I gave birth 2/2/13. The roids never completely went away during pregnancy but I also had lots of constipation throughout my entire pregnancy, so they were exacerbated a lot. But they shrank considerably with the bottom balm and didn't itch/burn anymore! I also bought that motherlove sitz bath stuff but haven't used it - it's hard to find the time to soak my lady bits for 15 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-565590 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:39:46 +0000 Springtime 565590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated this part of postpartum. So painful! The tucks and spray really helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-565575 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:36:42 +0000 allison 565575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Ah! We have babies! And that's really interesting that you felt like the balm shrank your rhoids. Like, they're gone now? Or just temporarily? When did you give birth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-564641 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:48:18 +0000 JerricaBenton 564641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't used it yet, but I got the spray for postpartum. I sprayed it on my arm and thought it smelled really good and felt soothing. I thought it was funny that it suggested you could use it on your face too, so if I don't need it/it doesn't work I'll probably just spray it anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-564635 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:44:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 564635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooooooved the spray! If I still had hems I'd still he using it. Between using the bottom spray and a healing herbs tea steep, I healed a lot quicker than I think I would have otherwise. It was very soothing.</p> <p>I'll definitely be using it again when I have another baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-564607 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:32:27 +0000 ladyfingers 564607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I disagree!! I had hemorrhoids in pregnancy and used tucks and prep h for a week with no relief. I bought the bottom balm and not only did it make me feel better but it shrink the roid within a day. I've been using it postpartum (sooooo many hemorrhoids) and again it's worked wonders. I would say the prep h is more of a giant waste of money, in my experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-564393 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:47:37 +0000 allison 564393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @sarac: @littlebug: Thanks! I don't think I'll be getting either one, now. </p> <p>@Weagle: Just ordered some Ching Wan Hung. Thanks for the suggestion. Fingers crossed.</p> <p> @tororojo: "Sadly I think only time makes them get smaller". This statement makes me so sad! I want a magic cure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563659 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:28:01 +0000 littlebug 563659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also thought the spray was a waste of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563631 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:18:03 +0000 tororojo 563631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Tucks pads w/witch hazel--I just let em hang out in the crack area for a soothing effect. Haven't tried them with Prep. H but will keep it in mind for post partum! Sadly I think only time makes them get smaller; in the meantime all you can really do is soothe them, eat plenty of fiber to prevent additional ones and maybe do some Kegels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563597 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:05:30 +0000 sarac 563597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, waste of money imho. The drugs in hemorrhoid creams are really what helps to make you feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563312 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:23:10 +0000 immabeetoo 563312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried both of those and couldn't tell any difference. Waste of money for me! I agree with mamamoose about the tucks pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563295 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:17:15 +0000 MamaMoose 563295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found it most helpful to put Preparation H on a folded up Tucks pad and then leave the pad between your cheeks for a while. The nurses told me to do that and I thought it was super weird and didn't want to do it. Well eventually I was uncomfortable enough to try it and it really worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563284 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:13:30 +0000 Weagle 563284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the spray, but it didn't especially help with hemorrhoids. It did help me feel cleaner, though. The best stuff I found for 'rhoids is Ching Wan Hung. My doula recommended it. It's seriously amazing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ching-Wan-Hung-External-Ointment/dp/B002ATPG3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Ching-Wan-Hung-External-Ointment/dp/B002ATPG3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a></p> <p>ETA: This stuff is like having a Tucks pad that never falls out from between your cheeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-this-stuff-for-hemorrhoids#post-563197 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:31:57 +0000 allison 563197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using the nipple butter and baby bottom balm from the Earth Mama Angel Baby line, and I like both, so far. I'm considering ordering either the Mama Bottom Balm or the New Mama Bottom Spray, but wanted to check in with HB to see if anyone had had success with either of these, first.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/mama-bottom-balm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/mama-bottom-balm.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/happy-mama-spray.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/happy-mama-spray.html</a> </p>
