Perineum Massage Oil FAQs
What is Perineum Massage Oil used for?
Perineum Massage Oil is a traditional midwifery preparation used in the weeks before labor to soften and stretch perineal tissue, improving skin elasticity to help prepare for a smoother, more comfortable delivery. Regular prenatal perineal massage with a nourishing oil is a well-established practice in midwifery care.
When should I start using Perineum Massage Oil?
Most midwives recommend beginning perineal massage at 34-36 weeks of pregnancy (about 4-6 weeks before your due date) and practicing it 3-4 times per week up until labor. Always follow your midwife's or OB's specific guidance.
