Frida Mom 15pc Labor & Postpartum Kit Gift Set for Baby Showers & Mom to Be, Includes Peri Bottle, Nursing Gown, Disposable Underwear, Ice Maxi Pads, Pad Liners, Perineal Foam, Socks & Toiletry Bag

I got this kit expecting to deliver at a birthing center. I ended up at the hospital where they have some good after care things, BUT it was still very much worth having these Frida items. I had an episiotomy, so having these cleansing and pain reducing items was especially helpful What I loved most: the Peri bottle. It’s a million times better than what the hospital gives. It squirts upside down and is more precise in cleaning. Super gentle, but effective. The postpartum underwear. Very comfy, sturdy, and they provide full coverage. The hospital gives these strange fishnet material undies that don’t keep pads and cold packs in place as well. I ended up taking some home and using some there, but the Frida ones are way nicer. The gown and socks. Yeah the gown is big for many (one size fits most) but it’s comfy and I manage to make it work. I’m 5’4” and 130 at the moment. It’s definitely larger, but I make it work. the snaps are helpful for breast feeding and skin to skin. The gown is very soft, and it has pockets! The socks are thick, slip resistant and comfortable. The ones from the hospital are thin, scratchy and didn’t fit my 6.5 feet too well. I loved the healing foam. It’s cooling and feels nice. Items I felt “meh” about: cold pack pads. The ones they give at the hospital are the same. It was nice to have extras for when i got home. Perineal cooling liners: didn’t feel cooling or that great. I preferred the tucks the hospital gave, but ended up using both of these. I do wish this kit contained overnight pads, and numbing spray. These were given at the hospital, and I’m sure the Frida versions would be really great. Otherwise this was an amazing kit. Perfect gift for baby showers. Will buy again if I have another baby.

This kit is so much nicer than what you'll get at the hospital. The gown is very soft, and has snaps down the back like a traditional hospital gown, but it also has snaps on the front for nursing. The perry bottle included with this has an angled nozzle, and is easier to spray than the standard bottle. The pads and underwear are nicer than the standard hospital ones, and the icy pads that you snaps were life savers. This kit was absolutely worth it, and definitely made my recovery easier.

Someone gifted me this recovery kit for my first baby in 2022, and I am now rebuying it for baby number two. Although the hospital did provide everything I needed, having this on hand was so nice. I am an XL–1XL and the one size nursing gown fit me perfectly. The upside down peri bottle is incredibly handy and much nicer than the one the hospital gives you. The hospital did provide comparable disposable underwear, pad liners, and ice pads, but it was great to have my own supply once I got home. The carrying case it comes with is also SO nice and made everything easy to keep together. A postpartum mom could absolutely do without this kit, but it’s so convenient to make one purchase for all the items you would want postpartum instead of piecing everything together yourself.

I feel great about having this product ready for whenever I go into labor. It's nice to know that I won't be totally unprepared, no matter what happens (or when). I will update this review after baby arrives, as well. First of all, this came in a bigger box than I expected and was definitely heavier than I expected! I'm on modified bed rest but figured I could go down to grab this when it arrived at my apartment. For those of you who were told by their doctor not to lift anything heavy, you can probably get away with it, but you might want to have someone else grab it for you instead. The packaging was very nice, I think the products look great. I tried on the gown, socks, and a pair of the underwear and I think they will be nice! I still haven't decided if I want to wear the gown during labor or just put it on after, but I am going to wash it beforehand with Dreft, because I think that would be nice and out of the box I thought it smelled a little bit like disinfectant or something. It for just about right on me (195 lbs, 32 weeks pregnant), I like the pockets and the snap front for skin to skin. I was a little worried that the whole caddy of stuff wasn't going to fit on the back of the toilet, but it does! Even with the seat or lid up. But if you don't have enough space between the toilet and the wall, it might not work very well. Again, I'm impressed so far and I'll update after baby is born. Update: Baby Arrived on his due date, 9 lbs 4 oz! Here's my updated review of these products after using them. Hospital gown: I liked it a lot while in labor when I got to the point where I didn't want to be in my normal clothes anymore. It was easy to get an epidural while wearing it, and I wore it during labor and when he was born! It worked great for skin to skin afterwards, but it got so messy I knew I didn't want to keep it, so I had the nurse cut the shoulders of it so I could take it off with my IV still in, and I threw it away. I really liked it while using it though! Grippy socks: I did use them for a while, but I wouldn't say they are an improvement over any other hospital socks, except that they were only ankle height. I will say that they didn't fit well when my feet were swollen after labor though. Postpartum Underwear: I used these only when I got home from the hospital, they were great and comfy but I didn't feel the need or desire to buy more of them. The extras from the hospital and depends were great too. Ice Pack Pads: These are amazing, and I bought two more boxes of just these pads from Target when I ran out. They are such a relief when you are particularly sore and want something other than a normal pad. Witch Hazel Pad Liners: These are ok. The concept is cool, that they are long and cover the whole pad, but in reality they bunch up or fall down while you are pulling up the pad or while wearing it. I also found that I greatly prefer just buying containers of Tuck's and laying them along the pad. The name brand is so much better because the Tuck's pads are thicker and have more witch hazel on them and are more cooling. I did really like that this pack of liners is more portable than an entire container of Tuck's, so I keep it in my bag for when I go places and need to be able to change my pad. Witch Hazel Foam: I really liked this stuff! Extra cooling and soothing, and it felt like it got more into the nooks and crannies that were hurting down there, and helped everything feel better. There is a lot in one pump bottle, too! I would have bought a second bottle if my Target ever had it in stock. Angled Peri Bottle: I love that it's angled and you can easily reach everywhere with the water. I love that it can hold more water than the bottle from the hospital. I don't love that at 2 weeks postpartum, suddenly it seems that the bottle leaks or drips a lot near the spout. Still worth it though, and I still use it every time despite the drips. Carry bag: Love it for when I'm out and about, but I don't bring everything with me because I'm mostly just at home and don't want to keep packing and unpacking the things I need in the bathroom. I keep the hospital Peri Bottle in it with the witch hazel liners from this set, along with some maxi pads and some underwear or depends. Then I stuff the whole bag in the diaper bag and I can handle a bathroom trip when away from home.

