Birth recovery

I had a 2nd degree tear & i had the foam but honestly never used it, my faves were spritz for bits (chuck a little in a bath as well), witch hazel liners & the big cooling gel pads that u just snap in half & chuck in ur underwear. I also used period nappies for a couple weeks x

I used the spritz for bits and the foam

Tried the ice pads hated them. Felt bulky and uncomfortable.
The liners I found ok.

I used the frida mesh pants which were great. Meant I didn't have to worry about ruining pants and didn't feel like I was wearing a nappy. (Just a personal thing. Didn't want to feel like I was wearing a nappy 🤷‍♀️)

Had a second degree tear and some minor labial tears too

Oh! Peri bottle! I found it great for cleaning everything down there during and after going to the toilet. With a very light dab dry

I’d honestly not bother until you’ve given birth. See what type of birth you end up having first 😊

Amazon next day delivery what you need rather than what you think you’ll need. I see so many mums saying they bought peri bottles and witch hazel pads then never used them after a section.

I bought boxes of pads reading I’d bleed for 6 weeks and both births I barely bled a week.
