Best Massage Lotions
Since massage is such a large part of effective touch and deep relaxation in labor (clueless why we say this? Catch up on our love and safety series here) you’re probably stocking up on tools to help keep massage going hours into the labor process.
One great way to have a smooth, warm and effective massage is using an oil or lotion.
Which are the best for long term labor support?
1. Coconut Oil
Smooth and easily accessible, the smell is usually pleasing for most women in labor, and doesn’t overpower the senses.
2. Sunflower Oil
Generally unscented for the most nauseated of noses, this one also tends to be much more easily absorbed by the skin and leaves less of a greasy residue.
3. Baby Oil
In a pinch? Grab some of the baby oil you have on hand and bring it to your labor room.
4. Cocoa Butter
Why not assist with full body hydration at the same time? Cocoa butter also doubles as a stretch mark emollient.
5. Magic Massager
Not feeling the lotion love? Try this slippery double layer cloth. It glides smoothly over clothing and bare skin to provide effective massage for a long period of time!
