Hospital Bag Mesh Panties

kanda0820 · June 2013

At our preparing for childbirth class today they had a pair of mesh panties that didn't look horribly comfortable. I've heard you can bring cotton briefs to the hospital and wear those instead. Have any STM bought underwear to take to the hospital in the past? How many sizes larger than I typically wear should I purchase?

I loved the mesh panties while I was in the hospital. They really were the best thing to keep the big ol bad in place.

Once I got home and no longer needed a massive pad I switched to cotton briefs.

I actually liked the mesh undies they provided and it saved mine. I brought home my unused pair. A friend ended up using them when she came home with less pair than I did. Don't count them out!

Those mesh underwear are fricken awesome!!! I took home as many pairs as they would let me.

Ditto. My hospital had me in a giant maxipad/icepack combo and the kept pushing all these medicinal sprays and creams that felt awesome. There isn't room in regular undies for all that business. In a few days, when I was home, I went back to cotton.

I'm a FTM, but I've had to use the mesh undies after some surgeries and I promise they are comfy!

The mesh undies were awesome. No lie, I even used them when I got home for a bit!

Loved the mesh panties. That is what I will be wearing.

The mesh undies are SUPER comfy, but I'm also going to bring some boy shorts as well.

I liked having my own underwear in the hospital. I think I used the mesh undies the first day because that was the messiest day but the next day I just wanted normal clothes and underwear. I will bring my oldest and most stretched pairs that can be tossed if needed.

The mesh ones aren't uncomfortable, even though they look like they are. When you have a huge pad plus an ice pack in there, they rock.

Once I didn't need the ice pack anymore, I just wore cheap cotton briefs in a size up and wore those.

After my miscarriage I took 4 pairs of those mesh panties home and wore them for the full 6 weeks of heavy bleeding. It was fantastic. They didn't dig anywhere, they held the huge pads I had to wear in, they wash/dried fast, and if they got too gross I had no problem throwing them out. I have 3 pairs left and am planning on grabbing a couple more at the hospital.

Those mesh underwear were great after birth! They have so much junk in your underwear.... Huge pad, ice pack... It is like you are riding a horse! So yeah, they are fantastic.

This exactly! I was so sad when I had to go back to regular underware.

This was me too. I took many pairs home. They were so light and happy and I could stuff big scary pads and ice in there and when they got blood on them I just threw them in the trash.

I love me some big a$$ mesh panties!

I hoarded all the mesh panties I could and almost cried the day I used my last pair. That was a few weeks after being discharged, I'm embarrassed to say. If they sell them in bulk I am going to stock up this time around!!

MrsNyberg09 · June 2013

I took my own cotton ones in I could not stand the mesh ones so I wore them the first day and never again

macdidlyicious · June 2013

Yep those mesh undies are the sh!t. I too grabbed as many as I could. And the ice pack/pad combos too. Those were AMAZING.

Rachey1082 · June 2013

They're awesome!! The mesh panties are the best!!

Yes

I got cheap "boy short" type cotton underwear because they felt more comfortable. The first time I used the mesh underwear and it was fine, I just felt more "dressed" with real underwear. I didn't go up an underwear size during pregnancy, so I just bought the same size I wore.

lisamoe · June 2013

I brought Hanes granny panties, but totally opted for the mesh panties they supplied in the hospital.

They were comfortable, stretchy and didn't have to worry about ruining them!

HannahsHope · June 2013

Don't knock the mesh quite yet! They r awesome!!!

Alex+Noah · June 2013

I read somewhere that you can buy them at medical supply stores. I'm definitely go to price them and see if its worth it.

this. If I wore something different, it would have been ruined.

Yep, good with those meshies here, too!

I think when I left the hospital I may have worn regular underwear in whatever size I wore pregnant. But in the hospital I wore the ones they provided and they were fine. All modesty sort of goes out the window when people are checking you down there constantly and mesh underwear aren't nearly as uncomfortable as the after effects of childbirth.

This! Loved the mesh undies not sure I could have fit everything in my regular undies. It's a show down there for the first couple of days!

This. I cried. If you find them in bulk somewhere, please let me know. I'll pay you in chocolate.
