Well, most likely, it's going to rip anyway.
Introducing something like that down there could be harmful to you or your baby. Also, it can seal in germs that can cause infection if you DO tear.
FYI--episiotomy is the surgical procedure. It does not accurately define the natural tearing of the perimeum during birth.

I had no concept which you will try this to avert tearing, till I had my son 6 years in the past. i became prompted and the nurses could are available in each and every hour or so and tell me that they have been going to rub some oil and do a rapid perineal rub down. I on no account tore in any respect. yet I on no account massaged down there till the day I had him. So i'll have this toddler on the comparable place and that i will tell somebody please in the event that they are in a position to do it back. i could do it myself yet i do no longer think of i think gentle with that.

Natural oils (almond oil, for example) are better for your skin.
