These were great for around my drains and incisions in case they leaked. We also put them on the sides of my recliner
Healqu Disposable Underpads - 24x36, 150 Ct
If you're going to be sleeping in a bed, you will NEED this. I slept in a recliner for the first several weeks but was able to use this once I started sleeping in the bed again.
Axelrod Adjustable Foam Bed Wedge Pillow Set
Put this on your scar once it is healed
Silicone Scar Sheets 1.6”x120” Roll - 3M
I had these on the recliner and/or the bed. Wherever I was laying, this was laying below. They are washable. I ended up using these again after having a hysterectomy
Utopia Bedding Washable Underpads 34x36, Pack of 4
These are a lifesaver if you have drains. Waterproof as well which allows you to shower with your drains (if you are allowed to)
Mastectomy Drain Holder Pouches Large Capacity
This is a female urinal, basically. I bought it as it was HIGHLY recommended, however I did not use it as our toilet sat high enough that it didn't cause me discomfort. But A LOT of people do rely on this after an abdominal surgery
