This home medical equipment will help you increase blood flow to your pelvic and your body’s abdominal regions.  You can fill it up with warm or cool water and even put some medication for a more soothing effect.

It is inflatable (so it fits any standard toilet seat) and made of heavy duty vinyl.  It is very handy and you can fold it to fit your purse.  Seating on the Sitz Bath while taking a bath or just to give yourself some time off after surgery or childbirth will help you ease the pain, itchiness or muscle spasms.
