Massage the inner perineal area with the tip of the thumb and the outer perineal area with the fingers in circular movements, lightly at first and then with gradually increasing pressure. Insert the thumb into the vagina, breathe out, and stretch the tissue down and out towards the anus. A slight pull should be felt, but no pain. Use three to four times a week for five to ten minutes.
