postpatum, you'll want to make a panty sandwich lol and this is the base. Regualr underwear shouldn't really be a thing for the first couple of month. Start with these, then add your ice pad, then you add witch hazel pads/wipes then some perineal foa...

I would classify the warmer as a more luxury item. It’s not necessary, but it makes diaper changes easier and more comfortable for your babe.
