Perineum massage....unique method

[BabyBG]

Warning...dont read unless a bit open minded!

So I have started the perineum massage in hopes that I can stretch things a bit to avoid tearing. I am finding it hard to reach by myself and my hubby, as wonderful as he is, is not keen on helping....so...I broke out the vibrator.

I use oil and it gives me enough leverage to reach down there and stretch things out a bit. A new use for an old toy!

Wondering if anyone sees any reason why this is not a good idea as I keep it very clean? Or simply offering a solution to anyone else in my situation!

I'm impressed you can reach! I have enough trouble when using the toilet let alone trying to reach for any type of massage.

I think as long as it's kept clean I can't imagine that it would cause a problem (and I think I would discourage you from using it for vaginal/clitoral stimulation after using it near perineum). Although I don't know much about the effect of vibrators in the later stages of pregnancy... (i.e. do the vibrations reach/bother baby?)

I hope it helps though! Thanks for sharing

Thats certainly something to consider! i would never have thought of that in a million years! I dont think vibration would bother the baby as the perineum is quite a way away from where the baby is. x

Sounds like a plan - I think you can buy wipes from places like Anne Summers etc to clean your vibrator with so I would use those or something similar. In regards to the vibration etc - many many couples still engage in regular sex during the third trimester and all is fine

I think this is an awesome idea! If I may ask...how exactly are you using it? Just as you would normally? I can't reach either and DH is a little less then enthusiastic about getting down there and doing.....
