Why You'll ♡ Me:
A Sitz Bath is the perfect solution for postpartum recovery. Improve blood flow, relax muscles, soothe soreness, and relieve itching. Keep things clean and find relief from common pregnancy and postpartum symptoms like swelling, inflammation, tears, episiotomy, and hemorrhoids.
Introducing our Postpartum Sitz Bath Toilet Insert—a soothing and practical solution designed to enhance your postpartum healing experience. This a simple yet effective aid in postpartum recovery offers both physical and emotional relief during this crucial time.
The insert seamlessly fits over most standard toilets, allowing you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of a sitz bath right at home. Especially if you don't have a bath.
A sitz bath can be highly beneficial for postpartum recovery, offering several key advantages:
Relieves Pain and Discomfort
- Perineal Healing: A sitz bath helps soothe and reduce pain or discomfort in the perineal area, which may be sore or tender after childbirth, especially if you had a vaginal delivery or an episiotomy.
- Hemorrhoid Relief: If you experience hemorrhoids postpartum, a sitz bath can provide relief by reducing swelling and discomfort in the affected area.
Promotes Healing:
- Enhanced Blood Flow: The warm water promotes increased blood circulation to the perineal area, which can help speed up the healing process of any tears or stitches.
- Cleansing: It gently cleanses the area without the need for harsh soaps or wipes, reducing the risk of infection and aiding in overall hygiene.
Reduces Swelling:
- Inflammation Reduction: The warm water can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the perineal area, making it easier to manage and recover from childbirth-related injuries or trauma.
Relieves Muscle Tension:
- Relaxation: The warm water can help relax the pelvic muscles and alleviate muscle tension, which can be particularly beneficial if you’re experiencing postpartum cramping or discomfort.
Provides Mental Comfort:
- Relaxation: Taking a sitz bath offers a moment of relaxation and self-care, which can be emotionally soothing during the often-stressful postpartum period.
Supports Urinary Health:
- Urinary Tract Relief: If you’re experiencing discomfort with urination, a sitz bath can help ease the process and reduce any associated discomfort.
As the area may be sensitive post-birth, a sitz bath is a gentle way to clean this zone without applying any pressure, such as by using toilet paper. Cleaning the lower region is incredibly important, as it will help the healing process and decrease the risk of further irritation or infection.
The contoured shape of the Sitz Bath Insert ensures a comfortable fit while providing optimal support for your perineal area.
Made from durable, non-toxic plastic, our insert is designed for long-lasting use and comfort.
Easy to Use:
Simply place the insert on your toilet seat, fill it with warm water and any recommended healing solution, and enjoy a calming bath experience.
- Ensure the toilet seat is clean and dry and the sitz bath insert is sanitised (with tablets) before placing the sitz bath insert.
2. Gently place the insert between the rim and the toilet seat, making sure it fits in place. Lower the toilet seat down to secure.
3. Fill the insert with warm water, you may also add recommended sitz bath salts, witch hazel, epsom salts, lavender oil, chamomile oil or healing solutions as advised by your healthcare provider.
4. Sit comfortably on the toilet with the insert in place, ideally submerging your bottom and hips into the water, allowing the warm water to soothe and cleanse your postpartum area. Sit for 10-20 minutes once a day or as recommended.
5. After you're done soaking, gently pat your vagina and perineum dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing so you don't irritate the area even more. You can also dry yourself with a hair dryer set on the lowest and coolest setting, or with a hand-held fan.6. Carefully remove the insert from the toilet seat and empty the water (you can use the four holes in the insert's side to assist).
Cleaning Instructions:
1. After use, carefully empty the water from the insert. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water.
2. Clean the insert using mild soap and a soft sponge or cloth to remove any residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
3. Use a sterilising tablet and dilatute as per packet instructions.
4. Allow the insert to air dry completely before storing it to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
5. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape and cleanliness.
Regularly check for any signs of wear and tear. Replace the insert if any damage is detected.
Continue to take sitz baths until pain, itching, and other symptoms subside. Sitz baths are safe, but in rare instances they can cause an infection of the perineum if you don't clean the bath well before each use.
You can stop taking sitz baths once your wounds have healed. Stop sooner if your symptoms get worse or you have signs of an infection. Call your healthcare provider if you notice any of these symptoms:
- You're running a fever of 38℃ or higher
- Your pain or itching gets worse
- Your perineum is red or swollen
- Fluid is leaking from your vagina or perineal area
