Details
They're especially recommended for women who have recently given birth vaginally, as the water temperature in a sitz bath increases blood flow to the perineal area and promotes faster healing.
Sitz baths have healing properties which include:
- Increasing blood flow to the perineum, vulva, vagina, etc. Warm water increases blood flow, which can help promote healing and reduce swelling.
- Increased blood flow and soothing properties can also help relieve itching and pain.
- Aids in healing haemorrhoids.
- Promotes relaxation, which can help with cramping, constipation and overall discomfort.
- Warmth can help relax sore pelvic muscles.
- Cleanses the area, which can feel a bit yucky with the combination of lochia (postpartum bleeding and discharge), sweating, and wearing a sanitary pad.

The sitz bath fits effortlessly on top of your toilet, meaning taking this postnatal healing bath is as easy as 1, 2, 3. No bathtub is needed - just your sitz bath, sitz soak and water. Once done soaking, the smart design means you just tip it down the loo and fold it down into its discreet design. No mess and ultimate postpartum healing! Follow the process step by step.
- Lift the toilet lid and seat. Place your sitz bath bowl on the rim of your toilet. Make sure the bowl is firmly in place and won’t move around.
- Fill the sitz bath bowl with lukewarm water (NOT HOT). The water should cover your perineum when seated in the bath. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable. Any discomfort, discontinue use immediately.
- Add your postpartum sitz soak salts to the water if needed (always check ingredients and do a patch test first)
- The bowl has slots in the back. This lets water flow out so it doesn’t overflow onto the floor and allows easy cleanup once done.
- Gently sit down on the sitz bath bowl. Hold on to a railing or ask for help from a family member, friend, or caregiver if needed.
ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IF YOU HAVE ANY HESITATIONS OR CONCERNS.
- Sit in the water of your herbal sitz bath for 10 to 20 minutes.

- Gently pat your anal area, perineum, and genitals dry with a clean towel. Don’t rub the area.
- Wash your hands.
- Wash the bathtub or sitz bath bowl with soap and water after each use.
- Use a sitz bath 2 to 3 times a day, or as often as your healthcare provider advises.
