The lovely people at Carriwell have brought to my attention something that could be added to a new mummy’s hospital bag if they do not want to splash out on Marks and Sparks Granny knickers but do not like the thought of paper pants either. Carriwell have the most ingenius and economical compromise.

Carriwell Hospital Panties

Carriwell Hospital Panties are:

Economical; can be washed up to 10 times;
Endorsed by leading childbirth educators & hospitals;
The excellent breathability adds to the wearers comfort;
A snug supremely comfortable fit to secure the pad effectively;
Perfectly suited for caesarean recuperation – allows scars to breathe;
Manufactured specifically to hold large incontinence & post birth pads in place;
A pack contains five panties which will last most women for the time of heavy flow.

I am sure that they will not be for everyone but actually they make perfect sense to me particularly for when actually in hospital after the birth. When I gave birth to Esther and William they would have been perfect to ensure that my scar was able to breathe. And I know that my sister could have benefited after her c-section with Toby.

Perhaps not the most glamorous addition to my hospital bag but practical and comfy and sensible too.

Thank you Carriwell.
