Frequently Asked Questions

What products should every new mother have in her postpartum recovery kit?

A basic kit should include maternity pads, a peri bottle, nipple cream, cooling pads, and comfortable recovery wear. These essentials help maintain hygiene and ease discomfort during healing.

When should I start using an abdominal support band, and for how long?

You can start using an abdominal or belly band once your healthcare provider approves, usually a few days to weeks post-delivery. Use it for gentle support, not compression, and avoid prolonged tightness.

I had a C-section — what extra care do I need?

C-section recovery needs gentle movement, incision care, and comfort support. Opt for breathable, high-waist underwear, scar-care ointments, and abdominal binders to promote healing.

What nursing or breastfeeding support items should I consider?

Nursing bras, breast pads, gel cooling packs, and nipple creams are essential for comfort. Zepto also offers lactation teas and accessories to help enhance milk flow and prevent soreness.

Is a peri bottle necessary after delivery?

Yes, a peri bottle helps clean the perineal area gently without irritation. It’s especially helpful after vaginal births to prevent infections and maintain hygiene.

How many postpartum recovery kits should I buy?

One comprehensive kit is usually sufficient for the first few weeks, but it’s useful to keep refills for maternity pads and creams as needed.
