I bought a few cheap packs of Hanes Undies (the granny panty addition!) in one size up from what I would wear pre-pg. They were great in holding all the pads/icepacks/tucks and I didn't care about taking care of them since they were so cheap and I only wore them until the bleeding stopped.....then I tossed them!
I hated the mesh panties with a burning passion!!! So thankful I tossed a few pairs of my cheap grannies in my hospital bag! I already bought 2 new packs the other day at Target when they were on sale so I am good to go.
The hospital will give you some, that was enough to get me through the time I really needed them, although I believe you can also buy them at medical supply stores and well stocked pharmacies!

They will give you tons of mesh undies at the hospital! I really only needed to wear them for a few days because my bleeding was pretty minimal, but I continued for a little over a week anyways.
I'm a VS girl, so I will not wear those. I went to Target and bought a package of the biggest granny panties for postpartum. I'm gonna be so sexy.

I bled a ton ad for weeks. I just stopped when I had my 6w appointment. I didn't have enough mesh undies, plus regular ones were more comfortable and less sickly feeling.
All of you relaying on the mesh panties my friends an labor nurse and hospitals are now rationing the mesh panties to 3 per patient ... At least in s fla
I wore the mesh ones from the hospital for the few 4 or 5 days until my bleeding was under control (it was super heavy those first few days). Then I wore some cheap granny panties (Haynes I think) for the rest of the time (I stopped bleeding at about 10 days) I still have the underwear, so I'll try to get some mesh ones again just reuse the regular ones since I haven't touched them since last time.

Ditto the bold! I was so happy someone told me to do this! I could wear "normal" undies but I could've cared less if I bled on them!

I've never worn them, but the feel of the mesh undies just on my fingers makes my skin crawl. I plan on taking my rattiest comfy undies and just throwing them out after. I need new ones anyway :
RE: the mesh panties. I was wearing them in the hospital after my c/s (you still bleed with a c/s- WTH??) and had to pee rather urgently. I pulled down my drawers and ripped a staple out.
I swear that was worse than the actual c/s. I'm wearing old granny panties, TYVM.
Re: Disposable underwear for after delivery
I told DH I was going to start sleeping in them in case my water breaks in bed, haha.
But, I'm not buying any post delivery. I'll just wear my maternity undies, since I don't plan on using them again.
Big Ol granny panties are probably going in my cart today when I go to the store!
Not worried about disposables right now but all I can think about are comfy underpants!

This is exactly what I did as well.
