More than 90 percent of moms tear during childbirth. Some of these tears are severe, ripping through the anal sphincter. The simple use of warm compress reduces this risk by 50 percent, but they're rarely used because current options cool too quickly or cause burns. PeriPeach is a warm compress designed specifically for birth that stays warm and is very safe. We're here to help moms worry less about their pelvic floor and spend more time bonding with their baby.
