The Natural Birthing Company’s ‘Down Below’ Perineal massage oil has been designed by practising midwives who recognise the benefits of perineal massage. Used twice daily a massage with 'Down Below' will help the skin to stretch. This unique, beautiful blend of natural oils contains rosehip and evening primrose oils, both rich in omega oils & fatty acids, helps to increase the elasticity of your perineal muscles. Research shows that massaging the perineal area from 34 weeks of pregnancy can help reduce the risk of tearing during labour and scaring post birth.With key ingredients such as calendula oil and rosehip oil ‘Down Below’ Perineal Massage oil is also beneficial for dry, irritated, itchy skin and can be used to condition and moisturise your skin and growing bump throughout pregnancy. It can also help to prevent stretchmarks on bum, tum and thighs during and after pregnancy . It comes with an hygienic pipette dispenser so there is no mess and is fragrance free, nut free and allergen free.
Perineal massage is the massaging of the perineum to prepare it to soften and stretch more easily during birth, reducing the risk of tearing or needing an episiotomy. This involves partial insertion of the thumbs into the opening of the vagina and sweeping the perineum. The perineum is the area of skin and underlying muscles between the vagina and the anus. This area naturally stretches to accommodate your baby as they are being born. Often the natural stretching in this area can result in tears and sometimes if the skin is unable to stretch enough you may need to be given a small cut (episiotomy) to create the room needed.
How to use:
Do not undertake perineal massage if you are suffering from Herpes, Vaginal thrush or other known infections. Please contact your midwife or GP if you suspect any of these infections.
