perineal witch hazel

Product listings identify witch hazel as the primary active ingredient; at least one listing specifies the label "Witch Hazel 50%."

They are described as soothing and cooling, intended to aid postpartum perineal recovery and provide temporary relief of hemorrhoid symptoms such as itching, burning, swelling, and discomfort.

Usage guidance varies by product: listings recommend applying wipes or pads about 3–4 times daily, or state external application up to six times daily or after each bowel movement.

They are sold as wipes, medicated pads (including pad liners), and a medicated foam.

Product details commonly note hypoallergenic or pH‑balanced formulas, dye‑free and unscented options, and labels such as paraben‑free or non‑toxic.

Some pad liners are described as full-coverage, providing front-to-back cooling relief and covering the full length of most maternity pads.
