I was given this pregnancy care kit to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I recently had my second c-section and brought this kit along in my hospital bag! Overall I think it is a good value and has a few standout items that definitely deserve a spot in your hospital bag. The upside down peri bottle with extendable neck and travel pouch is an essential and worked really well for me. I also preferred the disposable underwear from the kit to the hospital provided option. The material is nicer and less irritating on my skin. I liked the brief cut for more comfort. (For sizing, I wear a large in pantsโthese fit a little snug so if you wear a larger size than me, they may not fit comfortably.) The stand-out item for my hospital stay was the grippy socks! They were super comfortable and so much better than the terrible double sided grippy socks the hospital gives you. They made me feel more like myself and less like a patient! My scar is too fresh to use the silicon strips but I will use them when readyโan essential item for any c-section scar! The belly cream is also a luxurious touch that Iโm not ready to use yet, but it smells nice. The only item I thought was unnecessary was the cool packโit is shaped like a pad and more geared toward vaginal delivery, which I assume you already know you wonโt be having if you are in the market for a c-section recovery kit. The only thing this kit is missing is a belly binder, which I can see is available as an upgradeโas someone whose skin is easily irritated by the hospital issued band, it would be worth the upgrade to have a nicer belly band!
Absolutely love these leggings. They provide great belly support and are nice and thick. Iโve worn and washed mine many times and havenโt seen any pilling.
Unfortunately, I have varicose veins due to pregnancy and have to wear compression stockings to be comfortable. These tights are a life saver. They are hard to get on, but comfortable once on and really decrease leg swelling and pain from the varicosities. I have two pairs that I rotate and they are holding up great. If Iโm wearing a dress, then I just wear the tights by themselves. Otherwise they fit nicely under joggers and leggings too. I am 170lbs, 5โ 8โ in my 3rd trimester and I sized up to the L to have a bit extra room. I also have a M and that pair is tighter but still fits. For earlier in my pregnancy, the L would have probably been a bit too big to get the proper compression.
I am a 60 year old rather chesty girl and needed something to help with under the breast sweat. After buying inexpensive items on Amazon that did not help, I decided to invest in this bra liner and I'm so glad I did! Worth every penny! Stays in place, not irritating to skin and comfortable! I wear a sports bra so the part is the middle doesn't really help me but I can definitely see how it will if I wore a traditional bra.
So glad I followed my midwife's recommendation to get this.
I normally wear a little extra support during the 2nd/3rd trimester of pregnancy and this time around I needed a little more. I wear this mainly at home just because of the bulk it is over clothes.
Iโve been wearing compression socks for years because of my job. These are definitely the most comfortable pair because of the scalloped cuff. It doesnโt dig. Theyโre a touch long (Iโm 5โ2โ), but I recommend them.
I am so thankful to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me the c-section recovery kit. As a third time c-section mama, I knew what was coming with recovery on top of a newborn. What I didnโt know is how helpful this kit would be during the weeks following delivery. The Belly Bandit provides so much support while keeping me held in place, easing pain on my healing stomach. The tightening cream goes on so smooth and is great with my sensitive skin. I actually really enjoyed the disposable briefs in my first few days with the softness and comfort.
Supper comfy and shows your curves
These leggings do such a good job of pulling in my postpartum belly. Not only does the belly appear smaller, but I also get some relief. It actually feels good to have the compression. This pregnancy itโs taking me longer to heal so Iโm four months out and Iโm still using these leggings and Iโm so thankful for them!Today somebody completely random not realizing that they were a postpartum legging commented that they were very cute. I got them in navy blue.
I was given this pregnancy care kit to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it literally came to my doorstep the day I got home from the hospital after having my fifth baby. Let me just tell you, theyโve thought of everything!!!
My favorites of the bunch are the cooling pad, peri bottle and my most favorite- the belly cream (the warming element is so nice for sore postpartum bellies).
This would be a great gift for any postpartum mom!
I received this kit as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and absolutely loved using it while navigation postpartum recovery. This kit would make the perfect gift for any expecting mom and is full of products that make recovery so much easier. Some of my favorite products were the peribottle, the belly tightening cream, and the healing foam. The peribottle was so much easier to use than the one given at the hospital. The tightening cream has already helped my stretch marks start to fade and improve. The healing foam provided instant relief and decreased healing time compared to my first postpartum. The only thing I didnโt love about this kit was the disposable recovery underwear because I felt like they were too tight and uncomfortable for recovery. I think having different sizes would help as these could have just been too small for me.
Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for this postpartum kit to test for my honest review. Post c section I felt so unlike myself and this was the perfect combo of everything you could possibly need to help you getting back to yourself. The belly band gives you the extra support you need and the belly rub helps keep everything tight and moisturized. The scar gel was perfect for once my steri strips fell off to help with my scar. This is just for c section mamas!
This set of postpartum recovery essentials was fantastic. Value-wise it feels like you're getting a lot of high-quality items for the price. I feel like anything you might need and want while healing postpartum is included. My favorite item was the Silicone Skin Defense patches. It feels like I'm having a self-care night when I use them, a little bit of luxurious me time. I also love that they're reusable!
I got a lot of use out of most. of the items, especially the healing foam, peri bottle, socks, and underwear so far. I haven't used the Luxe Belly Wrap but I'm excited to put it on. I also like the toiletry bag that it comes with, I'm going to get a lot of use out of that. The only thing that I've had to get myself was a pack of disposable postpartum pads but the kit has everything else I've needed to heal and pamper myself postpartum.
I would definitely recommend this kit to friends who are about to give birth as it's been so nice to use myself.

This BellyBandit kit is definitely a must buy for a new mom's post partum care. I had a C-section and have used every single product in this care kit. The disposable underwear are my favorite. They are just a but thinner than other brands. However, it allows them to be more seamless under clothes, and they still have better compression than competitor's. They are also a higher rise and hug the belly more, which was great for my C-section support.
The socks are so so soft and cozy. The peri bottle allowed me to have more control over my wash and to avoid water hitting my scar gauzes the first couple of days. The belly tightening cream is buttery soft and moisturizing and I really hope to see results soon. The re-usable cooling pack and foam are a great combo and definitely give the needed relief.
And the cherry on top is the handy to-go toiletry bag it comes in. It feels very good quality and is very sturdy, without being too bulky or feeling like everything is going to fall out.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pregnancy care kit.

I absolutely loved this kit & itโs a must have . The disposable underwear are a great firm but stretchy material & help hold everything in place . The socks are also wonderful the material is nice & thick & they stay on perfectly. The scar defense sheets helped with the itching I wish I used these with my past 2 c sections . The pouch itself is a great size & fit perfect into my hospital bag. If you havenโt already add this to your cart cause it will definitely help!
This kit was a total gift to survive the most vulnerable part of postpartum. Thoughtfully designed with us mothers in mind, itโs packed with everything I could ever needa or ask for in my C-section recovery. The abdominal binder basically saved my lifeโit offered incredible support while my spine and muscles were relearning gravity and it made moving around caring for my newborn so much easier.
I loved the variety of items included to heal my body with scar care essentials to soothing pain relief tools, all so deeply appreciated and needed for recovery. The high-waisted underwear is absolutely needed.
This kit was so well curatedโI will not have want for anything else. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing the opportunity to test out this lovely C-section kit. I wholeheartedly recommend: it's reliable and assurance everything will be okay again. Itโs the ultimate care package for a challenging recovery journey.
A bonus, I very much enjoy the carrying tote bag, it's just the right size for disappearing all the things you need. Probably my favorite on the go bag by far.
I was really impressed with the Belly Bandit We C-You: c-section recovery kit. With my second c-section recovery, I found the essentials in this kit to be a game changer compared to my recovery the first time around without it. The upside down peri bottle made keeping things clean so much easier than the standard bottle provided by the hospital. I also loved the disposable briefs which were so flexible and comfortable for recovery. The kit offered great essentials and I am looking forward to using the c-section scar defense strips once I am a little further along in the healing process. The gripper socks were a great product for both hospital and home, providing a comfortable stretch and soft material but also safe for slippery tile and wood surfaces. I received this kit from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and would purchase again for myself and my friends.
I received this kit as a part of the Stellar product testing panel. This is my first pregnancy and my first C-section. Everything I googled for after care, this kit has it. I am very impressed with the quality and small details this kit has. I truly love how compact it is and how everything fits in it seamlessly. This bag will be a part of my hospital essentials on my scheduled date. The price matches what you will pay individually per product - I actually believe you will pay more if you bought everything separate. My favorite items are the belly band, scar defense, recovery briefs and lastly the cute bag that says โmotherhood looks good on youโ. I would definitely recommend this kit to a friend and or purchase it myself for a baby shower gift since these types of items are often overlooked.
Love love love this kit! It arrived a little after I gave birth and there hasnโt been an item I havenโt used. I love the belly tightening cream since Iโve giving birth and I feel like my skin is already starting to show changes. Definitely will be gifting these in the future to friends for their baby shower gifts. I received this pregnancy care kit from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
