Collapsible Sitz Bath
A useful addition to any bathroom the Collapsible Sitz Bath is a new take on an old classic. Previously known as 'hip bath' or 'bidet' the Sitz Bath is a convenient piece of equipment for personal hygiene as well soothing ailments such as haemorrhoids or perineal discomfort following childbirth. Sitz Bath allows you to soak several times each day without the need to fully undress, saving both precious time, water and any additives you might like to use.
The collapsing feature is easy to use and uses less storage space.
Uses include:
- Postpartum recovery - this is the most common reason to purchase this product. You will definitely be sore and tender following childbirth and taking regular Sitz Baths can help relieve some of that discomfort whilst helping to reduce the risk of infection. Use plain warm water or a magic solution of your choice. You can do this several times a day from day one. Do not soak stitches for long periods of time, this may cause the stitches to dissolve too quickly.
- Haemorrhoids - a 10-20 minute soak after each bowel movement can help haemorrhoids, particularly if you add Epsom salts (follow manufacturers instructions) you can do this up to three times a day.
- General hygiene - an easy way for a quick freshen up, you will quickly get used to the clean feeling that toilet paper alone can't achieve.
- Post Surgery - Wearing a cast or dressings usually means you're unable to bathe or shower. You can comfortably use the Sitz Bath to maintain your hygiene without worrying about getting in and out of the bath/shower and getting dressings wet.
- Children - great when children are potty training (and beyond) for a quick and easy wash.
- Yoni Steam - seek professional advice before yoni steaming for instructions. Do not yoni steam if you are pregnant.
