Graduated Anal Plug and Wand Dilation for Smoother Size Transitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods for anal dilation are generally configured as a series of plugs with different diameters that accomplish rectal expansion by the successive insertion of larger diameter dilators.
Innovation Solution
The system comprises a combination of anal plugs and wands with graduated and coordinated girths to achieve sphincter muscle dilation, allowing for easy and comfortable rectal expansion.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional plugs with significantly different diameters are used for successive insertion, then rectal expansion is achieved, but the transition between sizes becomes difficult and uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The dilation system is segmented into multiple plugs with progressively increasing diameters, where each plug represents a manageable step in the dilation process. The diameter difference between successive plugs is controlled to be no more than 1/8 inch, creating fine-grained segments that ease the transition while achieving overall rectal expansion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies parameter changes by carefully controlling the diameter parameter of successive plugs. Instead of large jumps in diameter, each subsequent plug increases the diameter by a small, controlled amount (≤1/8 inch), making the parameter change gradual and comfortable for the user while still achieving the goal of rectal expansion.
2Productivity
If traditional plug shapes with large bulb sections are used, then maximum dilation girth is achieved briefly, but the sphincter must stretch significantly causing discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The plug design applies local quality by creating different diameter sections along the plug length. The bulb section provides localized dilation at the anal opening, while the neck and base sections have smaller diameters for comfortable insertion and wear. This local differentiation allows the sphincter to stretch only where necessary while maintaining comfort during extended wear.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies dynamics by allowing the sphincter muscle to adapt gradually to increasing diameters over time. Users wear plugs for extended periods, allowing the muscle to dynamically adjust and relax to each diameter level before progressing to the next size, making the dilation process more comfortable and sustainable.
3Ease of operation
If plugs with smaller neck girths are used for hands-free wear, then wearability is improved, but dilation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by using the larger-diameter bulb section to perform the initial dilation of the sphincter muscle before the smaller neck section is fully inserted. This preliminary stretching action prepares the sphincter for the smaller wearable section, allowing efficient dilation to be achieved even though the wearable portion has a smaller diameter.
