HOW TO ZERO WASTE WHILE POSTPARTUM!
by Kennedy Hammond on Jun 09, 2026
Postpartum can be a complicated time. Blood, pain, pads, & diapers. I couldn’t think of a crazier recipe for disaster. & when it comes to waste? Forget it. It’s gonna happen. So have some grace with yourself & know that it’s not going to be perfect & do what best suits your bodies needs.
Here is a list of the reusable postpartum must haves I used this birth & I HIGHLY recommend them if you wanna go a lesser waste route during your postpartum!
REUSABLE DIAPER- these boxer briefs (also come in other styles) are full coverage & amazing. They have a thick waistband which works as a belly binder (somewhat) & helps you feel more put together post. They have plenty of space which allows you to lay a pad or padsicle down if needed. They’re PFA free, & pretty pricey so look out for a sale! https://periodaisle.com/
REUSABLE PADS- not only are these reusable but they work as FANTASTIC padsicles if you’re using! PFA free & you can pick your absorbency level you’ll need

REUSABLE PADSICLES- my husband grabbed these for me last second at CVS! They’re freaking awesome!! I definitely recommend these over the alternative pads that are throw away, filled with toxic chemicals & bleached. MUST GRAB! https://lansinoh.com/products/hot-cold-postpartum-therapy-packs
