Anybody using aniball/epi-no?

Using my aniball to prepare for the birth as I don't like perineal massage. Got up to 30cm (circumference) last time but notice the instructions now say only go to 25cm. Anyone else using this to minimise tearing?

I started trying to use it and found it so sore!
I need to try and keep it up before baby arrives

I only had a small tear last birth (she came out pointing 🙄) compared to my friends who didn't do any preparation. It was definitely worth it for the confidence it gives you, feeling that stretching sensation & not freaking out. It doesn't hurt after a few times getting used to it, more just uncomfortable. I'm upto 22 so far after a few days
