Post Pregnancy Saviours from Elle’s Bliss

I’ve just had a baby myself, and I honestly don’t know how I would have got through that first month postpartum without Elle’s Bliss. Those early weeks after labour are intense, physically and emotionally and having gentle, effective products that actually support recovery made such a difference to me.

I used the Elle’s Bliss range of soap, massage balm and teas consistently for the month following birth, and I really felt the benefits. What I loved most is that everything feels clearly designed by people who understand postpartum bodies, whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section.

I fell in love with the story behind Elle’s Bliss it’s not just about individual products, it’s about holistic postpartum support. The brand was created with the real experiences of new mums in mind and is focused on supporting women through the fourth trimester and beyond, offering gentle, nature-inspired formulations to help ease recovery and nurture the body after birth. Their products are thoughtfully developed with natural, postpartum-safe ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals and tailored to soothe, calm, and support healing whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section. Elle’s Bliss understands that every birth journey is unique and believes in empowering mums with products that help them feel cared for and comfortable in those early weeks of motherhood.

Here are my top picks from the range:

Sana Massage Balm for Scars and Stretch Marks

Along with all the incredible moments of motherhood, my body went through some serious changes especially around my belly and hips where stretch marks and scars from pregnancy felt most noticeable. It’s designed to be used with daily gentle massage to help improve the appearance of stretch marks and any C-section scars, which is exactly what I needed in those early weeks.

The balm is formulated to be massaged in regularly, which not only feels lovely but, in my experience, encouraged my skin to feel softer and more comfortable over time. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section, this balm feels nurturing and supportive. I especially appreciated that the act of massage itself felt like a gentle way of connecting with my changing body.

While no product can magically erase stretch marks (they’re marks of strength!), I definitely noticed my skin felt more hydrated and the texture seemed smoother with daily use.

I personally used this balm every night after my shower and would do light circular massage movements over my lower abdomen and hips — it became a little ritual that helped me tune into my body’s healing process each day.

In the first month after birth, everything feels so full on, recovery, feeding, sleep (or lack of it) and skincare sometimes feels like a luxury. But this balm didn’t feel at all like an extra chore. Gently massaging it in became a moment of calm for me, and it genuinely boosted how supported my skin felt during recovery.

Even if you’re unsure about scars or stretch marks right now, using something like this balm can be a lovely act of self-care during postpartum. It reminds you to slow down for a few minutes, breathe, and treat your body with kindness after all it’s been through.

You can grab Sana’s Massage Balm for Scars & Stretch Marks on Amazon UK it’s super convenient to order directly, especially during those early weeks when popping to shops feels next to impossible. Just search for it by name on Amazon.co.uk.

Elle’s Bliss Mummy’s Comfort (Perineal & Post-Birth Care) Tea (my favourite from the three blends available)

I’ve learned very quickly how important small moments of comfort are, and Mummy’s Comfort Infusion Tea by Elle’s Bliss has truly been one of those little daily rituals that made a big difference for me during postpartum recovery. Designed specifically for new mothers, including those recovering from a C-section, this loose-leaf herbal tea feels like a gentle, nurturing hug in a cup. I started drinking it in the weeks after giving birth, and it quickly became a calming part of my routine, especially when my body felt unsettled, bloated, or in need of some digestive support.

The blend itself is beautifully balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The peppermint and ginger work wonders for digestion, helping ease bloating, trapped wind, and general stomach discomfort, which is so common after birth. The addition of nettle brings a nourishing, grounding element, while orange peel adds a subtle, uplifting citrus note that makes each cup feel refreshing rather than medicinal. It’s gentle, soothing, and genuinely comforting.

What I also really appreciate is that this tea is plant-based, plastic-free, vegan-friendly, and blended in the UK, which makes it feel even more special. It’s not just a postpartum essential, but also a thoughtful gift,  perfect for a hospital bag, a new-mum pamper kit, Mother’s Day, or a birthday gift for mum. Beyond postpartum recovery, it’s versatile too, offering support for digestion, relaxation, morning sickness, and general wellbeing.
