What is a peri bottle?

A peri bottle, also known as a peri care bottle or postpartum bottle, is a specially designed bottle used for cleaning the perineal area after childbirth or surgery. It typically has a long nozzle that allows for easy rinsing and spraying of water onto the perineum to keep it clean and reduce the risk of infection.

Peri bottles are commonly used by women after giving birth to help ease discomfort from stitches or tears in the perineal area, as well as to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. They are also commonly recommended for use after surgery in the pelvic area to help with cleansing and healing.

Peri bottles are typically filled with warm water and used to gently cleanse the perineal area after using the restroom or during showers. They are a convenient and effective way to keep the perineal area clean and promote healing and comfort during the postpartum or post-surgery period.
