Very pleased with my purchase. My favorite items were the massager/oil, the underwear, the reuseable cool packs, and the peri bottle.
The massager let me do perineal massage independently, which was important to me. The tool was high quality and easy to use. I used it every 2-3 days from 36 weeks until my natural birth at 39+4. It was uncomfortable for the first two weeks, but then got better: I believe this is expected of perineal massage in general no matter how you do it. Although I did end up with some minor first degree tearing, I'm confident I did everything in my power to avoid it. (Plus, the tearing only occurred in the upper and side portions of my vag and labia... not the perineum proper... so I feel my massages did their job!)
The hospital did end up giving me versions of the underwear, bottle, and some disposable ice packs, but I loved having perimom's higher quality versions of these at home. The underwear were amazingly comfortable: stretchy (my regular underwear size is S/M), well-made, not at all itchy. I ended up wearing nothing but these underwear and a bra around the house for basically the first two weeks postpartum... they were just that comfortable!!!! The bottle was well designed, a pretty color, and allowed me to reach every region down there (compared to the free hospital squeeze bottle which did not have the little extendy stick). The reusable pads and their thoughtfully designed covers were also winners because they were flexible, unlike the straight-up ice packs given at the hospital which hurt to sit on.
Overall, this kit was amazing value for the price. It gave me everything I needed to feel prepared for postpartum recovery (with the exception of a witch hazel healing foam, which I bought elsewhere), at a fraction of the price of competitors. Every item was well made and high quality. Strongly recommend purchasing this kit!
Excellent tool to use from week 34 to prevent tearing
The product itself I find it practical, the material is very nice, great quality, I can reach the area easily and without any acrobatics. The only problem that I have is that I don’t really enjoy this type of massage. I will still try for a few days and see how it is.
I love my peri mom wand, is easy to use and it’s help me and my partner to prepare for what I hope is a smooth labor time to me our beautiful boy soon!
I’ve been using this massager for a week now and can only say good things so far, easy to use and perfect size and fit. Will continue to use until baby arrives.
I really like it ! its easy to use, practical, hygenic.. finally the perineal massage feels like it works and easy to do
I am finding this product really helpful in the lead up to my birth! I find the tool easy to use and not at all painful. Using this has made me feel a lot more confident about going into labour.
It is a very handy device and very easy to use. I have already used it a couple of times since receiving it and plan on using it continuously. It does make ot easier if you use along with the oil that comes with it.
The perimom is super easy to use, makes massage a lot easier, especially as I couldn’t reach. It’s easy to clean and come with nice storage pouch.
I started using Perimom toward the end of 37 weeks of pregnancy as I ordered it quite late. Happy to say I did not tear.
Perimom is a much more “comfortable” solution to the good old perineal massage. It saves you from the uncomfortable position you’ve got to put yourself in to reach that spot or the awkwardness of asking your partner to do it for you.
In comes perimom-
Set up your own relaxing space pop some music on and use perimom 🙂
Much of a more comfortable way of preventing tears!
I’m left handed and didn’t realise when I bought this it was shaped in a way that’s really for right handers - I find it very awkward to use and I didn’t see this mentioned anywhere on the website!
Great service! Thank you!
The massager arrived quickly. It has a great ergonomic design and is easy to use. I don’t know if it’s worked yet but I guess it’s worth a try. I’m glad i purchased it.
After seeing a lot of information about perineal massage throughout my pregnancy, I knew how important it would be to do it but with a bump, it’s a bit tricky managing to reach by yourself which is what makes the perimom so excellent as it means you can do the massage by yourself at any point and is very affordable compared to other products available to help with your perineum.
Nice looking product with very thorough instructions.
The massager and instructions make me feel confident as I prepare for labor!
This is a quality tool that is easy to use. It comes with clear instructions and emailed additional resources.
I have only used the perimom massager a few times, however it is easy to use and painless. I can tell it is taking tension away as my perineal muscles are getting tighter. 10/10 for me!
The giant groove down the whole wand doesn’t make any sense practically, I would say it’s unnecessary and makes it less comfortable to hold at the top. She shape of the wand could be better made to suit the amount of reaching required to overcome one’s big belly comfortably. It’s OK but I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.
Massager is really good quality and came really fast , sadly I didn’t get to use mine this pregnancy as I ordered to late into my pregnancy and went into labour before I got to use . Will be storing away for next pregnancy and look forward to seeing how much will help stretch after having an episiotomy this birth :)
