Birth Pool in a Box Eco Regular Plus is a personal use birth pool that comes with one disposable single use liner. The pool is made from eco-friendly material (0.38mm eco PVC Cadmium, Lead and Latex free) and meets EU regulations on maximum levels of phthalates. The Eco Regular Plus is large enough to accommodate two people if you would like your birth partner to join you in the pool. Also if you are particularly tall and would like the larger space for movement you may opt for the Regular size.
The pool has 2 sets of top handles perfectly positioned to help you control your movement in labour. Birth Pool in a Box is designed without internal handles to avoid obstructing full movement. The pool also has an integrated cupholder (Cup not included) which helps with hydration during labour. The pool has an internal seat, the seat is useful during labour for adopting alternative positions and movement. It is also perfect for sitting on after birth while bonding with your newborn. The oval shape is perfectly proportioned for labour and birth. The opaque outer walls of the pool increase the sense of privacy important to women in labour.
To inflate the pool, it takes 10 to 15 minutes using an electric pump which is an optional extra as you may already own one. To fill your pool with water, use a new hose pipe (to ensure complete hygiene) which is connected to your tap with a tap connector. Filling time varies widely according to the water supply. It can be as little as 30 minutes from a high pressure combi boiler or can take longer from a small tank if it needs to reheat in between.
