Perineal massage

Hi everyone - I'm 32 weeks pregnant so looking to start perineal massage in the next couple of weeks or so. My question is really about oils - I have the Neal's Yard mothers balm and mothers massage oil - could I use these instead of buying another oil? Thanks ☺️

I think you can use any body safe oil really, I'm sure the Neal's Yard oil will be fine.
You've reminded me I ought to start soon too, 31 weeks now, thanks! I didn't like doing it last time but I feel like I should give it another go.

You can use plain olive oil (food grade). You do not want any perfumes on delicate skin.
I don't know if those oils have perfumes but I do know olive oil is fine.
