Just like with breathing techniques and birth visualisations, it takes a few tries to get the technique right so it's being effective but at 37 weeks pregnant I am doing perineal massage every second day for 5 minutes. It was slightly uncomfortable the first try, easier on the second and now I can feel the benefit. The massage oil is necessary and my midwife has confirmed I'm only doing good things to avoid unnecessary tears!
I bought the device by recommendation of my midwife. I have only began to use perimom, and it is fairly easy to use. I cannot tell if it will make any difference in terms of birth tears but I can come back for another review later. I must say customer service was very good - the box in which my perimom was delivered was open and teared, I spoke to customer service and they offered either a partial refund or sending me a new product. The process was very straightforward.
This really helped me with perineal massage - I certainly wouldn’t have been able to manage without it! It’s comfortable and easy to use, well designed and arrived promptly. Would recommend to everyone!
I felt uncomfortable with my partner doing my perineal massage and I couldn't physically reach myself, the perimom tool has really helped to be able to assist in massaging and is packaged really well too. I can't say whether it's helped me not to tear yet as I'm due next week but I definitely feel like the area is more flexible after use
started using it at 34 weeks. really easy to use, made birth prep relaxing and less anxious. great product.
The perimom massager has been really useful in preparing me for my upcoming birth. I’ve been using it every evening and finding it very helpful in getting to reach a difficult area! Would highly recommend if you are preparing for a natural birth.
Perimom is a great tool and easy to use. I do think it’s overpriced. Still a couple of weeks to go until I see the real effect if worked or not.
Great product, I started using this at 36wks and my son came 39wks and 1 day with no tearing.
I am in Australia and ordered this about 2 weeks ago, I still haven't received my order yet... However, I am intrigued to try the product, hopefully it will be a beneficial outcome!
I found it near impossible to do perineal massage myself and it was hard to find the time to do it with my partner - so i found the Perimum a great tool that I could use in my own time for a few minutes after a shower. It made the seemingly impossible, possible!
I am very pleased with my purchase! I have had a hard time reaching comfortably to do the massages. I like the thumb placement and how the bottom is shaped like a thumb to make it less uncomfortable. Shipping was VERY fast which I am thankful!
Really good product, easy to use so I was confident I was doing the perineum massages correctly. No tearing in labour so definitely worth the purchase.
I much prefer using this over my fingers but it is very expensive for a piece of plastic.
Have been using for 1 week now. Was kinda dreading doing the perineal massage, but with the perimom it’s super easy and stress free.
I was unable to give myself a perineal massage due to my bump being in the way and really reluctant to get my partner involved, I couldn’t relax. This device is great and comes with clear instructions. It also arrived much quicker than I expected.
Shaped at the perfect angle, doesn't strain your wrist when massaging. Hopefully gives an easy birth!
I am very unsatisfied with my product as I have yet to receive it despite having received two emails asking to review the product
I love the idea of this! It means I get to do the perineal massage myself with ease, not having to struggle or ask my partner to do it! Love it xx
Just make the purchase, trust me - so so worth it!
A very comfortable and easy to use product that comes with a great oil free from the bad stuff. The massager is easy to hold and use.Recommended to my friend who is 5 weeks behind me in her pregnancy.
I wanted to start perineal massage at 35 weeks but found I couldn’t quite reach myself, so ordered the perimom & it has really helped! I can already feel the benefits & hope it does help me in labour. Fingers crossed!
I tried hands only massage but found this awkward and uncomfortable. The Perimom makes it's much more relaxing, easy and comfortable:)
Good shape, comfortable to hold and angle correctly!
