Best gels or oils for perineal massage?

Question

Hi mamas!
What gels or oils did you use for perineal massage?
Did you tear or have an episiotomy?

Answer

My OB suggested coconut oil

Answer

I’ve heard using evening primrose oil (just break the capsule) helps. I never have, but I used the oil orally and vaginally with my last baby. I barely tore but I did need an episiotomy.
