I didnt tear with my first DD but did with my DD2 2nd degree and sutured, DS i had another 2nd degree tear but left it to heal naturally. Birth times were 6hrs, 2hrs then just a 10min one. I did the peri massage thing but i can tell you when a baby is coming quickly you just dont care. The thiing iwould say is that a tear is so so so much better than an epi. The body knows how to heal itself better this way as it is natural. That is why when you watch an c/section the only bit they cut is the first bit, most other layers are torn! sounds gross but is better.......

I have read the pink kit... i wouldnt waist my money but there are a lot of other people who love it....sorry that probably doesnt help you at all
