It's basically a squirt bottle that allows you to clean your bottom easily and gently after the delivery of a baby. Peri is short for perineum, the area between your vagina and anus—also the place where trying to squeeze a watermelon out of a much smaller hole takes its toll. We're not going to sugarcoat it: Your vag will be sore, possibly torn, possibly stitched, and peeing will make it feel like it's on fire.  What happens after birth to the perineal area isn't fun, exciting or cute to talk about and often doesn't get discussed in childbirth classes or even before you leave the hospital. So much focus and energy now goes to caring for your new baby; it's essential to talk about simple things to help your day-to-day healing become just a little easier on you. How to use it The bottle couldn't be easier to use. You simply fill it with warm water, and while sitting on the toilet, point the opened tip towards the region you would like to cleanse and squeeze the bottle to squirt the fluid over the region. The best time to use it? While peeing. A lot of women experience burning during urination after delivery, so the bottle dilutes the urine, making it sting less. Start the stream of water, begin peeing, then continue the stream. Wiping can be excruciating in the beginning; being able to rinse and dab dry is so much better.  Should C-section moms use a Peri bottle? The many benefits of this little bottle in our postpartum pack extend even to moms who didn't have a vaginal birth. Your perineum may still be swollen and sensitive if you were in labour before your C-section. Even if your C-section was planned, it may be painful or difficult to bend over or reach to wipe because of the incision. Perineal and Breast Heat/Ice Pads As a new/pregnant mum, you need to prepare for your recovery in the weeks after having a baby and giving birth. You will be pretty sore and tender in your vaginal/ perineal area! If you’re thinking about self-care after the baby, good for you! It can be easy to get so wrapped up in planning for your new arrival that you completely forget to plan for yourself and your healing process. Postpartum healing will require a few tools to help soothe the pain, reduce swelling, and clean any tears or stitched areas. Postpartum ice packs reduce swelling and soothe sore spots — helping you feel more comfortable after childbirth so you can enjoy time with your newborn! There are significant benefits to using ice packs specifically designed for postpartum women.  Even after a vaginal birth without tears, the entire perineal area and rectum will be swollen, and you'll likely feel discomfort in the area for around three to five weeks.  Perineal cool pads are essential for use postpartum to cool and soothe your perineum and help with any postpartum soreness you may experience. When the perineum gel pad is heated, it can also be used while in the second stage of labour to reduce perineal tears and trauma when pressed against the perineal area (ask your medical team if you're unsure how to apply correctly)  When frozen, the perineum strip perineal ice pack provides soothing, cooling relief to the perineal area, which may be irritated, swollen and tender from childbirth, whether or not you had an episiotomy. The perineum strip perineal ice pack can also give instant relief from vaginal irritations and inflamed haemorrhoids or treat Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). After pushing the baby, you will be a bit swollen. If you need any stitches, you will be sore, which the heat/ice pads in our postpartum recovery kit can help.   The Breast ice/heat packs can be warmed or cooled to assist with your breastfeeding journey. The breast gel pads are designed to help relieve soreness associated with breastfeeding, blocked milk ducts and engorgement. When heated, the breast pads can be used as a heat pack to help ease milk flow and blocked milk ducts. This can reduce the amount of time needed for pumping or expressing.  When frozen, the breast pads can be used as an ice pack to help offer relief from engorgement, pain from inflammation, mastitis, blocked ducts and overall discomfort resulting from breastfeeding.  Perineal Relief Spray Peri Spray - For assistance in postpartum cooling relief. Spray onto the perineal area post-birth for relief. This spray contains Aloe vera for cooling relief and must be stored in the fridge. Contains- Lavender, Geranium, Frankincense essential oils, witch hazel, Clary Sage, Aloe vera + distilled water.  Soothe & Relieve Perineal Spray is formulated specifically for the delicate skin of the perineum. It comforts you from itchiness, pain, discomfort and soreness. It’s a total solution to keep your perineum healthy, moisturised and nourished - helping you recover from childbirth, and is one of our favourite items in our postpartum kits.  Mist as often as needed, especially after bath or toilet use. Perineal Preparation Oil Using oils in perineum massage before birth can help reduce the chance of tearing during birth. Start massaging from 35 weeks daily. Using a few drops, massage the thin skin (it will become thicker and less sensitive) on the lower rim of the vagina with the index finger and thumb for approximately 1 minute. Whilst massaging, concentrate on relaxing your mind, body and breathing deeply. Contains - Lavender and frankincense essential oil, and fractionated coconut oil. Post-birth use- Use on stretch marks or dry skin  Disposable Postpartum Underwear   Please note size Medium is 75-110cm waistline Please note size Large is 110-140 cm waistline Disposable maternity underwear that eliminates the need for uncomfortable, awkward pads in your postpartum journey.

The breast pads in our care kit are a perfect environmentally friendly alternative to disposables. Raspberry leaf tea Research has also found that women who drink red raspberry leaf tea regularly towards the end of their pregnancies had shorter second stages of labour (pushing stage) than those who don’t. Raspberry leaf tea is an excellent relaxant in our postpartum kit and a functional element to help when it comes time to welcome your new bub into the world.  You can continue to drink this fantastic tea after the birth, too. This nutrient-rich herb can be continued postnatally. It can assist with reducing blood loss, toning the uterus and supporting breast milk production. Please note tea strainer inclusion depends on availability. As with any herbal remedy, you should first consult with your doctor. Support Wear shorts  For Size reference, please refer here  Made from nylon and spandex, our support wear shorts are super soft and breathable against your skin with built-in support and compression to help heal and recover after childbirth. The mid-section gentle and targeted compression helps postpartum conditions such as  - Lower back Pain - Abdominal Separation (Diastasis Rectus) - Perineal tearing and episiotomy wounds - C-Section Wounds  The gentle compression from wearing our support wear shorts provides support to stretched-out abdominal muscles, helping your uterus contract, helping rid your body of excess fluids and helping pull your hips and ribcage back into their pre-baby position. The postpartum support wear in our recovery kits can also aid in back support, help with muscle memory, provide support during breastfeeding, and decrease pressure on the back and legs. This will ensure your body gets the support needed after your child's birth.  Healing Witch Hazel Wipes Nobody wants to wipe with toilet paper down there when it’s all swollen and tender. That’s why we added these wipes in the postpartum recovery kit. You won't want rough toilet paper near your lady parts post-birth! These specifically formulated wipes will be a welcome relief. Lay them on top of pads or your disposable underwear for extra cooling relief. Please patch test before use. Postpartum Herbal Sitz  Postpartum magnesium and herbal sitz bath soak with organic dried chamomile, sage, yarrow, lavender and calendula. The perfect addition to your postpartum recovery kit. A beautiful herbal sitz to nourish, heal and restore the body after birth. This is great for relieving pain and tears associated with birth, acting as a beautiful herbal remedy to help reduce inflammation, ward against infection and is great for relief in the bruising and swelling of muscles after birth too. Directions - Put the desired amount into a muslin drawstring bag or straight into the tub.  Pop it into a warmly drawn bath and use it in the postpartum period for healing. Can also be made into a cold brew used in a peri bottle to soothe between the legs for use after birth.
