If you’re prepping for postpartum recovery, don’t overlook the humble **peri bottle**. This simple tool might just become your best friend in those first few weeks after birth.
What Is a Peri Bottle?
A peri bottle (short for perineal irrigation bottle) is a small, squeezable bottle with a nozzle that sprays water. It’s designed to gently clean and soothe your perineal area after birth, especially when stitches or soreness make wiping uncomfortable.
Why You’ll Love It
1. Gentle Cleansing: Perfect for keeping things clean without irritation.
2. Soothing Relief: Warm water can help ease discomfort and promote healing.
3. Easy to Use: Fill it with warm water, aim, and spray – no bending or twisting needed!
Mum Tip: Take your peri bottle wherever you go, and don’t forget to pack it in your hospital bag. It’s a small item with big benefits for your postpartum care.
