ket­ed for vagi­nal use, I think they're high­ly under­rat­ed for anal use. That's dou­bly true with the VWELL InMotion technology.

We'll dis­cuss both back door and front door usage in this post — includ­ing who would absolute­ly love the VWELL InMotion tech­nol­o­gy and who could take it or leave it.

VWELL InMotion advanced dilator kit measurements

This set was made for begin­ners and for those get­ting used to pen­e­tra­tion again.

But let's get a bit more spe­cif­ic than "finger-​sized to penis-​sized" — here's how the dila­tors ramp up their sizes.

• Step 1 – 0.70" max­i­mum diam­e­ter x 4.15" long
• Step 2 – 0.90" max­i­mum diam­e­ter x 4.75" long
• Step 3 – 1.10" max­i­mum diam­e­ter x 5.35" long 
  • 8 rows of lit­tle twirling beads, start­ing at 1" down from the tip
• Step 4 – 1.30" max­i­mum diam­e­ter x 5.85" long 
  • 5 rows of spin­ning beads, start­ing at 1.5" down from the tip
• Step 5 – 1.50" max­i­mum diam­e­ter x 6.35" long 
  • 5 rows of big­ger spin­ning beads, start­ing at 2" down from the tip
  • By "big­ger," I mean about the size of pop­corn kernels

I can't empha­size this enough: I high­ly encour­age you to start with a small­er size than what you're oth­er­wise used to.

How do these dilators feel vaginally?

Even as some­one used to pen­e­tra­tion, the final step can sur­pris­ing­ly feel like a lot — some­times too much. Steps 3–5 are quite firm, because they need a sta­ble cen­ter for the beads to revolve around, and they're stick-straight.

Intellectually, I under­stand that adding anoth­er angle of move­ment and tis­sue manip­u­la­tion can be super sooth­ing and increase cir­cu­la­tion. Viscerally, though, I'm left think­ing, "Effing mag­nets — how do they work?"

Because, indeed, turn­ing on the motor gives me that "it hurts so good" feel­ing when I press the bead­ed por­tion against the stub­born knot from my left side. It's more effec­tive than just the broad­er phal­lic shape alone.

It doesn't feel like much up front — like I know something's there, but I can't 100% appre­ci­ate the intri­ca­cies of each pearl on the strand. It's more that the effect is:

• Concentrated at very small points
• Cumulative in caress­ing the mus­cles into relaxation
• Breaks apart the "stick­i­ness" that some­times hap­pens with chron­ic tension

Your mileage may vary! Proceed accordingly

When I cum on it, it's more because of a quirk with my own body where that spe­cif­ic mus­cle trig­ger point is super respon­sive — includ­ing to the sen­so­ry input of spin­ning beads and steady, firm pressure.

It's odd­ly over­load­ing to me, hence "it hurts so good." I like the Flex wand a tad more for focused trig­ger point release, while dila­tors were made for 360-​degree stretch.

I can't empha­size the con­text enough: not everyone's going to cum on the VWELL InMotion twirling motor when using them vagi­nal­ly. I would guess that most won't.

However, many reviews on the VWELL web­site rave about the plea­sur­able sen­sa­tions in addi­tion to ther­a­peu­tic main­te­nance. Those with chron­ic ten­sion might respond to it dif­fer­ent­ly (read: more dra­mat­i­cal­ly) than some­one whose default state is more relaxed.

Ready for TMI time?

It's kind of like — and this is a less sexy exam­ple — how my clench­ing is so bad that peri­od blood usu­al­ly just doesn't come out until I will­ing­ly relax, and it's been like that for almost two years. It's not unheard of among peo­ple built like me and with a sim­i­lar trau­ma his­to­ry, even though it's rare in the broad­er population.

So if you're like me and you're frus­trat­ed with how hard it is to find a pelvic floor ther­a­pist who under­stands, say, some­one who's chron­i­cal­ly clenched but strong and lifts heavy, you're not alone.

But also, there is an anatom­i­cal rea­son — at the tis­sue lev­el — why the VWELL InMotion dila­tors feel more sen­sa­tion­al­ly strik­ing when used anally.

Soothing the front door and "WOW"-ing the back door. Its strengths shine where the sun doesn't.

Spinning beads on a dildo for anal use

Think about skim­ming your fin­ger­tip along your palm or oth­er fin­ger­tips, com­pared to on your fore­arm. Or try­ing to read Braille with your elbow. Our fin­gers feel things in high­er res­o­lu­tion due to spe­cial­ized fine-​touch recep­tors called Meissner cor­pus­cles.

Other places with a great con­cen­tra­tion of Meissner cor­pus­cles include the lips, tongue, and yes, the anal open­ing. (Not as many in the vagi­nal opening.)

In plain English: the booty­hole can feel the VWELL InMotion beads revolv­ing, and in greater detail, than the vagi­na can.

It makes sense why the b‑Vibe Rimming Plug was so pop­u­lar — and one of the few anal toys I'd give a "OH FUCK YEAH!" instead of just "It does its job well."

