Scar patches / tape in UK recommendations ?

Hi all - I am potentially going to get a C section and I’m prepping for recovery. I’ve read the frida mom knickers are the best and belly band. But what tape or patches would you recommend? I’ve seen some tape on Amazon ? And any other recommendations for recovery welcome!

Keep moving as much as possible (obviously don’t hurt yourself) If there’s any way you could get a pico dressing (definitely ask) then they are amazing. Keep up on the painkillers, especially the first week, even if your not sore take them x

I second the pico dressing it worked great! Definitely keep on painkillers for a few weeks after even if you don’t feel sore as it will hit you when you’re not expecting it. Plenty of rest after but make sure to still walk about throughout the day even just at home walk around the room. Definitely keep on top of laxatives as being constipated is the last thing you need to be worrying about. Keep your scar clean and dry(cold setting on hair dryer or fan after shower) and once it’s healed I recommend silicone tape, I just got mine on Amazon. I just used big pants with lil-lets maternity pads for the first few weeks until the bleeding stopped. I hope everything goes smoothly for you! Xx

There is a group on Instagram called csectionUK and they have just done some really good posts about recovery and silicon patches and which ones they recommend.

I have some tape off amazon and it works really well, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09C5XWYQH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
