Sitz Bath Soak

A sitz bath soak is your go-to for perineal recovery, reducing swelling by 30% more effectively than hot compresses. Use two to three times daily for the first two weeks to boost blood flow and ease discomfort. It fits over your toilet, offering a few minutes of genuine relief—something you won't find with the Postpartum Abdominal Binder (#7), which focuses on core support instead. After a vaginal birth, this soak is cheaper than the typical pain relief method, costing under $20 for the basin and salts.
