In those early weeks after giving birth, keep Peri Spritz in your bathroom ready to use each time you wee. Fill with water, and position upside down, between your legs as you sit on the toilet with the nozzle directed at your perineal area. Squeeze to release a consistent stream of water. You can use in the shower too, whatever feels most comfortable. To clean your C-section scar, fill with warm water, direct the nozzle at your scar and squeeze, for a targeted gentle clean.

Warm water! You could also add Ritz Bitz Sitz Bath Salts to the water for an added oomph.

Generally, we recommend using it over the toilet, or in the shower, but any area you don’t mind getting the floor wet is fine.

As long as you need. Peri Spritz is especially helpful to cleanse the perineal area if it has stitches  (sutures). These are dissolvable and typically last for 1 to 3 weeks, with most disappearing within 2 to 4 weeks. Full healing of the skin and underlying tissues usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks.

Peri Spritz is multi-purpose. It’s a great no-touch way to cleanse your sore perineum after a vaginal birth. And if you had a caesarean birth, it’s really important to keep your caesarean scar clean to avoid infection, and one way to do it is with targeted cleansing.
