Earth Mama - Organic Perineal Balm - 2 fl oz

Excellent postpartum product. Slight cooling effect offers relief for painful sensitive tissue. Smells good. Goes on like butter. Makes a difference in comfort and healing. Purchased for both births.

I had a brutal delivery. When I say brutal, I mean, BRUTAL. After all the trauma (I will spare the awful details--- it would be a long story), I ended up with both an internal and external tear (grade 4) that were fixed with emergency surgery because I was bleeding out. I had never experienced more pain and discomfort in my life. The ice packs gave me about 5 minutes of relief, but then I was back to the aching pains, stretching and pulling discomfort from the repairs, burning, etc. I was desperate for some relief and stumbled upon this and the spray. AMAZING for some temporary relief and for your sanity. It just cools everything down and relieves the pain, idk how to even explain it otherwise. Just do it and purchase it. This and the earth mama spray were literally 95% of the things I used other than tylenol, ibuprofen, the FridaMama squirt bottle, and tucks pads. Everything else was not worth it--- I mean it. I am now 7 weeks postpartum and still experiencing discomfort and pain here and there from my repair. And I am still turning to this when I feel very uncomfortable. The bottle suggests refrigerating it for extra coolness and I didn't always do that and I still found relief, but on rough days, it feels heavenly when it's cooled so I would recommend getting 2 and keeping one in the fridge. I would scoop it out with a spoon/Q tip/toilet paper and then apply because I wanted to keep the other contents in the jar as clean and sanitary as possible, so food for thought if you're a clean freak like me. It is 100% worth getting. Nothing is a miracle worker and not everything works for everyone, but at the cost and when you're that uncomfortable, anything is worth trying and it's even better when it really DOES help and it has clean ingredients!!

If you’re thinking about buying this product but don’t know for sure what to do…BUY IT!! I just had reverse ostomy surgery which means I am hooked back up to regular plumbing from having had an ostomy bag for 2 years. Due to the high volume of acidic, loose stool 20+ times a day that I’m currently experiencing, my perianal skin is highly irritated and sensitive. Toilet paper has been feeling like running broken glass on my nether region. I’ve using six other similar projects only to find that I’m still left itching, burning, chapped, and overall uncomfortable post-defecation. UNTIL NOW!!! Earth Mama organic Perineal Balm has saved my ass, literally. I should buy stock in this company.

After my 1st baby in 2015 I suffered some pretty significant tearing that required a number of stitches. The hospital I delivered at was so awful and never even offered me so much as the dermoplast spray that I had heard so many new mom's rave about to ease the discomfort (I also didn't know at the time that dermoplast could be purchased OTC.) I suffered through the pain and itching of healing with nothing but this bottom spray for relief, and I must say it really didn't cut it. I was grateful to have something to use, and while the cooling/soothing effect lasted for a short while, it just wasn't enough for me. Fast forward 4 years, and I am currently pregnant with my 3rd child. I'm currently in my 3rd trimester and dealing with hemorrhoids (a first for me!). I was researching Tucks pads and just couldn't bring myself to order them because they contain parabens, an ingredient I really try to avoid. In my search for a more natural alternative, I noticed that Earth Mama had this balm with great reviews on it. I didn't let my opinion of the spray get in the way of trying the balm, and I'm so glad I didn't! It's so soothing and long lasting. I'm finally getting some relief from the pain, and I feel like I'm truly healing instead of simply masking the discomfort for a couple of hours. I have no doubt that this balm will also be very helpful during the postpartum period in the event that I am unlucky enough to tear again as I did with my first 2 kids. So in summary, skip the spray, but don't hesitate on the balm.

