It’s leaking, sweating, crying, snacking at 2AM, and trying to remember who you were before your left hip started hurting for no reason.

Expect:
✔ products that keep you clean(ish)
✔ things that make your body hurt less
✔ tiny life-saving gadgets you’ll swear by
✔ comfort items that make you feel human again
Basically: all the stuff moms don’t gatekeep once they’re on the other side.
Add what you need → ignore what you don’t → build the version of postpartum that feels good for you.
You deserve ease. Even now. Especially now.
