Lansinoh - Organic Pre-Birth Preparation Oil 50ml

Lansinoh’s Organic Pre-Birth Preparation Oil nourishes and conditions the skin of the perineum through perineal massage, proven to help prevent tearing during labor. With a blend of 100% natural ingredients, this perineal oil is specifically designed to be used to massage the perineum from 34 weeks of pregnancy – conditioning and nourishing the skin, as well as promoting skin elasticity, reducing the chance of tearing during labor.

Before you begin, make sure your hands are clean and your nails are clean and short. Then, get comfortable with one leg raised on a stool, either sitting or lying down. Apply perineal massage oil to your fingers and make small circular motions on both sides of the vulva, warming the tissue. Then, place your thumb or finger about an inch into the vagina and gently stretch the tissue at the entrance, holding it between your thumb and index finger. Massage from 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock, then from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, focusing on the area at the entrance of the vagina, gently but firmly enough to penetrate the tissue. Finish with gentle outward stretches in the 5 and 7 o'clock positions, holding for 30 to 45 seconds.

Lansinoh Pre-Birth Perineal Massage Oil is especially effective when used in conjunction with our other award-winning Birth Preparation and Recovery products.