I don't often write reviews, but I feel very compelled to leave one for this product. Embarrassing as it may be, the worst symptom of my first pregnancy has been an ongoing bout with TERRIBLE hemorrhoids... Thrombosed, grades 3-4, internal and external, and accompanied by excruciating pain that prevented me from functioning and sleeping normally (let alone continuing on with my regular active workout schedule, etc.). I have a very high pain tolerance and would never have imagined that something so seemingly "minor" as thrombosed hemorrhoids could be so debilitating. To add insult to injury, there's not much that can be done during pregnancy as surgical options are often times more painful and less of a solution than the actual hemorrhoids themselves. Together with my doctors we tried everything from prescription and OTC medications (Protofoam HC, Tucks, ad Preparation H) to "natural remedies" such as apple cider vinegar, sitz baths, etc. (I must also note that I lead a very healthy lifestyle with a diet very low in refined carbs and very high in whole grains, organic ingredients, green leafy vegetables, fiber, etc., so not even diet and exercise are effective as a first line of defense and treatment in this case.) I refuse to take pain medications normally, and even resorted to taking regular Tylenol two or three times just so I could sleep for a few consecutive hours. In all of my desperation and research I came across Earth Mama Bottom Balm. Coming from a physician family, I'm normally very skeptical of "all natural" type of medicinal products, but based o the Amazon reviews I decided that this was worth the risk. After reviewing the ingredients with my OBGYN and determining that the product was safe, I began applying it. For all of my skepticism in the world, I must admit that I felt almost immediate relief for the first time in over 2 weeks. The constant throbbing pain initially reduced (within the first 12-24 hours) to a general light pain that was more manageable. Within 36 hours I noticed a reduction in swelling. It was at this point that I stopped all other forms of treatment with the exception of Tucks pads for cleansing. Another 48 hours later and the debilitating pain had been reduced to occasional discomfort and itching. Within a week the swelling has gone down by about 65% and while things are not 100% back to normal, they are slowly healing and in a very manageable state. I rarely feel pain or discomfort (perhaps slightly during exercise, etc.). I will continue to use this product throughout the remainder of my pregnancy... and in a way I feel very relieved to have found it "the hard way" as I now know about it and trust it as a must-have for all of the wonderful postpartum issues that I will no doubt be going through soon enough. This balm has been a very unexpected life saver.

First I like to say I have grade 3 hemorrhoids diease complicated daily by IBS symtoms. I am not a good candidate for Hemorrhoidectomy surgery. I have tried most prescription creams on the market and most do a really poor job at shrinking and allievating the pain. Out of sheer desperation, and reviewing previous comments a sprang and purchased earth mama bottom balm, because alot of people said it helps for hemmorrhoids. This product is great, it has worked where all others have failed. I gave this a 4 star rating, which should really be 4.5 stars but that was not an option. I have found the cream works better when kept cold. It has a menthol type of smell, and when applied cold at first gives a cool feeling tham a warm feeling which some how reduces the hemorrhoids and takes away the pain. Depending on how bad my hemorrhoids are on a given day, the results could range from 5 minutes to one hour for resuts. Take in mind most people dont have hemorrhoid disease they just are deal with maybe a single one or two. Also this cream works on both prolasped internal and external ones. For me there is only one negative to this product, which is that after a couple of days I got really itchy in the area where I applied the cream. Since the product works so well, I decided to experiment, I noticed if I applied a very so small amount, that the itching result was drastically reduced but not gone altogether. My conclusion is that since some of the ingredients have flower extracts in them it could be possible that these extracts are causing some type of allergic reation in my body. Since everyone's body is different and not everyone is allergic to the same things, I cannot possibly say this will happen to anyone. All I am saying is that this side effect, while annoying has is not enough of a deterent for me to stop using a product that works when all else have failed. I have learned that in very small amounts I can achieve the same results and if I get itching in the area I use aquaphor to relieve those symtoms. This product has helped me so much, with mild to medium out breaks. I would reccomend this product highly.

Amazing product so helpful during an uncomfortable time. Does exactly what it says. I highly recommend

This product has had a profound effect on my down there care. I actually have not used it for postpartum care but rather for unrelated vajay and booty care and it’s been life changing for me. I won’t recommend that anyone apply it to areas that it’s not intended for but I get recurring infections and also just generally tend to have a lot of discomfort down there (I’m perimenopausal) and this balm always puts the discomfort to rest. I use it for a few days and poof! Itching. Gone. Burning. Gone. It’s a medicine cabinet staple for me. Really I’ve used it on other skin irritations just about all over the place! Again I won’t say you should do anything with it other than directed. Just sharing my own personal experience and it’s been a lifesaver for me.

Vraiment Soulager après l’accouchement... fortement proposer!

Love this brand and the product shows results as mentioned.

I used this after both of my birth’s and it was fantastic! I honestly never used ice packs just this cream. The cooling effect was so relieving post birth and helped me heal up really fast. Also relieved any itch that comes when you start healing.

This is one of my absolute must-have items in my postpartum medicine cabinet! I love that the ingredients are all-natural, and the product helps so much with reducing pain.

OMG. I cant recommend this higher enough. I ordered this cream before knowing I will need elective c-section so thought I wont need it, however I applied it onto my wound from about they 6 after c-section. It was amazing. Its so cooling and my wound felt 'on fire' for first 3 weeks post op. It took the edge away, cooled the hot burning feeling of the wound.
