Are you sitting comfortably?

Many new mums experience perineal pain following birth, and this can affect the way they are able to feed and care for their baby. The cushion's purpose is to provide relief from the discomfort of sitting after an episiotomy, tearing, stitches, bruising or any perineal trauma.

The Valley Cushion was scientifically designed as an alternative to the ring cushion which has proved to be unsatisfactory over the years. It has two adjustable inflatable bags positioned either side of a unique central channel, allowing you to adjust the level of support, whilst ensuring that sore areas are kept from painful pressure. The Valley Cushion is hygenic and easy to use, and feedback from mothers who have used it has been hugely positive, in fact, some mothers have said that they would have been less inclined to breastfeed in the early days, if it weren't for the cushion.

The branch hires out Valley Cushions to anyone who needs them - members or non members.

Prices

• £25.00 deposit, which is returned when the cushion is returned
• £15.00 for first 5 days
• £2 per day thereafter.
