It is possible to resume sexual activity, generally after 3 weeks or even a month after giving birth.
In addition, certain materials can irritate sensitive skin. To avoid this, it is recommended to use cotton underwear. After giving birth, menstrual panties can be a great ally. Gone are the not-so-glamorous nappies, and these can be used to collect discharge and bleeding, also known as "lochia". So you can be totally serene. It also considerably reduces vaginal odor. Its sexy design and its cotton and bamboo fiber material ensure comfort and protection. In short, you'll never leave it. A reusable sanitary napkin can also be ideal for protection.

And this applies to all types of childbirth, even without tearing.
As you can see, the postpartum period is not to be taken lightly. Certain products, such as menstrual panties or pH-neutral soaps, will ensure care and serenity. It's up to you!
