Vaginal Care
Personally, I had a vaginal delivery so these are all products I used that truly helped with my healing process and care.
You can’t wipe down there for weeks but you still need and want to keep your self as clean/fresh as possible. This was an absolute must have for me. Whoever designed the upside down spout is a genius, it’s one of the most helpful things in my postpar...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle
You’re going to be wearing your own “diaper” during recovery and you need something to hold everything up and in place comfortably. These are probably the best shorts out there. They’re good quality, comfortable and will get the job done. The hospita...
Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Underwear Boy Shorts Briefs
Very important addition for your postpartum diaper! It truly does relieve itching and the cooling sensation helps in all ways. The hospital provides some good ones too that you should definitely take home, but when they run out, stock up on these!
Tucks Medicated Pads Set - 40pc
Essential! You’ll need pads for a couple weeks post birth but there’s no pad that compares to these. I’ve never had a problem or leak while wearing these. They stay put all day/all night, catch everything, and are honestly quite comfy. Definitely rec...
Frida Mom Postpartum Pads, Leak Proof Feminine Care Maxi Pads, 6 Layers
You already gave birth… let’s make other things a little easier. The first #2 after giving birth (and honestly the second & third time too) is weird! I recommend having these on deck. Even though I didn’t need them right away, I ended up needing ...
Dulcolax Stool Softener Laxative Liquid Gel Capsules, Gentle Constipation Relief
For the first couple weeks, ice packs will be your bestie. They bring a lot of relief with their cooling effect and it didn’t add any discomfort at all.
Frida Mom 2-in-1 Postpartum Pads, Perineal Ice Maxi Pads & Maternity Pad
This was something I never realized would be needed until I was in the thick of postpartum and couldn’t even sit down… so I was gifted this and my world changed. I put this on the bed, nursing chair, car and it made things so much better. I highly re...

Self Care
Self care is so important during postpartum! It’s often neglected, but as moms, we can’t forget about ourselves even if it’s just for 5 minutes. These are all products I’ve been using during my healing journey that has helped me continue to care for ...
Facial mists are all the hype right now and they are a must have for postpartum! I took this with me to the hospital and it was the perfect refresher when I was too tired to get up and do a whole routine. It’s also the perfect refreshing touch during...
Rhode Glazing Mist
Aside from the lack of sleep that will affect your skin, your face will get dry!!! This is my most reliable/trustworthy mask that will instantly help your skin. On the pricier side for a mask but this brand specializes in dry skin and it’s so worth i...
Vital Hydra Solution PRO Glow Face Mask w/ Hyaluronic Acid - Dr. Jart+
Along with your skin, your lips will also feel dry!!! I had to keep my lip balm STOCKED on me! In my purse, diaper bag, bathroom, nightstand, car, etc… This was the one I personally used because of how much it actually relieved & helped my lips.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
My staple moisturizer that I have restocked on 10+ times! Again, we cannot forget about ourselves as moms and keeping our skin moisturized is so important during this time!
Vanicream Facial Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides
Sometimes you’ll feel gross with the lack of sleep and self care, the diapers you wear, the spit up and pee that gets on you, but again, don’t forget about yourself! Sometimes just a quick face wash in the morning (or whenever) is all you need and I ...
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
Breastfeeding/Nipple Care
For a manual pump, I couldn’t recommend this more. I put this on the opposite breast while breastfeeding and it helps me collect while preventing leaks. The silicone suction helps it stay on and I’m able to easily pour the milk into a storage bag. It...
Haakaa Silicone Manual Breast Pump
These are the best pads I’ve tried. They fit into any bra, stick really well and are very absorbent so I’ve never had to worry about leaking through these. This is Target’s brand and it comes with 100 for $9, it’s the best deal out there. If 100 is t...
