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.
Our pre-birth perineum massage oil is especially effective when used alongside our other award-winning Birth Preparation & Recovery products.

Perineal massage involves massaging the tissues of your perineum – the space in between the vaginal opening and the anus.  Massaging the perineum helps to increase blood flow to the perineal area, which can help the tissues stretch more easily during childbirth.

You can start perineal massage any time after week 34 of pregnancy as by this point, the relaxin  hormone has started to kick in. You can see the benefits from practicing the technique 5 to 10 minutes a day, even 3 days a week.

Massaging the perineum during the last few weeks of pregnancy may help to allow it stretch more easily when your baby’s head is crowning during labour. Practicing perineal massage can also help you become more familiar with the feeling of stretching that you will feel during labour.

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.
