Giving birth, no matter the method, can be intense! Our postpartum sitz bath is handcrafted with all natural ingredients and can help relieve pain in your perineum, and soothe tears, bruises, stitches and/or hemorrhoids.  Sitz baths can be performed in an over the toilet sitz bath pan or in a shallow hip bath in the bathtub. Regardless of which method you choose, use this sitz bath as a way to give yourself some much needed TLC.
