The Labor Kit Birthing Essentials is designed to be used in your labor and birth experience to help you deal with labor and help promote relaxation for you and your spouse. I love that each item in the kit comes with simple and easy to understand instructions:

  • Stress Ball "squeeze"
  • Back Massager "relax"
  • Mints "breathe"
  • Lip Balm "soothe"
  • Hair Ribbon "tie"
  • Socks "rub"
  • Washcloth "cool"
  • Pen & Pad "record"
  • Organic Sucker "mommy pop"
  • Newborn Bodysuit "going home"

This would make a really cute baby shower gift or present for a dad-to-be. The box it comes in would be easy enough to take with your to the hospital or empty the contents out and fill up your labor bag.

I really like that this kit doesn't try to overpower your with scent or other relaxation aromas. This is purely man or woman powered on the labor end of things.

I'd probably use a hair band or head band over a ribbon to tie my hair back, but that wouldn't be as attractive in the package. The socks are warm and comfy and the baby shirt is very soft. I found the suckers to be scrumptious and the mints refreshing. My husband said the massage tool didn't hurt his hand as I made him try it out. And even though I'm not a fan of recording contractions, the notepad comes in handy for logging breastfeeding and diaper info.

I think this product is a two thumbs up!
