Any experience with Aniball or Epino?

[Dreamy89]

Hi! Talking to friends around I'm getting rally worried about my upcoming labour (and my body ) in April.

My friend and midwife told me about Epino and Aniball - they both look basically the same, one being earlier on the market (+ more expensive) whilst the second one is apparently newer and slightly cheaper.

Do you have any experience using these things instead of perineal massage or in conjunction with it??? I've found some really good reviews but also some critical opinions, trying to decide if and which I'm going to buy.

For those not aware:
Epino: epi-no.co.uk/
Aniball: www.aniball.co/

Are there any side effects or dangers using this???

Thank you!!!

Fwiw I've torn with both my DCs and

Ooops... I tore 2nd degree both times, needed stitches the first time.
Both times it was fine, good recovery, no lasting effects.
I understand why your scared, but most of the time its fine. People just don't talk about it as much when it's ok!

Dreamy, did you buy one? If so, which one? I've only found this comparison between Epino vs Aniball but I would like to hear a first hand experience here. THanks
