How to use

HOW TO PREPARE: Take a warm bath or shower, using a washcloth compress to soften the area (approx. 10 minutes). Clean hands (yours/your partners) and make sure your nails are neatly trimmed.

TECHNIQUE 1: Lay in a comfortable position on a clean towel. Try propping your back up with pillows. Lean back with your legs apart reach your
hands in front. Gently insert both thumbs or fingers (if partner), 3-5cms into the vagina. Firmly apply pressure in a downward-and-out motion towards 5 and 7 o’clock using PURE MAMA Perineal Massage Oil. You can progress this to a sweeping motion.

TECHNIQUE 2: Alternatively standing with your leg propped up on a small chair, in a lunge position reaching hands behind. Gently insert one thumb 3-5cm towards the opposite side of the vagina. Firmly apply pressure in a downward-and-out motion towards 5 and 7 o’clock using PURE MAMA Perineal Massage Oil. Hold for 1 minute, repeat if necessary. Then swap arms and legs. Finish with a sweeping motion.

HOW IT SHOULD FEEL:
This massage should be felt as a strong stretching sensation, and held at the point between discomfort and pain. About 4/10 on the pain scale. The skin may also have a burning sensation which will diminish over time.

Avoid perineal massage if you are less than 34 weeks gestation, are at risk of early labour, your waters have broken, have placenta previa or any bleeding, or you have a vaginal infection such as thrush, herpes, urinary tract infection. If you have any medical conditions, please consult with your midwife or OB before beginning.

What is perineal massage?

Your perineum is made to stretch during birth. Perineal massage is a simple way to prepare this area for the pressure and stretching it will experience as your baby is born.

By gently massaging and stretching the perineum during the final weeks of pregnancy, you become familiar with the sensations of pressure, stretching and relaxation. At the same time, massage helps you practise consciously relaxing your pelvic floor when the intensity increases — something you can take with you into birth.

BENEFITS OF PERINEAL MASSAGE

Perineal massage is more than simply preparing the skin. Research shows that regular massage from around 34–35 weeks of pregnancy can help prepare the perineum for birth and may reduce the risk of perineal trauma and episiotomy, particularly when preparing for your first vaginal birth.

It also gives you the opportunity to experience the feeling of stretching in a safe and controlled way, while learning to breathe, soften and relax instead of tensing against it.

Femmin Perineal Massage Oil 

More than just an oil

The skin of the perineum undergoes an incredible amount of stretching during birth. That's why we wanted to create more than a basic massage oil.

Our Perineal Massage Oil combines four nourishing plant oils with carefully selected botanical extracts and Vitamin E, creating a rich, skin-conditioning formula specifically designed for regular perineal massage.

Sweet Almond Oil is rich in fatty acids and acts as an emollient, helping soften and smooth the skin while supporting its natural moisture barrier.

Jojoba Oil closely resembles the skin's natural sebum and helps condition the skin without leaving it feeling excessively heavy.

Olive Oil provides lipid-rich nourishment and helps keep dry skin soft and supple.

Evening Primrose Oil is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid, and helps support the skin barrier and maintain skin softness.

But we didn't stop with the base oils.

The formula is enriched with Calendula Extract, valued for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties, and St. John's Wort Extract, traditionally used in botanical skincare to care for sensitive and stressed skin.

Finally, Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant while helping condition and protect the formula's nourishing oils.

The result is a purposefully formulated massage oil that helps nourish, condition and maintain the suppleness of delicate perineal skin, while providing the smooth glide needed for comfortable, regular massage.