VWELL's InMotion dila­tor set gives you the spin­ning sen­sa­tions in a slim­mer but longer lingam.

b‑Vibe Rimming Plug vs. VWELL InMotion dilators

The Petite ver­sion of b‑Vibe's Rimming Plug has a max­i­mum diam­e­ter of 1.4" and a neck diam­e­ter of 0.9" — mean­ing that to savor the spin­ning, you'd have to get past the thick­est part.

I know some peo­ple are into that size, but the VWELL InMotion Step 3 size is small­er. This dila­tor with spin­ning beads is about 1" across and feels far less intim­i­dat­ing for me. It's not as tapered as the Rimming Plug Petite, but also, the kit comes with small­er dila­tors for warmup, anyway.

That points to some of the trade-​offs VWELL makes to give sim­i­lar sen­sa­tions to the Rimming Plugs, but spread across mul­ti­ple units at a sim­i­lar price:

• They're not as fan­cy in terms of hav­ing vibra­tion or a remote control
• There are few­er set­tings — 6 back-​and-​forth twirling bead options com­pared to b‑Vibe's 7 rim­ming modes and 6 vibrat­ing modes.
• One tapered rim­ming plug vs. two tiny dila­tors and three with spin­ning beads in grad­u­at­ed sizes

Maybe you pre­fer the set-​and-​forget feel of a butt plug, but I enjoy hav­ing more room to thrust the shaft while the pel­lets cir­cle. It's an incred­i­bly rare case where a butt toy on its own can make me cum with­out exter­nal cli­toral contact.

Sensory over­load — but savor every lit­tle shift more. It's also "Effing mag­nets — how do they work?" but instead of con­fused, I'm thrilled.

Again, your mileage may vary, but if you appre­ci­ate tex­tures with your anal toys, VWELL's InMotion set might be a good fit for you.

VWELL InMotion spinning dilator beads vs. my walls

Now for a very (lit­er­al­ly) press­ing ques­tion: can the beads hold up against my walls? Short answer: yes, but only on the high­er set­tings. The first one out of six stalls eas­i­ly, espe­cial­ly when pushed up against the knot that needs to be knead­ed the most.

That's anoth­er rea­son I'd more read­i­ly rec­om­mend the InMotion dila­tor set for gen­er­al, broad pelvic floor ten­sion with vagi­nal use or just for fun with anal use. (It's a lot hard­er for brute booty­hole force to stop the spin­ning than when I'm mash­ing it up against mus­cle AND bone.)

In oth­er words: if you need a more local­ized and deep pres­sure for your vagi­nal walls, con­sid­er the vibrat­ing VWELL Flex wand or the (even firmer) Intimate Rose. I like both the InMotion dila­tor kit and the Flex wand for dif­fer­ent reasons.

My verdict on the VWELL InMotion dilators

I like the VWELL InMotion dila­tors for the front door.

I LOVE them for the back door, where the nerve bun­dles were made to feel every lit­tle shift.

In plain English: the booty­hole can feel the VWELL InMotion beads revolv­ing, and in greater detail, than the vagi­na can.

Using the InMotion beads vagi­nal­ly is ther­a­peu­tic for me, but remem­ber: I don't have vagin­is­mus. I can insert things with lit­tle issue, but it's usu­al­ly the trig­ger points at the sides that both­er me. The VWELL InMotion dila­tors can help me there, but the Flex wand and Intimate Rose are more spe­cial­ized for that.

I would, how­ev­er, rec­om­mend using the InMotion dila­tors vagi­nal­ly to some­one with:

• Broader clench­ing patterns
• Diffuse sore­ness
• Hopes for a sex­u­al debut
• Desire to main­tain tis­sue elas­tic­i­ty through life changes — think per­i­menopause, post-​surgery recov­ery, a neo-​vagina after tran­si­tion­ing from male to female, etc.

This dila­tor kit helps me vagi­nal­ly, but it's not 100% my type. I also wouldn't rec­om­mend it to those who need flex­i­ble or ergonom­ic dila­tors — apart from the first two sizes, these are RIGID.

Using it anal­ly is where I'm actu­al­ly excit­ed and would reach for it recre­ation­al­ly. It does a lot with so lit­tle movement.

b‑Vibe's Rimming Plug shocked me with how it made me cum, but I gift­ed it to a friend because there was too much (men­tal) fric­tion for me to get past the 1.4" max­i­mum diameter.

VWELL's InMotion dila­tor set gives me sim­i­lar sen­sa­tions with small­er size options and poten­tial­ly less warmup. It wasn't adver­tised for anal play, but I think it's splurge­wor­thy if you're explor­ing butt stuff or already know you enjoy rim­ming or fine textures.

If you're unsure, try a light­ly tex­tured butt plug, like the SelfDelve Fly Agaric, or just the tip of a ten­ta­cle dil­do like this one from Fabled Toys.
