Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle for Postpartum Care | The Original Fridababy MomWasher for Perineal Recovery and Cleansing After Birth. Color: Pink

This item was purchased in anticipation of the birth of my child. I'm Asian, so I'm used to washing my bum with a variety of bidets and products. High-end products from Japan and Korea From high-tech electronic bidets to a simple hose connected to a water pipe and a dipper, there is something for everyone. I've used every single one of them. br>br>I recently relocated to the United States and am currently renting, so I am unable to install a bidet on my toilet. My only way to clean my bum is to use a dipper that I bought in a Japanese supermarket. I thought this Frida product would be gentler, so I purchased it a few weeks before my baby's due date. Every new mom on YouTube gave it a glowing recommendation. br>br>However, once I started using it, I realized how ridiculously expensive it was for the quality you get. It's a squeeze bottle that you use to clean your privates or bum. Regrettably, it is difficult to keep the pressure under control. Even when you squeeze with all your might, there's barely any pressure. When water is sprayed from a tiny nozzle, a little more pressure is needed to ensure that your privates are thoroughly cleaned. Because the bottle is so soft, I believe it will be impossible to build enough pressure. br>br>It only holds enough water to wet and rinse the area. You'll almost certainly need to refill it to thoroughly rinse off the soap. If your sink isn't close enough to the toilet, you'll have soap residue on your privates. If you just want to rinse after urinating and don't want to use soap, I suppose this will suffice. However, I don't see the point in purchasing this when a dipper can be purchased for $4. Why not just pick up a collapsible mug if you're traveling soon after giving birth? br>br>A plastic dipper (or even a plastic takoyaki pourer) provides better value for the task, in my opinion. If you do a quick Amazon search, you'll find a ton of them for such a low price. It allows you to pour water over your privates and bum, and it does so with enough flow that the soap is thoroughly washed away. The water flow is also gentle enough to prevent pain associated with childbirth from being triggered. And, because there's more water, you won't feel compelled to rub harder (which will make the wash more painful) in order to fully rinse and feel clean. Finally, both of these products cost less than half as much as this bottle and hold enough water to do a full wash. br>br>The only advantage I can see is that it is simple to transport. In the United States, however, new mothers are given a squeeze bottle. Use it for two days, then switch to a dipper with a handle that works better. br>br>Overall, I believe this product is ineffective and unworthy of the money. Simply use a plastic dipper, a takoyaki pourer, a collapsible mug, or something similar. It'll be cheaper, more effective, and infinitely more useful (you can even use it to bathe your newborn!). There's no need to spend money on a special "shampoo rinser" from a baby brand). Don't believe YouTube reviewers when they say you don't need to pack this in your hospital bag. Alternatively, you can put it in any bag you want.

I bought this as a backup to use during the CoronaVirus Outbreak, when TP is scarce everywhere. br>My family and I were discussing purchasing the OXO squirt bottles as a backup plan in case of an emergency. In August, my niece gave birth to her first child. When she told us about it, the hospital gave it to her as a gift to use after her baby was born. I immediately bought two for our home after she sent me the picture. I'm so glad I did, and I think I'll be fine using this if I run out of toilet paper. I've tried it and it works great for cleaning everything in your private areas when you use warm water. It has enough water in it, and the water spray from the spray nozzle is sufficient to make you feel fresher than TP! It was well worth the money - a fantastic idea Thank you.

It's a tad bit of a challenge. br>Get out of here, it's "difficult to use. " It's ridiculously simple to work with. If you can squeeze a ketchup bottle, you're good to go; if that's too difficult or confusing for you, move on; I'm not sure what else would be easier. Ladies, do you agree with me? br>You get about three-quarters of a pound of meat. Each full bottle application requires four generous squeezes or "squirts. " If that does not "satisfy" you (giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle- Laugh, snort"), then pat yourself on the back with a tissue and refill the bottle. That should (snort) do the trick. guffaw once more br>I purchased this because the bidet on our toilet was seriously in need of a new screw. I needed something to tide me over until it arrived, which would be about a week. This was ideal. br>I'll keep it on my person "just in case," and I'll gladly accept it when I need it. br>It's inexpensive, of good quality, simple to use, and, oh my goodness, admit it, it's entertaining. What else could you possibly want from it? I am a 71-year-old woman. I'm old enough to understand what I'm saying. br>From myself and my shinyhinny, thank you Frida Folks.

I purchased this bottle at the start of the pandemic, when there was a shortage of toilet paper and going to the bathroom was difficult. It seemed logical that using this in conjunction with a couple of baby wipes would eliminate the need for toilet paper. Not only did it work exactly as I had hoped, but I will never use toilet paper again! My arms were always too short for me to wipe from front to back properly. And because I'm a postmenopausal woman who is dry everywhere (like the Sahara), toilet paper felt like sandpaper on my bum, no matter how soft it was. It's a joy to work with! Each morning, I fill it and place it near the toilet, so it's ready when my bum is. I use it to squirt myself clean after I've gone, then follow up with a swipe or two of baby wipes (always remember to throw used wipes in the trash, not into the toilet). Whatever comes out of your mouth and toilet paper are flushable, regardless of what the package says! ) This bottle is well-made and cleans up quickly. To those who claim it leaks, I say: You're probably not pulling and snapping the nozzle into the white disc that screws onto the bottle all the way. I'm still going strong a year later with my original Fridababy! I'm going to go out and get another one for my powder room today. I intend to keep a Fridababy MomWasher in my house at all times!.

Wiping was excruciatingly painful, and I didn't feel clean after having a hysterectomy, rectocele repair, and four grade 4 hemorrhoids removed. Because of the cystocel's vaginal repair, I was allowed to soak right after surgery. Because I was swollen and sensitive, the hospital's old-fashioned bottle was not angled properly. This thing changed everything. br>br> It's perfectly angled, cleans up easily, and folds up quickly. It makes cleaning the restrooms a lot easier. br>br>I haven't left the house in a long time, mainly due to pain. I'm also concerned that I'll need to go to the bathroom while I'm out. This baby, along with my sensitive wipes and a small container of baking soda, fits into my small bag. When it happens, I'll fill the bottle with baking soda to finish cleaning and soothing it. br>br>Wish I'd had it when I was pregnant, years ago.
