Perineum Massage Oil, Pregnancy Cream for Perineal Massage, Perineum Oil, Helps Prevent Tearing During Childbirth, Pre Birth Essentials & Natural Pregnancy Skincare by Weleda Skin Care - 50ml

This oil is great! Smells lovely and you only need a small amount for perineal massage so it seems to last a long time. I've been using it for about 4 weeks and still have loads left. Not sure on whether it will help reduce tearing (especially as there's so many different factors in that outcome) but I have noticed that the skin is a little more stretchy down there. If nothing else, it works as a lubricant so it's easier to massage the area without friction.

I will recommend it anytime.. it smells nice and it’s not harmful but works perfectly

I like that this oil is specific for the job in hand and comes with detailed instructions...However, I have yet to find out if it helps prevent damage in labour. I will update accordingly. I have since found out that there are cheaper alternatives that I already have at home, and can be used instead so I probably wouldn’t buy again. But it was a good starting point.

I've been using this oil for a week in preparation for labour and birth. It has a great texture, it's almost soft. It provides long lasting lubrication and it doesn't sting at all. It also has an amazing, floral scent, but you can tell it's natural. Overall I'm really happy with it so far.

I used this oil towards the end of my pregnancy to try and avoid tearing. It had a nice smell to it, you get more than enough in the bottle for the period of time you'll need it for and the consistency was smooth and easy enough to apply. It's difficult to judge whether this worked or not as a gave birth 10 days early and I can't guarantee that I used the oil exactly as per the recommended instructions (although I do remember building this oil into my routine for the last few weeks before my due date.) I had a natural birth as planned but required 3 sets of stitches as I tore quite a lot! I would probably still recommend this oil as it's worth a try to prevent the tearing. It might have worked for me if I had used it for a bit longer etc, so it's hard for me to judge how effective the product itself is

I used this oil from 33 weeks most nights, I was sceptical if it would work. However after being induced I was worried about tearing & with how quickly my birth came the midwives could not believe I hadn’t tore at all & it is 100% down to this oil

I tried this after receiving a sample in one of the free midwife maternity packs. Didn’t even know such a thing existed. Anyhow, this purchase was actually gifted to someone I know that is experiencing symptoms brought on by menopause (dryness). I remembered how nice this felt and thought that maybe it’d help. It also smells amazing too

Really good quality oil with a lovely smell- unfortunately ended up with an EMCS so can’t attest to whether it would have worked or not! Gave me more confidence going up to the birth however, which is definitely worth something!
