Perineum Massage Oil

Uses / Instructions

• Can be applied by yourself or with a partner.
• Massage 3-4 times a week for 5-10 minutes, from the 34th week of pregnancy.
• Best used after first bathing in warm water and making sure the bladder is empty.
• Settle into a relaxed, comfortable position.
• Moisten the thumb (or index finger if your partner is massaging) with Perineum Massage Oil and glide gently over the tissues, ensuring the massage is painless.
• Insert the finger into the vagina to around the second finger joint.
• Massage rhythmically with a light touch on the vaginal wall in a rotating movement, like the hand of a clock moving back and forth from 3 to 9.
• With each massage the tissues and muscles will feel more relaxed and softer, so that the length of the massage can be increased.
• Massage the perineum until a light tingling can be felt, then massage the tissue between the vagina and anus gently between the thumb and middle fingers.
• After massage excess oil can be removed by washing in warm water.
• If you have any concerns about perineal massage, please consult your midwife or doctor.
