Jersey Shore star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi LaValle recently reached out to her fans for help on what to buy following her upcoming hysterectomy.
The 38-year-old reality star, who was diagnosed with stage one cervical cancer on February 20, showcased her haul of an abdominal band, constipation meds and a weighted heating pad in a TikTok video Tuesday.
'You guys know I don't like pain, and I want to be cozy and comfy, and I needed recommendations on how to, like, recover the best way after my hysterectomy,' Snooki - who boasts 37.4 million social media followers - said.
'If I'm missing anything, mamas, anybody who has gotten a hysterectomy with the big cut, please help. I don't want to feel pain. If you know me, I'm a baby.
'I don't like pain. I don't like any type of uncomfortableness, and yeah, I just, I don't like it. So obviously, I'll have, like, some pain meds and stuff.'
Hours later, the married mother-of-three returned to TikTok to show off the oversized underwear and variety of large T-shirt dresses she purchased from Walmart.

Snooki went on to explain why the doctor plans on performing her surgery as an open abdominal hysterectomy (similar to a C-section) rather than the less invasive laparoscopic using a tiny camera.
'If [the surgeon] does it [laparoscopically], there's a nine percent chance that he doesn't get all the cancer,' the Chile-born guidette said.
'So he's got to do the C-section cut to get everything out. So that's what we're dealing with, and that's what it's got to be. And I know the recovery is, like, way worse.'
Snooki's cancer battle began on January 20 when she revealed that doctors found cancerous cells on top of her cervix after having abnormal pap smears results for the past four years.
The It's Happening podcaster then underwent a colposcopy followed by a cone biopsy.
'Obviously not the news that I was hoping for,' Snooki said on February 20. 'But also not the worst news, just because they caught it so early.'
The Snooki Shop owner continued: 'The oncologist said you can either do chemo, radiation or the hysterectomy. Obviously, I think the smart choice here is the hysterectomy.
'I'll still keep my ovaries, which is a good sign, but the hysterectomy, got to get the cervix [out], the uterus out and then possibly lymph nodes, because it can [spread there].'
The Daily Mail has reached out to Snooki's rep for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
