Konjac Sponge for Labour
Konjac Sponge for Labour
This little beauty is your labour and birth buddy! But how? I hear you ask...
Well have you heard these sayings...
"soft jaw = soft pelvic floor”
"loose lips, loose lips"
"as above, so below"
That's because your jaw is a mirror of your pelvic floor. If you are holding tension in your jaw you are holding tension and creating lift in your pelvic floor but when we bring awareness to this area, we are able to transfer relaxation, allowing our pelvic floor to soften and lengthen, allowing for an easier birth.
This pink clay konjac sponge can help relax your facial muscles when gently massaged over your face, neck and shoulders between contractions (while your birth support person scores multiple brownie points in the process). As we know for birth, a relaxed jaw is a relaxed pelvic floor and this little eco sponge brings with it heavenly mini-facial vibes to do exactly that.
And not only that! Perfect for postpartum as a self care ritual too! Just pop it in the compost when it starts to break down. A win for you and the environment!
Encourage your support partner to get creative too - beautiful as an all over body massage or when mama is in a warm bath, dip this in cold water and apply for a much needed cooling effect

The Ffull Story:
I discovered its magical little powers as a mini facial-feeling sponge as I was just looking to up my self care game as a busy mama! And wow did I discover something more —— she is amazing for women in labour!
On a path to living a low tox life, I purchased one of these pink clay konjac sponges to try. Impressed by the fact it is 100% biodegradable, made from Japanese konjac potato fibres and mineral rich pink clay (with amazing skin benefits -increasing blood flow and assisting with cell renewal). It was love at first try as it felt like a mini facial. It quickly became one of my favourite skin care rituals and I remember one night thinking to myself “how amazing would this be for Loz in labour”
So who is Loz?
Loz is my beautiful sister. Rather than act as her Midwife for her second birth (due to insurances etc) I said I would act as her Doula, supporting her and my brother in law. She had a dreamy home birth and when she was labouring away in the birthing pool, I used the soft sponge to gently massage her face between contractions. I watched as her shoulders visibility lowered, her facial expressions just melt and she relaxed more deeply into labour. She had an incredibly empowering birth - the most beautiful birth I have ever witnessed and we welcomed another little boy into our family in 2020. She relayed to me that it was one of her fave things I did to support her and made for a beautiful distraction tool too.
And that is when I realised I needed other mamas to know about this secret weapon for labour!
