Warning! This post may be a bit TMI for some 
I tried to have a go at massaging tonight using some perenium massage oil. I tried all different kinds of positions but just couldn't seem to relax properly. When I was able to insert my thumb eventually, I had no idea whether I was doing it correctly. It just felt awkward and useless so I stopped.
I've always been a bit awkward with hands down there. When it comes to masturbation for example, I'd sooner use a vibrator than fingers! I also tend to close up during cervical smears and find them very painful (naturally). Hands seem to be the issue - quite clearly not penis or I wouldn't be pregnant 
Jokes aside, I'm really desperate to give this a go properly and wondered if anyone has ever used a vibrator to do this? Alternatively, if anyone has any tips that would be great?
I don't want my partner to do it. I'd like to try to rekindle our sex life after baby is here and I think something like this would just kill it for us
