Product Information

Many mothers will be given a bottle in the hospital, but they might not be told how to use it. “The hospital gave me one after the birth of each of my children, and I didn’t know what it was at first, says Bell. Even among the doctors, we spoke to, this was a common response.

I remember having my first child and wondering, “What is that for? ” I am a doctor with three kids of my own.'”“Not one nurse showed me how to use it because they assumed I knew what it was,” claims Dr. Dothager.” Consult your postpartum nurse if you have any questions. Even if your perineum doesn’t tear during childbirth, it will still be sore and swollen for a few days after delivery. If you did have some tearing or lacerations, it could be painful for several weeks. The word 'peri' is short for perineum, the area between your vagina and anus. This part of your body will be most affected during childbirth and will likely be very sore and swollen for a couple of weeks, even if you don't have stitches.Some women go above and beyond and use an herbal tea or a postpartum herbal bath in their peri bottle. Although this kind of thing has many advantages, it’s not entirely necessary. Simply use water if using herbs in a peri bottle overwhelms you. The water works great. By the end of your first stage of labor, your cervix should be about ten centimeters wide, and you’ll probably feel the urge to push. Your body is telling you that it’s time to deliver this baby! Most new mums will tell you that giving birth isn’t exactly a comfortable experience and when it comes to going to the toilet afterwards, just the thought of it can be a little terrifying. Using the bottle itself is very simple. All you need to do is fill it with warm water and point the tip towards your private parts while you are on the toilet. Squeeze the bottle to direct the flow of liquid over the right area.

This is where the peri bottle comes in. If you're wondering what is a peri bottle and how to use it, we have you covered. And be warned, it might just become your best friend after welcoming your baby. What is a peri bottle? Being held upside down while using a peri bottle makes it a little challenging at first. At first, you might even unintentionally splash some water on the toilet seat or yourself! This is entirely typical. After only one attempt, these postpartum bottles are, however, fairly simple to master. Even if you didn't experience a vaginal birth, you might still find a peri bottle to be useful — especially if you laboured before having the C-section, which means your perineum could still be painful and swollen. Fill the peri bottle with warm water. You may also use cool water for soothing if that feels better for you.The vagina and perineal area are likely to be quite sore and you may have some tears and stitches in the region following childbirth. This is an incredibly common experience and there are ways to make this easier for yourself.
