Natural Birthing Company Perineal Massage Oil - Down Below

The Natural Birthing Company Down Below Perineal massage oil has been designed by practising midwives who recognise the benefits of perineal massage and have therefore developed this unique fragrance free blend of natural oils designed specifically for this delicate area.

Rosehip oil and Evening Primrose oils have been carefully chosen to help support the skins natural elasticity, both are rich in Omega oils & fatty acids.

Research shows that massaging the perineal area from 34 weeks of pregnancy can help reduce the risk of episiotomy and tearing.

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. * (full instruction leaflet enclosed).
