After a spontaneous birth, your genital area is sometimes sore, sometimes bruised and sometimes quite swollen. Urine often burns on the fresh wounds and using the toilet is rather unpleasant.

This is where a douche can help: it allows you to gently cleanse the intimate area after childbirth and dilutes the urine to relieve the burning sensation when urinating. It is also ideal after a caesarean section if contortions still hurt too much at first.
