Sakuya Bloom Strips™

I had my second C-section in March and the scar felt tight and raised. I started using these about six weeks after, once my doctor gave me the go-ahead.

It's the only thing in my routine I've kept up with because it takes ten seconds. The area feels softer now and I'm not constantly aware of it.

Honestly I bought these expecting nothing. I'd already tried two creams that did zero.

What sold me is that I could wear it under my clothes during the day and nobody knew. A few weeks in and the colour has calmed down a lot.

With a newborn I have about four minutes to myself a day. This fits into that. I wash it every couple of days, let it air dry, and it sticks right back on.

Way cheaper than the single use ones I was buying at the pharmacy.

My scar caught on my waistband constantly and it drove me nuts. The strip acts like a soft buffer so I stopped noticing it.

It also just looks smoother than it did. I bought a second pack for my sister who's due in the fall.

I'm three years post-op and figured I'd missed my window. Still worth it. It's not magic and it wasn't overnight, but after two months the ridge is less obvious and I stopped avoiding mirrors. That's a big deal for me.
