I've been doing internal work just using my fingers but I'm wanting to try a 7" wand but having problems sourcing one in the UK. The two we link to regularly on these threads are US based Amazon items and they don't ship them to the UK (I've tried).
Sooo... has anyone managed to source a suitable wand in the UK and could you give me the link?
Cheers
Richard.

Yeah I've been finding the same problem myself. So would be interested to hear solutions. I did think of asking some of you guys over in the states if you could buy one (we would pay you via. pay pal or something) and then ship it over?
The only one in the UK I could find that may be ok is this one: http://www.sexshop365.co.uk/catalog/pro ... ts_id=3170

That one actually looks pretty good. Decent length, hard material and the right shape of head.
Got to say I never thought I'd ever find myself typing that last sentence!

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

I know Bill Taylor in Scotland provides them for paitents .
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me

Thanks Graeme. If the one I've ordered isn't up to much then I'll give Bill a phone.
Must be over 2 years now since I've seen Bill - might book a session with him into the new year.

He gets a lot of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome patients so just say you suffer from chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome and make sure you ask for an appointment with Bill. chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome initial sessions tend to last a lot longer (i.e. could end up being a couple hours).graeme wrote:I may go and see him after xmas myself when contacting him how do you word it to the office girl likely to answer the phone ?
