I never thought I'd wear depends...until I got the flu 2 months ago and then got pneumonia from it I was coughing so hard I basically peed my pants all day for about 3-4 days then got so fed up I cried and had my husband buy a pack from the store best decision ever I will be using them for the bleeding after baby comes as weird as it sounds I felt so free wearing them while being that sick since I wasn't having to shower and change clothes every hour almost and you couldn't even see that I was wearing them lol
This is so embarrassing how forgetful I am but I did use Depends-like adult diapers my last birth. I was going through the closet today to see what stuff I still had from our last homebirth, so I knew what to order for this homebirth, and there are a couple adult diapers leftover. I seriously did NOT recall using them until now... but I did. Wow, pregnancy brain just went to a whole new level for me. This whole discussion and I just now remembered once I found the leftovers.

I used Always Infinity (super thin and absorbant) pads in the longest option after both births and never had an issue. Planning on using the same again.
I didn't read through all of the responses, so apologies if this is a repeat! I used Always Infiniti (make sure you get the Infiniti ones...they are REALLY thin) pads and they were amazing. I bought the most absorbent ones they offer and they were perfect.
Re: Pads or depends for after birth?
Thank you for this post.
