What to Pack for the Hospital

What should I pack in my hospital bag?

When packing for the hospital, choose soft, breathable clothing that will keep you comfortable throughout your stay. Bamboo pieces are perfect for this - lightweight, gentle on the skin and easy to wear. Consider including:

• Bamboo dressing gowns or robes for layering and warmth
• Supportive pants, culottes, or slouch styles for ease of movement
• Accessible tees and tank tops for hospital procedures or breastfeeding
• Cosy bed socks or slippers to keep your feet warm

Depending on the length of your stay, you may also want to pack your favourite toiletries an other personal items that help you feel relaxed. Choosing items that are soft, breathable and practical will make your recovery or hospital visit much more comfortable.

Best styles to wear that won't apply pressure to my stomach?

For comfort after surgery, childbirth or during recovery, choose styles that don't put pressure on your stomach, abdomen, or midsection. Our Bamboo Culottes, Softline Slouch Pants, Essential Pants and Luxe Wide Leg Pants are designed with soft, wide waistbands that feel supportive without digging in. Lightweight, breathable, and gentle on the body, these styles are perfect for keeping comfortable while allowing freedom of movement.

Best rest and recovery tees?

For comfort during your hospital stay or recovery, choose loose-fitting tops that won't restrict your movement or apply pressure to your upper body. Our Eadie Top, Relaxed Singlet, Relaxed Boatneck Top, and Bamboo-Linen Pax Tee are all designed with a relaxed fit, lightweight fabric and gentle stretch.

I'm visiting someone in hospital, what should I bring them?

When visiting a loved one in hospital, thoughtful gifts can make a big difference. Consider bringing something practical or something that brightens their day. Ideas include their favourite home-cooked meal, a bouquet of flowers, cosy bamboo bed socks, or a warm bamboo and recycled cashmere wool travel wrap.

These small gestures show you care while also helping your loved one stay comfortable and feel supported during their stay.
