Witch Hazel / After Care
Hi ladies, hoping for a natural delivery and I've packed large pads and disposable knickers in my hospital bag but nothing further for 'down there'.
I keep seeing things like witch Hazel pads /peri bottles /cool packs listed on other's check lists - are any of these a must have? All the antenatal ones like Fridamom are so expensive so don't want to buy something I won't use
Any brand /specific item recommendations would be appreciated

I bought everything for down there spent about £150 mainly Frida mum and my expert midwife all I used was bog standard pads I have a episiotomy and tears. I wouldn’t bother tbh. Even disposable underwear I didn’t use them some granny pants and a big pad does the job
I wouldn’t bother, it’s all a gimmick. I had an episiotomy and just showered with plain water every morning to keep clean and clear of infection. I did have spritz for bits, but other than being cooling it did nothing.
The peri bottle was a godsend for me to use every time I went to the loo. I personally didn’t take it to hospital but I used it for a few weeks once I got home
I just pour some witch hazel on pads! So soothing!

Spritz for bitz is supposed to be great, my friends kept it in the fridge once home too for extra numbing đź«Łperi bottles are supposed to be good too especially if you end up with stitches x
