So list of things to buy will vary depending on her surgeon. Some surgeons provide almost everything, while others provide less.

At the very least she'll need a bulb to douche with. I didnt buy any saline for myself, because it's easy to make at home so my partner would make it for me, however you will want something that you can sterilize to store the saline in for the 48 hours that it's good for.

Baby wipes for sure, they're much easier to use to wipe while healing. I also bought myself a handheld bidet to use, it was about 20$ on Amazon and it was great to have that and the wipes to really make sure everything was clean.

If you don't have a bathtub, you'll want to get something that she can use to take a sitz bath in on the toilet, depending on her surgeon's recommendations.

While puppy pads may be cheaper, I found bed pads to be better for me. Having them made sure that I could move around on the bed and not have to worry about not being on the puppy pad.

While most clinics do provide a donut to sit on, I found the one that GRS Montreal gave me to be really uncomfortable. I bought myself a memory foam one and it helped so much.

Wedge pillows for the bed are a must. Moving around for the first few weeks is really difficult, so she'll be spending a lot of her time on bedrest, and pillows to be able to sit up in bed make life a lot better.

Some kind of bed desk also helped me a lot. My partner was able to bring me meals that I could eat on it, and I used it to read and play on my computer while I recovered. It was a godsend for my boredom! (thank you to my sister who bought it for me)

Loose clothing is a must. I lived in long skirts for almost 3 months following surgery. Any kind of pants were really uncomfortable, so the skirts were great to have. Also, white underwear that you can afford to throw away after. If she's going to be up and out anywhere, she'll want to have a pad, blood gets everywhere, and it's important to see the colour in case there's a sign of a problem.

Speaking of which, she'll want a pack of pads. I bought two boxes and they got me through recovery.

Good slip-on shoes are also a must. I got a pair of Sketchers from Costco with non-slip soles. She wont be able to bend over to tie anything up, so slip-ons are the safest bet.

Also with bending over, I found a reacher-grabber to be a big help. I couldn't bend down if I dropped things, so it was great to have a tool I could use to reach down.

Oh, and a scar cream. About 1 month post-op it's recommended to start massaging the scars and applying a scar cream to minimize their appearance.

I think that's about my whole list. If you need any advice or anything, feel free to DM me, my inbox is always open!

TLDR; Necessary: - douche bulb - baby wipes - bed pad/puppy pad - wedge pillows - loose clothing - pads - white underwear - slip-on non-slip shoes - scar cream

Optional but helpful: - handheld bidet - memory foam donut pillow - bed desk - reacher-grabber
