I used this for about a week postpartum! It's more compact than a typical donut cushion, but it has good resilience. I've given birth twice, and this is definitely better than a cushion filled only with cotton, as it has the right amount of firmness. The cover feels nice against the skin and can be washed, so you can keep it clean. I am not offering any discounts, so I will not respond to such comments. Thank you for your understanding.
