Care for down there

One of My Expert Midwife’s most popular products is the multi-award-winning Spritz for Bits perineal spray. Formulated with natural essential oils, including lavender, tea tree and witch hazel, it helps to soothe soreness, reduce swelling and support healing around your perineal area both before and right after birth. It can also be used to moisturise c-section scars once the dressing has been removed.

To see if Spritz for Bits really is as game-changing as it sounds, we asked our network of new mums to give it a go, and it turned out to be a real winner! Here’s what they loved most about it.

It’s very effective

“Spritz for Bits was a godsend with little Lily, as she decided to come out in a Superman pose with a hand up by her head, so I ended up with quite a few stitches. But the spray was very soothing and made me feel clean. I also had quite bad piles during pregnancy, so it was an absolute lifesaver with that, too. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone to put in their hospital bag.

It helped with my healing

“My second baby was an unexpectedly large 10lbs 3oz, so I had an episiotomy, followed by stitches, swelling and a hematoma under the skin, which was pretty sore. I used Spritz for Bits multiple times a day from the start, and within about two weeks my stitches had closed over nicely, and everything was feeling and looking pretty healed.

“I had an episiotomy with my first baby as well, but I wasn't using Spritz for Bits and it took closer to six weeks to heal. So, I think it's made a massive difference to both my healing and comfort.”
Josie, who’s had two natural births

It feels really refreshing

“Being a c-section mum, I never realised I could benefit from Spritz for Bits, as the old packaging didn’t mention c-sections. But if I’d seen the new bottle in a shop, chances are I'd have ended up buying it! I used it when my incision was almost healed and found it nice and cooling. I have a bit more overhang than I did with my first c-section, so the incision site tends to get a bit sweaty and uncomfortable. This spray definitely provides a bit of relief and much-needed freshness.”
Paulina, who’s had two c-sections

It gave me such relief

“After having my baby, I was very bruised, swollen and had to have multiple stitches due to his speedy delivery. I used Spritz for Bits directly on my intimate areas and on my maternity pads and the relief was instant. My swelling and bruising reduced dramatically in days, and my wounds healed really quickly with no issues.

“No matter how you give birth, this magical bottle is needed. Also, make sure you try it after it’s been in the fridge, especially on warm days, as the relief is unreal! I love it so much I’ve gone on to buy many more My Expert Midwife products for myself and my baby.”
Kayleigh, who had a natural birth

It’s so easy to use

“I was a bit unsure about spraying anything near my c-section scar but Spritz for Bits didn’t sting at all. It actually felt really cooling and calming, especially when the scar was feeling a bit tight or itchy during the healing process. I really wish I’d had it after my first c-section!

“What I loved most was how easy it was to use. There was no need to touch the area – you just have a quick spritz and that’s it. It dried quickly and didn’t leave any weird residue, which is a bonus when you’re already dealing with a lot. The scent is really light and calming too, so using it became a little moment of self-care in the chaos.”
