Why prevention is important for a smoother birth

A perineal tear is an injury that can be divided into four different degrees of severity (depending on the depth and length of the tear) and can occur during childbirth in the area between the vagina and anus. The severe stretching of the tissue and pressure during childbirth can lead to tears that can be painful and, depending on the severity, may require stitches after the birth. For many women, a perineal tear not only means pain during childbirth, but also a longer healing time and restrictions in everyday life - in rest and movement, as well as during bowel movements.

The gentle preparation for elasticity and relaxation in the perineal tissue

Prevention is crucial to reduce the risk of a perineal tear and to prepare the tissue optimally for the birth. The right care can help to make the perineal tissue softer and more elastic, making it more responsive to stretching during childbirth. Warm Touch supports this preparation in an innovative way by providing targeted moisturization and a pleasant warmth that relaxes the tissue. This can minimize the risk of perineal tears and allow women to prepare for the special moment of birth in a safer and more relaxed way.

Studies show

The risk of perineal tears (episiotomies) is significantly reduced by warm, moist compresses during the delivery phase. Compared to normal midwife care, the risk of a 2nd degree perineal tear is reduced by -60%, a 3rd & 4th degree perineal tear by -66%, and an episiotomy by -31%. we would like to give you this scientifically proven mode of action with Warm Touch in preparation for your birth. Warm Touch also boosts the microcirculation of your skin through the targeted use of caffeine, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients through better blood circulation and enabling the skin to store and absorb moisture better.

FAQ

A perineal tear is an injury that can occur during childbirth among women. The perineum is the tissue between the vagina and the anus. A perineal tear occurs when this tissue tears during childbirth. The different degrees of severity (1 - 4) of the perineal tear can differ in the pain experienced and subsequent restrictions. A perineal tear can not only affect bowel movements and sex life, but in severe cases can also lead to incontinence, abscess formation and chronic pain in the vaginal and anal regions.

The risk of a rupture of the membranes depends on many factors that cannot be directly influenced, including, for example, the baby's head circumference, an unfavorable fetal position, a rapid delivery, and the use of mechanical birth aids.
However, there are two factors that every pregnant woman can directly influence:
1) connective tissue on the perineum that is too tight and not very elastic
2) inadequate perineal protection before and during birth.
Absolutely not. The ingredient caffeine in the Warm Touch Cream is absolutely harmless for you and your baby. In our formulation, caffeine is not absorbed in the same way as when drinking coffee. Rather, it is applied topically to increase blood circulation and support your skin's natural elasticity. You can safely use our cream to get the benefits you want without worrying about possible effects on you or your baby.
The ingredient Vanillyl Butyl Ether provides the warming effect, relaxes and stretches the perineal area and passes on the other ingredients.
Yes. This is proven by our certificates in accordance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 (free from animal testing) and EU Regulation 023/2055 (microplastic-free).
The cream can be used for all skin types. Warm Touch has been dermatologically tested and rated “very good” for all skin types.
Warm Touch was developed in consultation with dermatologists, gynecologists, individual midwives and pregnant women. We created the cream recipe together with Cosmacon GmbH. The entire value chain takes place entirely in Germany (development, production, assembly, shipping).
