Aniball UK

This review is going to be a long one…I purchased Aniball as i just couldn’t get used to manual perineal massage without it being quite painful and I didn’t really know what I was doing in all honesty!!

On first trying the Aniball, it was certainly an experience!! But I did a little research and took it nice and slow and steady (with lots of lube!!) like the reviews said. Over the following 2 weeks, I was able to work up to the suggested 10 pumps with ease which filled me with lots of confidence!!

Each time I used it, I made sure I started a little lower from where I left off so to not shock myself or cause any pain when expelling…I was able to feel the Aniball inside me and the pressure sensation it brought and more or less breath and control the device out of me without any pain… Each time I used it (approx 12 times before baby was born) I did the breathing out exercise around 4 times each, so I could get used to expelling it as well as the breathing.

Now I’ll be honest, I think the relaxing breathing went out the window during labour… it was the most intense time of my life (fast and furious the midwife said)… I certainly didn’t ‘breath my baby out’ like I thought… but my labour was very quick, 7 hours from first contraction to the end… I went from 2cm to full delivery in 1 hour, natural water birth, with only gas and air…in fact I was only in the water 40 minutes before he flew out of me!!

On vaginal inspection post birth, I had no tears and everything was intact 🙏🏻 Healing from birth has been incredibly easy without having to have any stitches and I really do account a lot of the success to Aniball, so many thanks!!

My mum (a retired midwife) was certainly dubious when I told her about what I had purchased and initially thought I had wasted my money… however after witnessing the delivery she took everything back and couldn’t praise Aniball more!!! My sister is now pregnant and will certainly purchase Aniball to help prepare her also :)

I was a bit skeptical but after reading so many positive reviews, thought it would be worth a try as perineal massage was very alien to me and difficult to reach around the bump to do correctly!
Genuinely think I would have torn if it wasn’t for this product. I had a water birth, used the tens machine before getting into the water and gas and air for pushing stage - I had no tears at all!!! Highly recommend, worth every penny to have a positive birth experience and a quicker recovery post-birth.

I was skeptical about the Aniball and although I haven’t given birth yet, I feel much more confident about going into labour that I did before I started training. On the first try I could hardly get the balloon inside, even entirely deflated! After a month of training I’ve managed to inflate it nearly to 25cm and pull it out. Let’s hope I don’t end up tearing or needing an episiotomy but either way I’d recommend the Aniball. Worth the investment and can be used as pelvic floor training for life :)

I have absolutely no doubt that Aniball made my birth easier. It helped me practice the pushing stage of delivery and helped me feel relaxed and confident about my birth. I delivered a 9lb 5oz baby without any need for stitches. I can't believe it!

Had to have ventouse delivery in the end and the midwives and doctors commented on how well I was looking down there afterwards. I needed 4 stitches and no episiotomy which they said was extremely good and put it down to the Aniball! Very glad I purchased and used it. Thanks!

I used Aniball every other day from 36 weeks, gradually increasing the size as I went. I gave birth at 41 + 5 days to my first baby - I was able to calmly breathe baby out using the techniques I had gained over the previous weeks using Aniball. The result was no tears, no stitches, only what they described as a small graze that required no treatment. I couldn’t recommend the product more! Definitely worth the investment.

Aniball

Can’t recommend highly enough I was sceptical about it given price but so worthwhile! I’ve had such a better recovery as a result and was using it every 2 days or so from 37 weeks eventually going up to 12 pumps.

I’m using it now I’m finding it helpful

My wife credits the aniball exercises with making her birth much easier

Anigel - Water-based Lubricant

I thought this would be just another 'recommended' item for mothers to waste money on, but I was wrong! This is amazing, exercises are simple and prepare you well for childbirth. The focus on control and breathing has helped me feel much calmer and more confident in my ability to give birth

I cannot stress how amazing this worked for me. I was little sceptical but started using this product at 36 weeks for 15-20mins a day and had the easiest labour ever. The labour lasted 3 hours and the breathing techniques and being calm helped as I knew the exercises I was doing in preparation for labour would reduce tearing.

Happily I had no tears/rips- not one. I was able to recover very quickly and easily the days after.

Aniball is one of my top recommendations for pregnancy. With 2 weeks of use I managed to give birth to my first baby, weighing 8lbs 7oz, with nothing but a very minor graze. While I was extremely grateful at the time I didnt appreciate the rarity but every midwife and health visitor seen since has been amazed! I've told them all to recommend Aniball!! Thank you!!!

I cannot thank you enough! First time mum using your device and I had no stitches, had the shortest second stage possible and to top it all off my baby came out direct OP so really should have needed some degree of stitching or intervention to help her out and thanks to Aniball I needed nothing all! I cannot recommend it highly enough and think every pregnant woman should be using Aniball. Thank you so much.
