9. Sitz Bath – Soothing Relief for Postpartum Healing & Hemorrhoids
A sitz bath is a time-tested way to help new moms find gentle relief from swelling, stitches, or hemorrhoids after birth. It’s a simple, soothing ritual that can make a big difference in your postpartum recovery.
Many parents add antiseptic or anti-inflammatory herbs or tinctures to the water to help cleanse and calm the perineal area naturally. A sitz bath can be as easy as filling the bottom of your bathtub with warm water and sitting for a few minutes.
A plastic sitz bath basin, though, makes it even more convenient — just place it over your toilet, add a small batch of healing water, and sit back. If you’d like to do sitz baths a few times a day, having a dedicated plastic sitz bath is a true comfort and time-saver.
✅ Why New Moms Love Sitz Baths:
✔️ Soothes swelling, stitches, and hemorrhoids
✔️ Easy to use at home with your toilet or tub
✔️ Perfect for adding healing herbs or tinctures
✔️ Quick, simple relief you can enjoy more than once a day
Postpartum Tip: Keep your sitz bath clean and ready so you can slip into healing comfort whenever you need it.
