the tucks hasnt really helped. ot actually made me feel more uncomfortable. luckily, my pain is subsiding. thanks a bunch for the help though @pixiestix
tucks witch hazel pads honestly. they help with the discomfort and also help with healing! just line a few on your pad and you're good to go! also, dont wipe when you pee, just pat it dry. it'll decrease the chance of tearing. I can't remember how long it took me to heal, it's been almost 6 years since I gave birth. lol
