4. Peri Bottle – Gentle Cleansing for Postpartum Recovery

If you’re having a hospital birth, a peri bottle will likely be waiting for you in your bathroom — and you can usually take it home after discharge. For a home birth, you’ll want to have one or two peri bottles ready in advance.This simple, must-have tool is your best friend for keeping your perineum clean and comfortable after birth. Just fill it with warm water or an after-birth perineal herb wash, and gently squirt it while you use the toilet. This helps rinse away blood, reduces irritation, and keeps stitches or swelling from being aggravated by wiping with toilet paper.

If you’re feeling tender, a peri bottle can make all the difference in your postpartum bathroom routine. Many moms love the Frida Mom upside-down peri bottle, which is designed to be easier to aim and use.

✅ Why Moms Love a Peri Bottle:
✔️ Soothes stitches and swelling

✔️ Easy to use at home or in the hospital
✔️ Reusable and travel-friendly
