Things that are good to have after giving birth
Giving birth is amazing, transformative, and charged with a primal force that is total. It is an experience in many ways, but the absolute best part is, of course, after the delivery when you get to take your newborn bundle home. Many pregnant women wonder what the time after childbirth will be like for them as new mothers. Our vision is to create a better everyday life for all pregnant and new mothers. We have given birth ourselves and know the challenges one can face in the early days after childbirth.

The early days after childbirth
Our pregnancy box can also be called the "postpartum box," but what does postpartum mean? It is the time that starts immediately after your delivery. Postpartum simply means "after childbirth" and is the period when the mother's body begins to recover and return to its pre-pregnancy state. A lot happens in the body right after giving birth, and during the postpartum period, metabolism and hormone production are readjusted. This is also when your body begins to heal, and it can hurt and be sore in several places.

How to choose the right size for your postpartum underwear
The underwear comes in two sizes:

XS – M: Hip measurement 75 – 135 cm
L – XXL: Hip measurement 115 – 160 cm

Use your pre-pregnancy size as a starting point when choosing your size!

Common problems after childbirth
Our pregnancy/postpartum box gives you 3 products that help you get through common problems that can arise after childbirth:

It hurts to go to the bathroom after giving birth
This is common after giving birth. If you had a vaginal delivery, you are probably both sore and swollen in the genital area. If you had a cesarean section, you have wounds that are healing and can hurt when you strain yourself too much. With the help of an intimate shower like our Plume Wash, it becomes easier to clean the genital area after childbirth.

The body changes during and after your pregnancy
During pregnancy, it is common to suffer from hemorrhoids and sore breasts, among other things. After childbirth, many also experience a swollen genital area, mastitis, or sore scars from, for example, a cesarean section. In our postpartum box, you get Plume's own Gel Pack, which works equally well as an ice pad and a heating pad. It is perfect for relieving pain and reducing swelling.

It feels like the bleeding never stops after childbirth
Whether you had a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, you will bleed for 6 – 8 weeks after your delivery. This is called lochia and is due to the uterus returning to its original size. Everyone bleeds differently, but one common thing is that no one wants to worry about leakage and uncomfortable underwear. That's why we have included our favorite, Plume Postpartum Underwear, in the pregnancy box. The underwear is stretchy, seamless, and comfortable, so you avoid chafing against the genital area or abdomen. They are also designed to hold large postpartum pads in place so you can feel completely secure and instead of worrying, spend time on yourself and your newborn baby.
