Bubba Bump Postpartum Sitz Soak Bath

Sitz baths have healing properties which include:

• Increasing blood flow to the perineum, vulva, vagina, etc. Warm water increases blood flow, which can help promote healing and reduce swelling.
• Increased blood flow and soothing properties can also help relieve itching and pain.
• Aids in healing haemorrhoids.
• Promotes relaxation, which can help with cramping, constipation and overall discomfort.
• Warmth can help relax sore pelvic muscles.
• Cleanses the area, which can feel a bit yucky with the combination of lochia (postpartum bleeding and discharge), sweating, and wearing a sanitary pad. 

ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IF YOU HAVE ANY HESITATIONS OR CONCERNS.

• Sit in the water of your herbal sitz bath for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Add more warm water as needed to keep the water comfortable.
• Get up slowly from the tub or toilet. Hold on to a railing. Or ask for help from a family member, friend, or caregiver if needed.
• Gently pat your anal area, perineum, and genitals dry with a clean towel. Don’t rub the area.
• Wash your hands.
• Wash the bathtub or sitz bath bowl with soap and water after each use.
• Use a sitz bath 2 to 3 times a day, or as often as your healthcare provider advises.

Lift the toilet lid and seat. Place your sitz bath bowl on the rim of your toilet. Make sure the bowl is firmly in place and won’t move around.
Fill the sitz bath bowl with lukewarm water (NOT HOT). The water should cover your perineum when seated in the bath. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable. Any discomfort, discontinue use immediately.
Add your postpartum sitz soak to the water (always check ingredients and do a patch test first)
The bowl has slots in the back. This lets water flow out so it doesn’t overflow onto the floor and allows easy cleanup once done.
Gently sit down on the sitz bath bowl. Hold on to a railing or ask for help from a family member, friend, or caregiver if needed.
