My Chosen Confinement Set

I've been searching the suitable confinement set  for me for quite sometimes. At first I just wanted to follow my other pregnant friends to just buy Set Bersalin Anugerah but after some google, I found out that it is better if we just buy item that we will definitely use. In Set Bersalin Anugerah, it includes Minuman Kesihatan Ubat Bijian Anugerah which I think I won't use it since I already plan to buy Shaklee Confinement Set for vitamin supplement. And no jamu for me please, hehe.

So I settled for other confinement set which is Tanamera. I bought the loose set only since from review, I read some of the item in the confinement set is not necessary and most people don't even use some of the items. The example of items that people don't normally use are Lavender Floral Water (RM36), Herbal Tea and Binder (since most people already have it). While Calming Herbal Paste (same purpose like Pilis) and Firming Herbal Paste (same purpose like Tapel) are quite essential, they can't be bought loosely, we have to buy it together with the whole set.

So my solution is to find other alternative that serves the same purpose (but of course cheaper!). For that I chose Sari Ayu products, Param, Pilis and Tapel Sari Ayu.

Here is the picture of my confinement set.

As mentioned, for inner body supplement, I chose Shaklee Confinement Set with the additional of breastfeeding set. Inside the set, there are B-Complex, Vitalea, Zinc Complex, Osteomatrix, Alfafa Complex (small), Chewable Vit C plus and ESP. Total cost for all this? RM354. My husband bought this set from his colleague.

For Tanamera set, I only chose a few of its items.

1. Feminine Herbal Wash RM26.50 (in loose set, there are only 12 sachets, compared to 14 sachets in the whole set of Tanamera Posnatal Set)

2. Herbal Bath RM26.50 (same as above, only 12 sachets)

3. Brown Formulation Body Soap RM15 (people said this soap can get rid of black marks and pigmentation around our neck, armpit etc.)

4. Herbal massage oil RM33 (this soap is made of virgin coconut oil, so if you see there is precipitation in the bottle, worry not, just soak it in hot water)

5. Cold Press Virgin coconut oil RM34 (this can act as selusuh, nearing the delivery (37 weeks and above), we can drink this one spoon day and night, and also apply it onto your perineum area to help reduce the tear during delivery). Insyaallah.

As for Sari Ayu, as mentioned above we bought the Param, Pilis and Tapel Sari Ayu. Why are all this so important? Pilis can reduce the headache (apply this onto your forehead), while Param can help in  blood circulation (apply this onto your whole body) and Tapel can help in firming your stomach (apply this onto your stomach  before you wear the binder). The cost for all this? RM45.

Total cost for outer body confinement items ? RM170! We got cheaper than the exact total price RM180 since we directly bought this loose set from the shop. What shop? Keperluan Ibu Berpantang shop. Which located inside the Giant Taman Permata, Hulu Klang. This shop is located in front of Avon. Sometimes, the owner is not around, so make sure you call first before you come to Giant. You can also find this shop in facebook, just type Keperluan Ibu Berpantang, where you can also buy online.

If you wonder, I don't buy the Boreh Body Scrub because it serves the same purpose with other body scrub (I guess). I will just replace the Boreh Body Scrub with much cheaper body scrub (i.e lulur). Haha.

Oh yeah, I already have binder. Two sets of binder, traditional and modern.

Okay, I think that's all about my chosen confinement set.

Wish me goodluck.
