HOW TO PREPARE: Take a warm bath or shower, using a washcloth compress to soften the area (approx. 10 minutes). Clean hands (yours/your partners) and make sure your nails are neatly trimmed.

TECHNIQUE 1: Lay in a comfortable position on a clean towel. Try propping your back up with pillows. Lean back with your legs apart reach your hands in front. Gently insert both thumbs or fingers (if partner), 3-5cms into the vagina. Firmly apply pressure in a downward-and-out motion towards 5 and 7 o’clock using PURE MAMA Perineal Massage Oil. You can progress this to a sweeping motion.

TECHNIQUE 2: Alternatively standing with your leg propped up on a small chair, in a lunge position reaching hands behind. Gently insert one thumb 3-5cm towards the opposite side of the vagina. Firmly apply pressure in a downward-and-out motion towards 5 and 7 o’clock using PURE MAMA Perineal Massage Oil. Hold for 1 minute, repeat if necessary. Then swap arms and legs. Finish with a sweeping motion.

HOW IT SHOULD FEEL: This massage should be felt as a strong stretching sensation, and held at the point between discomfort and pain. About 4/10 on the pain scale. The skin may also have a burning sensation which will diminish over time.
