Even if you didn't experience a vaginal birth, you might still find a peri bottle to be useful — especially if you laboured before having the C-section, which means your perineum could still be painful and swollen. If you’ve had a vaginal delivery, it is normal for your perineum – the area between your vulva and anus – to feel sore and swollen. You might have experienced a perineal tear or been given an episiotomy so your midwife or doctor may have stitched your skin up to help it heal and repair. It is very easy to use the bottle itself. Simply fill it with warm water, and while seated on the toilet, direct the tip of the container toward your privates. To ensure that the liquid is flowing over the proper area, squeeze the bottle.

The idea is to squirt warm water both during and after urination to relieve the stinging and keep your healing perineum clean. This practice is very common in the United States, where many hospitals actually give new mothers peri bottles. Using a special bottle, also known as “perineal irrigation,” is simpler, more practical, and gentler than using a shower head to pour warm water. The Sitz Bath allows you to cleanse, moisturise, relieve itchiness and prevent infections to help you heal. Simply pop the Sitz Tub in the rim of your toilet, add warm water, and Sitz Salts and soak your perineum for 15 to 20 minutes. Using the bottle itself is very simple. All you need to do is fill it with warm water and point the tip towards your private parts while you are on the toilet. Squeeze the bottle to direct the flow of liquid over the right area.

There aren't any rules about how long you can use a peri bottle — it all depends on your healing process and how long you find it to be helpful.
