Pads Question!!

S2BMrsO

What kind of pads have you bought for yourself to stock up on for water breakage/after birth?? How much did you buy??

Curious so I can go out and start getting a few things.

I asked this question a while ago and the majority was Kotex or Always with wings.  So I went out and bought a pack of Always w/ Wings Overnight Protection.

I haven't bought any yet, but get the thickest most absorbant ones you can find.  I know last time I took all the ones I could from the hospital and when I ran out of them, nothing I could buy at the store worked as well.  I had to change them really frequently and had a few messes.  Yuck.

Definitely a fan of the ones w/wings. I personally liked the always Long-Super ones. If you can find "long" ones, definitely grab some. Less messy.

I used what I took home from the hospital for a few days, then switched to my Kotex ultra thin with wings for a few days, and then pantyliners.

I was actually advised to buy disposable underwear instead of pads.  My hospital doesn't give pads out, so someone I know said buy the disposable underwear instead.  So I'm gonna go look for those and then if I can't find them, I'll use depends for the first couple of days until it's low enough to wear regular pads.  That way too you don't leak over everything you are wearing.....

I bought cheap Target brand...I stole a bunch of industrial size ones from the hospital last time and plan on getting more this time!

I actually didn't have heavy post partum bleeding last time.  A regular pad was fine.  I bought Always with wings -- the long ones, and they were more than sufficient.  I'll probably do the same this time.  I still have some of the gigantic pads from the hospital in my cabinet from DD's birth, since I never used them.

Even though I didn't bleed heavily pp, I can say I was using pads/pantyliners for a loooooong time pp.

YES! Steal as many as you can from the hospital because you won't find those kind or even close anywhere.
