For the first 12-24h I had disposable maternity pads (midwife suggestion) but switched to reusables/cloth sanitary pads after this and I wish I had only used reusables as they were so much nicer! I have used Bottoms Up several times during my pregnancy and plan to use it every day (probably multiple times) once baby is here, to help with healing and general soreness.

Natural Birthing Company: Bottoms Up Soothing Bottom Spray

Bottoms Up provides instant relief to your sore vulva and perineal area following childbirth by soothing, cooling and calming the area. Bottoms Up contains ingredients such as Arnica, Witch Hazel and Lavender to soothe and calm your intimate areas, making it your go to product after birth. I’m really looking forward to using this after birth, as it can be so sore to even do simple things like sitting down or moving around! If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional.Bottoms Up can be used as soon as required following birth and as often as you feel necessary, especially after a bath or toilet use. I also love how you can customise the products to suit the mum-to-be and I found the company a pleasure to deal with and so professional. The concept is excellent, as someone who has previously given birth I know all too well how sore the area can get after birth so this is really useful for those moments! The design is fab, I did have a slight issue when turning the bottle upside down to hit the areas I needed but it was fairly simple and easy to use none the less. I purchased this box for my sister just before she gave birth to twins and she was thrilled with it!

Natural Birthing Company compatible - Bottoms Up Spray 100 ml

Witch Hazel is an anti-inflammatory ingredient that promotes healing, tightens tissues together, moisturises the skin, cools and soothes the skin, in addition to relieving itching and acting as a disinfectant. I did find it useful to have though to keep everything clean when you might not have a chance to jump in the shower with a newborn. This is my second and i remember it did hurt to pee the first few days but try and stay hydrated and the more diluted your pee is the less it stings.Such a treat to be given this box shortly after my daughter was born to remind me to look after myself too. It closes and aligns the cuticle layer increasing shine and provides a long-lasting volume locked in place. Arnica is an anti-bacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredient that stimulates the formation of granular tissue and also promotes skin renewal. They even delivered it to Ireland so I was delighted to have such a personalised and special gift for my sister.

I would say I found immediate relief with the cooling cucumber and then longer lasting effects with the calming lavender. I feel it’s definitely going to help my post- birth recovery and if I ran out, I would 100% get more! To feel the benefits of the above key ingredients simply mist Bottoms Up over the perineal area whenever you are experiencing pain and discomfort. Every item included in our postpartum care kits has been selected, tried and tested by the Mama Hug team and we are proud to partner with the following brands.I have used this whenever I was experiencing pain/discomfort so usually every other day and maybe 3 times on that day. She said it helped sooth those first wee's after birth and she also sprayed it over her maternity pads before she put them on as the ingredients (i know theres witchhazel) help you heal better. But what u did do was my first couple of wees in the shower cubicle with the shower spraying there (I was in birthing centre so own room and en suite) would deffo recommend if possible!
