Peri bottles
Lansinoh Upside Down Peri Bottle
Our take
A Frida-style upside-down bottle that holds more water and lists its material (EVA). Some reviewers mention leaking, and it costs a little more.
Holds 12.2 ozEVA plasticCollapsible angled spoutTravel bag included
Consider instead: Frida Mom for the most-reviewed design.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Must-have Most hospitals send you home with one, but an angled one is easier to use in the first weeks after a vaginal birth.
Cost per monthAbout $8 a month over a typical 2 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Cheaper optionNinja Mama Postpartum Peri Bottle: About $9, scored 75 (Good).
Secondhand?Buy new. Buy new.
