How to use the Perineal Foam

Step by step

How to use the Perineal Foam

1

Rinse first

Use the peri bottle with warm water after every toilet visit, then pat dry. No wiping.

2

Lay the liner on the pad

Place a cooling liner along your maternity pad, front to back, if you are using them.

3

One pump on the liner

Pump the foam onto the liner, or straight onto the pad. It stays where you put it instead of soaking away.

4

Change with every pad

Repeat at each pad change, four to six times a day in the early days.

5

Keep it in the fridge

Cold foam feels even better in the first week. Store it in the fridge door.

How the foam and liners work together

Both use witch hazel. They do different jobs.

The liner

A pre-soaked sheet that lies along the whole pad for front-to-back cooling comfort. Change it with every pad.

The foam

Targeted. One pump where you want it most, including postpartum haemorrhoids. Absorbs into the skin rather than the pad.

Together

Liner first, foam on top. This is the routine in the Recovery Kit and the Labour & Delivery Kit.

Common questions

Before you order

About this product

How is the foam different from the cooling pad liners?

The liner covers the whole pad; the foam is targeted and stays on the skin. Most mums use both: liner first, one pump of foam on top.

Can I put it straight on my skin?

Yes. Pump a little onto soft toilet paper or a cotton pad and dab gently. Do not rub.

Will it sting?

It is made without added fragrance, dyes or heavy alcohol, so it is designed to feel cool and fresh. If anything stings, burns or looks red and angry, stop and talk to your midwife.

How long does a bottle last?

One to two pumps per pad change, four to six changes a day early on: a 150ml bottle usually lasts one to two weeks.

Is it suitable after a caesarean?

Yes, for the postpartum bleeding and haemorrhoids that follow any birth. Keep it well away from the incision itself unless your midwife says otherwise.

What is in it?

Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) in a short, gentle base with no added perfume, dyes or heavy alcohol. The full ingredient list is on the bottle.

Ordering

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping to metro areas takes 3 to 7 business days, free on orders over $60. Express options are available at checkout. Everything ships from Braeside, Victoria.

Can I return this if it is not right?

Unopened items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. For hygiene reasons, opened personal-care items cannot be returned unless faulty.

Where else is Frida stocked in Australia?

Selected products are stocked at Baby Bunting and a growing network of pharmacies and independent retailers. The complete range is available here.
