Buy it. The angle makes it so much easier to actually spray where you need to! It’s so important to keep things clean down there during the first few weeks postpartum.
Upside Down Peri Bottle – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Â
Not to be dramatic, but these literally saved me the first few days after I was discharged from the hospital. It’s amazing how much relief ice provides when you’re healing in such a sensitive area!

Auden brand from target is sooo soft and great quality. I love the collared detail on these; I still practically live in the black pair I have.
Women's Cloud Knit Short Sleeve Notch Collar Shirt and Shorts Pajama Set - Auden™

Once it was time to transition back to normal underwear, I started with these. These aren’t my preferred cut of underwear, but they were great for the short period of time I used them. It was super easy to put a liner down in case
of any spotting (wh...
