How a Toy Helped Me Enjoy Pain-Free Pleasure/Sex

Checkout Groove

TL;DR:

If you’re a woman who struggles with painful sex, I get it—I’ve been there. After trying everything with no relief, I finally took my gynecologist’s advice and tried Groove, a flexible wand vibrator by MyMuse. It’s been a game-changer for me. I’ve gone from dreading sex to enjoying it and reclaiming my pleasure. If pain has been holding you back, here’s why Groove might be the tool you didn’t know you needed.

For years, I dreaded sex. I wanted to feel close to my partner and actually enjoy intimacy, but every time we tried, it ended in pain. And not just mild discomfort—I’m talking about pain so intense, I was ready to give up on sex altogether. I tried everything to fix it: physical therapy, special exercises, relaxation techniques, even numbing creams. You name it, I tried it. But nothing truly worked, and over time, the frustration and disappointment just kept building. I started to feel broken, like something was wrong with me that couldn’t be fixed.

Eventually, a gynecologist diagnosed me with a mix of endometriosis (which caused my chronic pelvic pain) and vaginismus (where my muscles tightened involuntarily, making penetration painful). It was a relief to finally know what was causing the pain, but honestly, there still weren’t any solutions that felt doable or effective.

Then, during a follow-up, my gynecologist suggested something I’d never thought of before: a vibrator. She explained that certain types of vibrators, especially flexible wands, could help relax tight muscles and make intimacy more comfortable. She gave me a few options and recommended one called Groove by MyMuse—a gentle, flexible wand she thought would be ideal for me because it could be used at my own pace, with minimal pressure. I was desperate and willing to try almost anything at that point, but honestly, I had zero hope it would actually make a difference. Still, I decided to give it a shot.

Getting Started with a Toy: Starting Slow and Being Patient

When Groove arrived, I was still a little skeptical. First, because I had never used a wand toy before, and second, because I honestly didn’t think it would do much for me. If you’re like me and hate loud, cheap designs, you’ll love Groove. It doesn’t look anything like the toys you’d find on shady websites. It wasn’t intimidating or mechanical—it looked simple, something I could manage. It felt premium, super soft, and its discreet design put me at ease.

Groove’s key feature is its angled, flexible, ribbed head, which is designed to provide extra sensations. It can also be used both internally and externally, giving me the freedom to explore what worked best for me.

The first time I used it, I started by focusing on external areas to relax. Be patient with yourself and listen to your body. You don’t need to start using it internally right away—prioritize your comfort. The flexible head made it easy to control, and I could adjust the gentle vibrations until they felt just right. I didn’t feel pressured to rush or “make it work”; instead, I could take it slow and get comfortable at my own pace. Honestly, that sense of control was huge for me. Having the ability to choose what felt good, without forcing anything, was a revelation.

Finally Finding Comfort and Enjoying Pleasure 

After a few weeks of using Groove, I noticed real changes. My body wasn’t automatically tensing up the way it used to, and I started to feel more relaxed. Eventually, I was able to use it internally without the fear and discomfort I’d always associated with penetration. The bendy, flexible head was perfect—it allowed me to move at my own pace, finding comfort I hadn’t thought was possible.

Slowly but surely, Groove helped me release years of built-up tension. It wasn’t just about finding pleasure; it was about reclaiming control over my body and learning that intimacy didn’t have to mean pain.

Why This Simple Tool Made All the Difference

I was lucky enough to order Groove just before it went out of stock, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. I never thought a flexible wand toy could make such a huge difference. But Groove didn’t just ease my pain—it gave me back my confidence and allowed me to approach intimacy with comfort instead of fear.

If you’re dealing with painful sex, I can’t recommend talking to a doctor about options like this enough. For me, Groove was a gentle, empowering tool that finally brought me the relief I’d been searching for, and it changed everything.

This is not much talked about and I am glad finally someone said it. I thought there was something wrong with me.. no amount of gynecs helped until I found my current one. She recommended massagers to ease the process.
