I’m getting the disposable underwear and pads from Fridamom - Do I or shall I get any of this extra stuff? Their website says about cooling foam (I think that’s it) Also heard about spritz for bits?
There’s so much of that stuff and it’s not the cheapest so I’d just like to know what everyone else has or is getting!☺️

I got distilled witch hazel from boots. So much cheaper. And I got the ice pads

I was gifted spritz for bitz by a friend.😂 So taking it as a recommendation. I'm going to get the disposable knickers and pads but just see how I go if I need the cooling foam or cooling ice packs!

I always buy my friends spritz for bits as part of their baby shower hamper! 🤣 they keep it in the fridge and said it’s amazing! I haven’t used it personally as I had a c section but I will take their words for it!

I didn't bother. Warm shallow bath to soothe and clean worked for me x

I wouldn’t, in case you end up with an emergency c section. You can buy it afterwards if needed. The pain relief from the hospital usually works pretty well for the first 24 hours. The only thing I wish I had taken was a peri bottle thing.

Do they work the same way? Do I still need a pad as well? X

No need for a pad, they are totally absorbent

Amazing, I’ll give them a go. Probably will still get pads anyway just because I’m paranoid😂😂

Honestly these things won’t leak haha I think they are made for bladder incontinence so they hold so much liquid 🤣 I used them at the start when the bleeding was heaviest then moved on to big massive cotton pants from M&S with lil-lets maternity pads ☺️
