Earth Mama Organic Perineal Balm, 2 Count

Wonderful postpartum gift - actually gift it before a birth so they can have it immediately when needed. I used this after 3 of my 5 births and wish I'd had it for the first 2!!! It worked better than the hospital's numbing spray AND helped heal. I also used the spray they made and it was also lovely but this balm is just the best. I gift it to every person I know about to have a baby. Now, it's also excellent for some non-postpartum uses so even though my youngest is a tween, I still keep multiple jars on hand at all times. Other uses include: - Discomfort, swelling, or minor tears after some, ahem, great intimacy. - Hemorrhoids. - Once used it on a very persistent eczema-like patch on one of my kid's scalps and it went away with in days of using this. -Those painful periods where you feel like you got kicked in the crotch by a buffalo. - I've even put it on a painful hangnail. Just be careful not to touch your eyeballs if you use your fingers to apply this due to the menthol. It's an ointment/balm so you have to use dish soap to get it off of your hands. I tend to remove the balm and apply this using a baby wipe clean cloth not just because of this but to try to keep the container of it as uncontaminated as possible too. It smells medicininal but not necessarily in a bad way. I have asthma and am incredibly sensitive to smells and this doesn't aggravate any of that. My husband can smell it after I've used it if I'm around him, so just an FYI, others may be able to smell it on you. To me, it's worth it because it works very well. Another awesome thing is that in the 17 or so years I've been using it, they haven't changed the formula as far as I can tell. That is amazing.

This is great for sensitivity from scratchy toilet paper and for hemorrhoids.

If you are about to give birth get this, trust me you won't be sorry. I got this as a last ditch effort to get some relief after I had my first. Even if you don't ripped, it will burn so bad when you pee. If you put a little of this on before you pee it helps so much. It's so cooling and feels so nice. With my 2nd baby I got this and brought it to the hospital. I truly believe I healed faster because of it. I've used almost all of their products and I can't say enough good things about them. Now that I am older, I heal with a lot of dryness and use it now for that.

I found my nether region to be itchy surrounding when my body ovulates, I tried so many different things to calm it down for months(yogurt, vagisil, baby rash cream, you get the idea) . I happened upon a review of this product and decided to give it a try. It works so well. Gives a nice cooling tingle to the area and numbs that pesky itch! And now ever since I have been using it I have noticed my itch time to be significantly shorter now only 2 days vs 5 or 6 days. Worth every penny! Wish I had known about this when I was having babies.

This balm is where it's at!! You don't feel wet all day and it provides relief.
