What is the Difrax Lovi Perineal Bottle used for?
The Difrax Lovi perineal bottle, also known as a peri bottle, is used to rinse the intimate area with lukewarm water using a gentle, directed stream. It aids in intimate hygiene during pregnancy and especially after childbirth, when the perineum is sensitive and wiping with toilet paper is uncomfortable.
For example, it can be used after using the restroom to rinse the area without rubbing, or between changes of sanitary pads during the postpartum period. It can also be used during menstruation.
Its 500 ml capacity allows for a thorough rinse without having to refill it. Lightweight, it fits easily into your hospital bag and is easy to take on trips thanks to its storage pouch.
During the postpartum period, we also offer the Difrax Lovi Self-Refreshing Postpartum Pad, a maternity pad that provides a cooling sensation.
What are the features of this bottle?
The bottle is flexible and easy to squeeze with one hand. It works upside down, allowing you to direct the stream toward your intimate area while sitting on the toilet.
It comes with two nozzles that provide two different spray angles: you can choose the one that works best for you. The parts can be taken apart for cleaning.
Helpful tip: Prepare lukewarm water before using the toilet and test the temperature on the inside of your wrist. After rinsing, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel or soft tissue—do not rub.
