But it wasn’t until I had my first baby that I understood the importance of perineum health. Embarrassed to tell my French friends, I called my old ones in North America, and to my surprise they had all suffered from poor perineum health after birth. The more mothers I spoke with, the more I discovered that France is one of the few countries to take perineum health seriously. I had heard French mamans swapping stories in the doctor’s office about a brand new reeducation device — a pink electric dildo that measures perineum strength with a video game. Now with six weeks of reeducation sessions completed, my midwife said my perineum health is better than ever (and I no longer need adult diapers).
