As a first time mom I was so overwhelmed with prepping but this made everything easy and streamlined for the most intense days postpartum. I will be getting this every pregnancy- just be sure to get the peribottle too!

I didn’t use every thing tbh but I used the underwear and put pads in it… I didn’t tear so I didn’t need to use the other things.

Love the caddy and undies, wasteful packaging
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
UPDATE:
I am now 12 weeks postpartum. My rating stands. I’d probably give it 3.5 realistically, but I’m rounding up in Amazon’s whole stars rating system because I think we need more companies thinking about raising the bar when it comes to comfortable postpartum recovery and I love that Frida was one of the first to get the ball rolling on that.
All this said, some products were better than others and overall, I feel that the kit is overpriced. I suggest waiting for a good sale on Prime Day or Black Friday as I did, or putting it on your registry. To save yourself money and avoid wasting product, I recommend trying each item one at a time alongside hospital-provided items, so you can get a better gauge on how you like each item individually and possibly opt for other products. Frida’s list of directions incorporating every product is a way to get you running through their products faster so you need to re-up sooner. If you’re a FTM, know that the products you use and the order in which you use them will change as your postpartum recovery progresses. I found some of these products more useful at different stages and some were a complete bust.
Here are my thoughts on each product:
Undies (1/5) - These were the first things I raved over as a clueless preggo, and the least useful thing in actual recovery. Nothing stayed in place. The adhesive padsicle was too heavy and didn’t actually adhere to whatever material is used in the undies. I had the same issue with lighter pads provided by my hospital. When products shift with your natural movement, the underwear can’t hold them in place. I do wish I had a pair to try towards the end of my recovery when I was fine with just a spritz of Dermoplast or a dollop of the perineal foam and just needed a light pad. At that point, I was down to a few hospital-provided mesh undies and I would’ve loved to see how Frida compared. By that point, I wasn’t willing to shell out the money.
Perineal foam (5/5) - Love the smell, nice lightweight feel, and very gently cooling. Not a big shock to the system like the padsicle or witch hazel pad. I don’t recommend just putting it over the witch hazel pad as recommended. Use a few dollops underneath as a sort of “glue”, as the pads tend to slip around. Works great with the small round witch hazel pads you get at the hospital too. Draw a long line across the pad, smooth it out, then place a line of rounds across. Later in your recovery, apply to your hand and rub directly on the perineum. ???????? I will say - Dermoplast is better than this foam as a product to layer on top of the witch hazel pads. This stuff is already witch hazel in a lighter foam form. Great for “connecting” the stronger liquid witch hazel products, but use as instructed and you’re just putting witch hazel on witch hazel.
Padsicles (3/5) - The crack-apart feature is more convenient than homemade ones you freeze. I wish I had taken a few to my hospital because I don’t feel they provided enough of theirs and I wouldn’t have had to worry about finding a space to keep them cool. That said, they are VERY cold. Even with a witch hazel liner, the coldness is too jolting. Plan on having a ratty washcloth to place over it for a few minutes. Also, they are super heavy. If you’re about to sleep or sit for awhile, it’s fine. If you’re needing to move around, it’ll be very cumbersome.
Witch hazel pads (4/5) - Sure, it was convenient to have one long pad stretch across the whole liner rather than little pads that shift around. That said, this sucker shifts around too. As mentioned above, it helps to have Frida’s perineal foam adhering it along the ends or a pad slightly shorter than the liner so that it can be tucked under.
——-
I have not yet delivered, so I can’t comment on the effectiveness of the products. I will say that I’m a plus size woman (5’6”, 240 lbs) and the pair of undies I tried on fit very comfortably over my thicc thighs, big butt, and 26 week belly. I can only imagine how nice they’ll feel postpartum. I also love how that cute caddy has a place for everything. There’s a little extra room for any other supplies provided by the hospital too. Be aware that the famous upside-down peri bottle isn’t included, but honestly, you can find inexpensive copycats if you’re not into the one the hospital provides. Better yet, get a bidet with a female setting! Great for cleaning up after sex too. ;)
Deducting a star because the amount of packaging involved (pictured) was so wasteful. You know that scene in The Emperor’s New Groove when Yzma schemes about turning Kuzco into a flea, putting that flea in a box, then putting that box into another box, shipping it to herself, and then smashing it with a hammer? I think Frida’s shipping department took a page out of Yzma’s bad idea book.
I will update after I give birth in the fall and have a chance to use the products, but for now - 4/5

Many people say you don’t need to buy these items because you get them at the hospital but I completely disagree. These are way better than what you get at the hospital and I get this for every new mom I know. Worth putting on your registry and buying for yourself.
