The Best In Postpartum Fashion And Care

When I had my first child I was told to come with an empty suitcase for labor and delivery because hospitals have the “best” postpartum care products. Anyone who says that must not have used Fridamom products because they certainly weren’t amazing compared to those. Despite a vacuum delivery with an episiotomy my recovery was quick – I was back to working out and “normal” life after about two weeks. I can say without a doubt that was in big part thanks to the Frida Postpartum kit (I ordered more of the ice pads) and Donut Cushion (I couldn’t sit without this pillow for two weeks – I literally didn’t leave the apartment without it). Having a freezer full of food that I prepped didn’t hurt either. Lastly, having comfortable clothing that helped boost my confidence was also key to a swift recovery. It’s natural to feel better when we feel better about how we look, and that’s not always easy postpartum. Click through the slideshow below for more on some of the best after care and fashion options to make the very difficult task of recovering, as easy as possible.

The Best In Postpartum Fashion And Care

APL Women's TechLoom Zipline

APL is the only brand that can make supportive sneakers that actually look as great as they feel. Their Techloom Zipline are amazing pre, during and post pregnancy for a cloud-like feel.
Frida Mom Labor and Delivery + Postpartum Recovery Kit

Everything you need to recover from delivery is included in this kit. I lived in the gown! Literally, I didn't take it off (or shower...eeck) for three days while I was in the hospital. I highly recommend ordering more of the ice pads.
Frida Mom Perineal Comfort Donut Cushion

If you have a vaginal birth you'll be sooo grateful to have this donut pillow on hand as it will be key to sitting without pain.

Attn: Grace makes disposable briefs and pads that will be with you from your heaviest bleeding down to the last trickles. All of their products are made without harsh chemicals (i.e. no chlorine bleach, dyes and artificial fragrances like you'll find in products from brands like Always, Depends and Poise). They're great to get in addition to the Frida kit mentioned in the previous slide.
