My sister has endured a traumatic birth. Her baby in ICU and she’s not allowed to stay in hospital due to current restrictions. So a lot going on.

She had to be cut and as pain relief wears off - extreme discomfort.

What can I buy to help? What can she do?

Any guidance be appreciated.
Thanks

Spritz for bits is amazing I healed great from my epi, I soaked myself and my thick boots maternity pads in it and it was so soothing.
What a lovely sister you sound.

I second the Tena pants, but actually used them with maternity pads. Meant any leakage off the pad was caught and, more importantly, gave another layer of padding. I preferred the cheap pads with them rather than the ones with wings. If also not change the pants every time I changed the pad so the pants slowly disintegrated but not too much.

I had a plastic jug by the loo and each time I went I popped a few drops of Tea tree oil in some water and kind of rinsed down there.
