Postpartum Must Haves
Where do you start with the “essentials” when it comes to postpartum? There is something for everything now and I am passionate about Mamas only spending money on things they truly need or want. These are based on recommendations from Kiwi Birth Tales & Your Birth Project Instagram followers, who kindly submitted their thoughts, plus my own experiences that have shaped how I source products for the YBP store.
Postpartum Essentials:
Disposable Adult Underwear, I have tried both Depends and Partum Panties and both are great! I now stock the Partum Panties in the store as they have been so popular + I loved them as well!
Viva La Vulva Periwash Bottle. This helps with the stinging when you pee after giving birth vaginally, it is a lifesaver.
Silverettes - these literally saved my nipples.
Viva La Vulva Healing Spray - with ingredients that promote healing and also soothe any swelling or discomfort this is a game changer!
Ural - this helps decrease the PH levels in your urine which is what makes it sting, pop it into your water bottle.
Comfortable, loose clothing and PJs
Kiwi Crush - this digestive support helps to ensure you aren’t pushing hard to poo post-birth, nobody wants to be doing that!
Frozen Pads - I used Toms Maternity Pads and the Viva La Vulva Postpartum Padsicle Gel, the relief from the frozen pads is 100000% worth it, you can also buy the strips specifically for this.
