A Guide for a Pregnant Woman
Pack toilet paper for the delivery
Good things to keep in mind before childbirth
What should you pack in your hospital bag?
If pregnancy has drained your energy, we won't drag out the answer until the third paragraph. The most important thing to pack in your hospital bag for delivery is soft toilet paper!
Becoming a parent is something not many of us do many times in life, a lifelong responsibility and adventure. It's exciting, fun, scary, and perhaps even completely crazy. It also doesn't help that your hormones start taking over and you find yourself eating from the third jar of pickled gherkins for the day.
So, if we try to put ourselves in the situation you're facing to prepare for this challenge you've taken on, we definitely have some essential items that should be in your hospital bag.
Packing list:
A difficult but important task
Give yourself a thought too
Even though the tiny, fragile creature that is born will need your absolute full attention, it's important that you think of yourself when you pack too. It's not just your not-yet-born baby who will be at the hospital for a few days.
A flying start
Okay, you've gotten through childbirth – congratulations!
You've just performed a miracle, but let's be honest: your body is now in recovery mode and the last thing you want to experience is the reality of healthcare's massive cutbacks to stay within budget. Yes, the toilet paper, thin, scratchy, and nothing a legend like you should have to use. Let's talk about why soft and luxurious toilet paper should be at the top of your hospital bag packing list
A soft start to motherhood
Your body and intimate area have been through enough
Childbirth is like running a marathon, but without the running shoes and with a new human on your chest instead of a medal around your neck. After that feat, the last thing you want to subject your poor backside to is rough and scratchy paper. Hospital paper is probably good for… hmmm, wiping up baby puke? But your post-baby bum deserves VIP treatment! Think soft, think fluffy, think wiping yourself with a soft little cloud – you deserve it.
Small bundles of assorted
Post-baby projects: Hemorrhoid edition
Ah, hemorrhoids – the unwelcome guest that sometimes comes home with you and the baby. With a bit of bad luck, you might get a few souvenirs from childbirth, and dealing with them requires really soft paper. The last thing you want is to have to deal with these unpleasant little pouches with something that feels like sandpaper from the hardware store.
Take it easy
Mummy screams
Have you heard of "mommy screams"? They're those little, internal screams you make every time you have to do something that reminds you that you've given birth. Using soft toilet paper significantly reduces these screams. Having to gently dab to avoid unnecessary pain is not something we want anyone to have to go through – so why not go all-in on fluff and comfort.
We say stop
The hospital's paper isn't the vibe
We're not just saying this because we sell toilet paper. This is actually true. You've just survived childbirth. You've navigated through contractions, tears, and the joy of becoming a parent. Your hormones are going wild. Now you deserve to be pampered, not punished with the hospital's "functional paper". Soft toilet paper isn't a luxury – it's an absolute necessity to keep both body and mind in check after childbirth!
When need has no law
Have a roll ready!
When you're there at the hospital, sore in more places than you knew existed, you'll thank yourself for packing soft toilet paper. So, when you pack your hospital bag, don't skip the toilet paper. And your butt will thank you extra for buying doodop!
And don't forget your favorite snacks!
