Affiliate links provided below
The holidays are one of those times where our tolerance levels for our in-laws may hit an all-time high or the stress of making this season just perfect for our children may override what is needed for our mental sanity and physical calm.
If you are already experiencing pelvic health issues such as incontinence, pain with intercourse or some type of dysfunction where things are just not going right down there, the stress of the holiday season can make it even worse. Although this may not be the right time to fully address your symptoms, bringing awareness to them is a start and even making small changes can benefit your body towards overall healing.
Instead of gifting yourself with things that may not actually be beneficial for your body, like another TV, consider some of these gifts for yourself or someone you love with a womb.
Needed
Whether you are in the preconception phase and looking for good egg quality support, looking for a good source of collagen or wanting to try a prenatal or multivitamin that provides quality nutritional care, this is the one to try. They are currently having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale going on now where you can get 25% of a new subscription with the code BESTDEAL. If you miss this deal after the sale, feel free to use my code TENDINGTOYOURWOMB for 20% off your first subscription.
Intimate Rose Pelvic Wand
If you or someone you love experiences pelvic pain, in a majority of cases it is due to some level of tension in the pelvic floor muscles. Although I am an advocate for utilizing your finger to make contact and move the tissues, there are some who would prefer using a pelvic wand since it makes reaching those hard-to-reach spots just a bit easier and even a bit friendly on the hands and wrists if you are having to hold those tight spots for a bit longer to get them to release. There are bundles available that include lube, dilators or pelvic wands. If you are not able to take advantage of the deals happening, you can use code ANIETIE, for a discount.
LoveSteady
I love this brand and recommend it to so many of my clients who are either pregnant or postpartum. It is designed for mothers, is made and founded by a mother and pelvic physical therapist and is locally made as well in the Bay Area in Northern California. They have bralettes, bloomers, belly bands, and all kinds of support needed through all stages of motherhood. They too are having a Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale happening now, but if you miss that as well, feel free to use code SELFCAREPHYSIO for a discount.
Oma
I discovered this warming and nutritious soup recently and I love it because if I am struggling to find a nutritious snack rather than my Late July chips, I will reach for this instead. It is a Korean-based seaweed soup that is fed to all postpartum mothers to assist with healing and replenish essential minerals that are lost during childbirth. I love that it is also in a convenient package and all that is required is to open it up, add some hot water, cover for 5 minutes and then enjoy! Anything that is good for the gut is going to good for the womb. Visit OMA Natural food and use TIA15 for an extra 15% on the 1 month and 3 month recovery package (preferred for postpartum) but is great for anyone looking for alternatives and nutritive snacks.
Kindra
Initially when I have referred my clients to use products for vaginal dryness, I would always recommend coconut oil or castor oil and while I think they can be great, they are not right for everyone due to either irritation or prevalence to yeast infections when using them. I discovered Kindra vaginal lotion and serum recently and it is great for anyone with vaginal dryness that can be experienced during postpartum when nursing, any irritation that can occur with sexual intercourse and in perimenopause and menopause. You can get 30% off of any products purchased at this link.
Fat and the Moon
If you are looking for natural deodarants, skin care or products for your baby, this is place! I have been a fan of their deodorant for quite awhile and it is one of the few that actually works, is in a glass container, so no plastic waste and uses all natural and botancial ingredients. They are currently having a holiday BOGO sale if you use code FMHOLIDAZE but if you miss the same you can click on this link, you can get a 15% discount or use code SELFCAREPHYSIO.
The Pelvic People Kiwi
Since coming out with Ohnut, the device that allows for pain-free penetration with intercourse, they have since come out with a small massager that allows for easier entry and is small enough to use on your glutes, inner thighs and areas of tension that could be contributing to pain with insertion. This is a lot more gentle than using a Theragun and has the benefit of vibration which is known to help with calming the nervous system. There is no code that is needed and discount is applied with purchase.
I hope that these products offer some level of decreased pain, more ease and comfort in your life and know that what you are putting in or on your body all helps to serve and benefit your womb this holiday season and beyond.
