items Postpartum care essentials from a second time mom. Everything I’m using for a second time around!
These are a must! I’m not a fan of the adult diapers. I’d rather switch out pads than change out of a diaper, but it’s great knowing if you have some overflow you can just toss these. The mesh hospital underwear literally fall off. These are so comf...
Boyshort Disposable Postpartum Underwear (8 Pack) - Frida

TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count – Pads with Witch Hazel, ...