This is honestly the best thing! The gown and socks were perfect and as many times as I went to the hospital during late pregnancy, it was nice having my own soft gown and socks. Everything else in the postpartum care kit was PERFECT! The ice pack maxi pads were incredible and felt so soothing. The perineal healing foam was helpful with cooling and helping to keep clean and soothe pain. The witch hazel pad liners were awesome and were loke Tuck's pads that were super convenient and easy to use on the go! Also, these disposable underwear are stretchy and 100 times better than the mesh crap they give you at the hospital. They are comfy and feel nice and breathable, and almost feel like regular boyshort underwear! Last but not least, it comes packaged with care, and comes with a NICE carrying case. The attention to detail is shown and it makes the moment of bringing a small bundle of joy into the world just a little bit easier and for that I'm grateful! So I promise... do yourself or a loved one a favor and get this! You won't regret it!

I could not be happier that I purchased this pack! I had a natural delivery with 2nd degree tears and this pack was a lifesaver during recovery. A few thoughts on the different items: 1) The peri bottle is awesome and the angled spout makes it hugely superior to non-angled versions. It was a must-have for me. 2) The disposable underwear were super comfy, and I found they held pads better than the mesh kind from the hospital. The downside is that they are not very durable and tend to rip when you take pads with sticky lining off. If you are very careful and/or do not fully remove the covering to the sticky part of the pad (so the sticky part is only 1/2 way stuck to the underwear) you can get several uses out of them. In retrospect I would’ve just bought a few more of these separately from the pack because even though they are not super durable I found them to be incredibly comfy. 3) The witch hazel foam was great. Early on when I could not bear to do any wiping, the foam was super gentle and cooling and I think helped my stitches heal faster (or at least made them more comfortable). 4) The witch hazel wipes were also awesome for stitches recovery and the (delightful... not) post-labor hemorrhoids. They are nice and long so they cover every part you want them to reach and they had the right amount of moisture. 5) Unfortunately I completely forgot I had the ice packs as part of this kit (had put them in a separate drawer) so can’t comment on them! 6) I loved the hospital gown because it was just softer, nicer, and covered more than the one they offer hospital. Great jersey fabric. Although it is one size fits all, I did find it to be a bit big (I am 5’2”) but not really a major issue. I wore it throughout my entire labor. The socks were totally fine, I just ended up wearing my own socks because I forgot about these in the moment. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this pack to any expecting Mom. Of all the items I purchased for myself for postpartum recovery, this one was by far the most valuable.

I am giving this product 4 stars because in the end I do feel these materials were unessary and not needed. Being a first time mom and being concered of caring for my body after delivery, I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. But turns out the hospotal provides you with everlything you need and more if you take it all home. The products are nice and I used them but wish I would have know that it was unessisary. The only thing I would recommend is the birthing gownd. I would definitely recommend buying that sepretly. As it was soft, comfortable and so much better than a hospital gownd.

If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money then here is your sign! I purchased this product and would recommend it for every mom to be. The disposable underwear are much more fitting and comfortable than what the hospital provides! The little squirting tool they provide helps you clean yourself off with every bathroom use if you don’t have a fancy bidet you can add warm water to it and it helps tremendously. The cooling pads for soreness the first few times. The foam cream to apply to each sanitary change it’s absolutely one of the best parts. They alap give you a little bag to add it to your bag for the hospital. And let’s not forget that extremely soft hospital gown!!! This things is much more comfortable on your skin during the birthing process than the one the hospital provides. Like I said if you’re questioning the purchase, DONT! It’s worth it. All of it.
