In this article, we will be talking about the benefits of using a birthing ball, after giving birth to your baby.
But before we begin, let's get one thing straight, the journey of motherhood can be very difficult. It requires a lot of courage, strength, resistance, and work. After all, you are practically bringing another human into this world. With all this, even little things that add up to your convenience can make a huge difference and a Trideer exercise ball is just one of them.
A birthing ball is a large rubber exercise ball, quite similar to the balls you would see at the gym or perhaps the yoga studio. These balls serve a variety of different purposes, such as reducing labour pain, helping with the Postpartum journey of mothers, etc.
A primary concern among eco-friendly mothers is often related to the sustainability and health implications of these birthing balls. Well, rest assured the Trideer birthing balls are both safe for you and your child and the environment.
While conventionally produced birthing balls can be pretty detrimental to the environment, this is not a problem when it comes to the birthing balls that we produce. At Trideer we have always been mindful of sustainability issues when designing our products. This has been one of our core business practices and something that we have adhered to when producing our sustainable phthalates-free exercise ball. Our exercise balls have also successfully passed the California Proposition 65-Lead (Pb) & Cadmium (Cd) and California Proposition 65- Phthalates. The Trideer team was inspired to create these eco-friendly balls years ago when we were doing R&D on exercise balls and found out that there were high levels of heavy metals in the majority of balls available in the market at that time. Because we understood the environmental implications that it carried, we were determined to create something healthier and better for the environment and this is how the Trideer exercise ball came into being. So, using these balls does not pose any danger to your human health or the environment for that matter.
Now that we have the basics sorted, let's jump on to this section, what are the benefits of using a birthing ball?
