I get phone calls everyday with women wanting to know which pool to select from.
I realize that they look different but in reality, all three engineered pools: La Bassine, Birth Pool in a Box and Aquaborn are the same in material and quality.
What is different is the color and the design. The large the pool and the more complicated the design, the more expensive.
La Bassine is simple and is the only pool that is available without a liner. It currently retails for $135.00. It outsells all other pools we sell by at least 4 to 1. It has also been in the United States market longer and well proven.
Don’t get me wrong. You will love your Birth Pool in a Box or your Aquaborn pool. They are expertly made and wonderful products.
So – let your budget start your decision process then select the pool that appeals to you the most.
The holidays are around the corner and each holiday season our shipping agents (UPS and USPS) are swamped with large numbers of additional packages, all trying to be delivered before Christmas.
If you are planning on having a birth pool or other birthing products delivered to your home prior to Christmas, you will need to allow additional time to compensate for slower shipping deliveries.
We recommend that you allow an additional 2-3 business days. Also keep in mind that poor weather conditions may also cause unexpected delivery delays.
Enjoy the holidays and by allowing additional time for shipping, you can relax knowing that your birth products will arrive in plenty of time for your birth.
For all you women who have a husband with an air compressor and he is doing his best to convince you that this is the PERFECT way to inflate your water birth pool — BEWARE!
The use of an air compressor to inflate your water birth pool may cause damage to your pool. Damage that will not be under any warranty.
Over the nine years that we have sold inflatable water birth pools, we have had at least four pools suffer damage from air compressors. They simply force too much air into the pool. Especially the floors.
We recommend that you use either a hand air pump or an electric air pump to inflate your pool. Note: battery air pumps seem to not have enough power to properly inflate water birth pools.
Winter is here and the cold can have a serious effect on your waterbirth pool.
Most companies, ours included, will send you an email notifying you that your order has shipped. When you are expecting an inflatable water birth pool to arrive when temperatures are below 50 degrees, be sure to make arrangements to retrieve your pool from outside after it is delivered as quickly as possible.
Temperatures below 50 degrees will make your inflatable water birth pool stiff and if the temperature gets low enough, even brittle.
Bring your pool inside as quickly as possible. Another option is to have your pool delivered to your local UPS Store so it will be kept inside until you can pick it up.
After you bring your pool inside be sure to leave it in the box to warm to room temperature for one to two days. When taking it out of its box for the first time, take note if the pool material feels stiff. If warmed adequately, it will be soft and easy to unfold.
If the pool is stiff and you unfold it, you may inflict cracks in the pool material which will cause air leaks.
Once the pool is soft and easy to unfold, you can safely inflate it.
