i bought them for the 1st time with my 2nd, they are comfortable but pads stuck to them and ripped.. i asked for extra hospital ones to take home. and still had some left over. i wouldn’t spend my money on them again

I didn’t use the Frida’s, but honestly I bought depends and just used those and changed them as frequently as you would need to change the pads. It was faster for me with a NICU baby, but I’d recommend it overall. It was more comfortable than the giant pads and weird disposable underwear to me.

They give you all these supplies at the hospital

I loved the Frida ones

Personally, I felt like I needed the help of adult diapers. They were the best. The depends

I got two packs when I had my daughter, so comfortable.

no just get the depends or generic versions they’re exactly the same

For me I bought them and concept was good, but I bought them smaller than needed so that was a little annoying. They are comfortable still, but when you put a pad on them they do rip so that is annoying to. I would suggest get overnight period underwear. I did have the alway brand in black, it’s like a diaper, no need to put pads or anything. Which is convenient because you’re not going to want to do much. They are more comfortable than the Frida because they have a built in pad . I even use it for my time of the month and it’s a 10/10

I’m a ftm too but everyone ive talked to says to skip the mesh underwear and skip straight to depends. I got the Always discreet Boutique which I will pair with homemade padsicles. I’m hoping that will work out haha. I will say don’t rely solely on what you will get from the hospital because some don’t provide as much as you’d think

I didn’t like them I wore them 2 days and bled out of every pair. I ended up getting adult diapers on the way home and it was the way to go! I totally skipped straight to them with my second. I do recommend most of the other frida products though!

I oddly liked the hospital provided ones better than the Frida ones. The hospital ones were more comfortable, and the Frida ones felt stiffer. Of course, I could only take so many from the hospital, so I used the Frida ones when those ran out.

I really loved the Frida ones

I love both discreet and frida and always get both! Frida in the beginning when you might be using a lot of pads, or tucks pads, witch hazel, etc. And the depends discreet are just super comfortable, especially when the bleeding let's up!

100% agree with the comments about both asking for extra underwear, pads, ice packs etc from the hospital and also I bought adult diapers BUT make SURE you get scent free like make sure the package says that because I thought I was buying unscented and I wasn’t and it irritated all the parts that were healing that tore.
