It relieves the stinging caused by urine contacting sore perineal tissue or stitches, and is the most hygienic way to keep the area clean without using friction from toilet paper on healing skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a peri bottle with stitches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A peri bottle is specifically recommended for use with perineal stitches. The gentle stream of water cleanses without any friction or contact pressure on healing tissue. This is far more comfortable than using toilet paper when you have stitches or a perineal tear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can I put in a peri bottle besides water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm water alone is effective.

Do not perform perineal massage if you have a low-lying placenta (placenta praevia), active vaginal infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or have been specifically advised against it by your midwife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my partner perform perineal massage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A partner uses clean index fingers and follows the same downward-and-U-shaped technique. Many women prefer partner-assisted massage in later pregnancy when reaching the area becomes difficult.
