Perineal massage promotes skin elasticity and stretching during childbirth and has been shown to reduce the risk of a perineal tear. Lansinoh Pre-Birth Preparation Oil can be used 3-4 times per week from 34 weeks pregnant to moisturise and condition the skin of the perineal area and to facilitate perineal massage. Simply use 2-3 drops of oil to start and add more as necessary.

Clinically Tested, the unique blend of organic ingredients softens, nourishes, and conditions to improve your skin's natural elasticity. Gynecologically tested and specially formulated for use on the perineal area, it is suitable for sensitive skin and is also vegan friendly.

How to use:
Before you start, ensure your hands are clean and nails are clean and short. Then make yourself comfortable with one leg raised on a stool, sitting, or lying down. Apply your perineal massage oil to your fingers and make small, circular movements on either side of your vulva, warming the tissue. Then place your thumb or finger about an inch into your vagina and gently stretch the tissue at the entrance, holding it between your thumb and index finger. Massage from the 6 o’clock to 3 o’clock position, then from the 6 o’clock to 9 o’clock position, focusing on the area at the entrance to the vagina, gently but firm enough to work into the tissue. Finish with gentle outwards stretches at the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions, holding for 30-45 seconds.

Lansinoh’s pre-birth perineum massage oil is especially effective when used alongside their other award-winning Birth Preparation & Recovery products.
