Mommy’s Toolbox
Here is a list of items that I recommend for your own self care.
For the Aches You Don’t Talk About
Bed Buddy Microwavable Heating Pad
My go-to for natural, targeted relief—before and after birth.
Pregnancy comes with its share of aches, tension, and sleepless nights. The Bed Buddy Microwavable Heating Pad is one of my favorite self-care tools for soothing those common discomforts—especially in the lower back, shoulders, neck, and hips.
This soft, flexible wrap is filled with natural grains and provides moist heat therapy—which penetrates deeper than dry heat for long-lasting relief. Whether you’re easing sciatic pain during pregnancy, relaxing tight muscles postpartum, or just need a little comfort at the end of the day, this is a gentle and effective choice.
You can also use it cold for swelling, soreness, or tender joints—especially helpful in the postpartum healing phase.
Sit Easy, Heal Gently
Carex Inflatable Donut Cushion
Support where it counts—especially after birth.
After delivery, sitting down can be a challenge. Whether you're healing from vaginal birth, dealing with tailbone pressure, or just need a little extra support, the Carex Inflatable Donut Cushion is a simple and effective tool I often recommend.
This cushion is designed to relieve pressure on sensitive areas, including the tailbone, perineum, and lower back—making it especially helpful for postpartum recovery, hemorrhoids, or sciatica. It inflates easily, travels well, and conforms to your body’s natural shape so you can sit with comfort—at home, in the car, or on the go.
💛 I like that it’s discreet, affordable, and easy to tuck into your routine as your body heals.
Get On The Ball, Momma!
Trideer Extra Thick Yoga Ball
A simple, supportive tool for pregnancy, birth prep, and beyond.
A good birthing ball is one of my favorite essentials to recommend for expecting moms. The Trideer Extra Thick Yoga Ball is sturdy, safe, and incredibly versatile—whether you're using it for labor prep, daily posture support, or gentle movement during pregnancy.
This ball helps relieve lower back pain, opens the pelvis for optimal baby positioning, and promotes gentle bouncing and swaying to ease tension. It’s also great postpartum for rebuilding core stability and even works beautifully as a seat to improve alignment while nursing or rocking baby.
What I love most about this ball:
💛 Non-slip, thick material for safety and stability
💛 Safe for pregnancy (no harmful chemicals, no sudden deflation)
💛 Comes in multiple sizes and includes a pump for easy setup
Whether you’re stretching, relaxing, or preparing for labor, this is a tool you’ll come back to again and again.
Soak, Soothe, and Heal
Carex Sitz Bath – Over-the-Toilet Perineal Soaking Bath
Postpartum recovery isn’t always glamorous—but caring for your body with intention makes a world of difference. The Carex Sitz Bath is one of the simplest and most effective ways to ease perineal discomfort, especially after a vaginal delivery, episiotomy, or hemorrhoids.
This over-the-toilet soaking basin fits most standard commodes and offers soothing relief with warm water. I often recommend adding a little Epsom salt, lavender, or baking soda to help reduce swelling, promote circulation, and support healing in sensitive areas.
It’s discreet, easy to use, and an affordable self-care essential for moms navigating the early days of
Sit Smarter, Mama
C Cushion Lab Pressure Relief Seat Cushion
Whether you're working from home, recovering postpartum, or spending long stretches feeding your little one, how you sit matters—and this cushion makes a world of difference.
The C Cushion Lab Pressure Relief Seat Cushion is designed by ergonomists to support your hips, tailbone, and lower back during extended sitting. Made with extra-dense memory foam, it redistributes pressure, improves posture, and helps prevent that all-too-familiar “legs falling asleep” feeling.
💛 I love recommending this to new moms who are feeding, rocking, or just resting—especially those recovering from birth or experiencing sciatica or tailbone pain. It’s a simple upgrade that makes every seat a little more supportive.
Perfect for home, car rides, office chairs, or anywhere you’re sitting a little longer than you'd like.
Happy Feet, Happy Mama
Yamuna Body Rolling Foot Wakers (Gold)
Your feet carry everything—your body, your baby, and the weight of it all (literally). Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or just on your feet all day, these Yamuna Foot Wakers are a game-changer for relieving pressure and restoring balance.
Designed to stimulate circulation, support reflexology, and ease foot tension (especially for things like plantar fasciitisor general soreness), these half-ball rollers help release the deep muscles of the feet and ankles. I love recommending them to moms who feel ungrounded, tense in the lower body, or in need of a reset after long days.
💛 Use them barefoot at home—standing, seated, or gently rocking on them—to improve posture, balance, and overall foot wellness. They're a small investment with big returns.
Support Starts Here
UpSpring C-Section Tummy Control Panties
Recovering from a C-section takes time, patience, and the right kind of support—literally. These UpSpring Postpartum C-Section Panties are one of my go-to recommendations for moms looking to heal comfortably and confidently after surgery.
Designed with gentle, upward compression and a built-in silicone panel, these high-waisted recovery panties help reduce swelling, support the incision area, and may even soften the appearance of scarring over time. Best of all—there’s no Velcro, no sticky strips, and no bulky shapewear.
💛 I recommend them because they’re easy to wear, great for all stages of healing, and actually make a difference in how your body feels throughout the day.
Whether you're just a few days into recovery or several weeks out, this is a product that meets your healing journey exactly where you are.
Gentle Relief, One Roll at a Time
OPTP PRO-Roller – Super Soft Density Foam Roller (36")
Your body goes through so much during pregnancy and postpartum—and this extra-gentle foam roller is one of my favorite ways to help moms release tension, improve circulation, and reconnect with their bodies.
The OPTP PRO-Roller is softer than most foam rollers, which makes it ideal for beginners, sensitive tissues, or anyone easing back into movement. Whether you're using it to massage tight hips, open up the back, or improve posture, it’s a safe and soothing tool to add to your self-care routine.
💛 I love this roller because it's long enough for full-body support, made from durable (and easy-to-clean) EVA foam, and gentle enough to use daily—even if you're just starting your recovery journey.
Perfect for stretching, Pilates, physical therapy, or a little much-needed "me time" on the floor.
Stretch, Strengthen, Restore
5-Piece Latex-Free Resistance Band Set
Gentle movement is one of the most powerful things you can do for your body—especially during pregnancy and postpartum. This latex-free resistance band set is a simple, effective way to stretch, rebuild strength, and support healing at your own pace.
With five different levels of resistance, these bands can be used for everything from light mobility work to physical therapy, Pilates, and core re-engagement. I love that they’re latex-free, soft to the touch, and easy to pack—great for home, travel, or postpartum recovery on your terms.
💛 I often recommend these for improving posture, reconnecting to deep core muscles, and gently regaining strength without pressure. They're ideal for moms, physical therapy, or just a few quiet minutes of intentional movement.
