I know I have heard recommendations on the types of pads to get for after delivery but I cant find any of those old posts. Please post your recommendations here!!

Always Overnight!! Get the thin ones, they do just as good as the thick ones without all the bulk!

The first week I used regular thicker pads I took from the hospital. Then after a week when my bleeding was lighter I used the Always Infinity and Stayfree (nighttime ones with wings). Anything for nighttime is probably your best bet. I'm 3 weeks post partum and I'm just using small panty liners now.

The ones from the hospital! I asked for another package and they lasted until I could use the regular ones I used to use, which are Always. I havent purchased them in so long, I cant remember what type! lol.

This exactly. Don't buy the bulky ones, you won't want to wear a diaper! I didn't bleed that heavily, it started like a heavy period and after 4-5 days was like a regular/light period for maybe 1-2 weeks, then just spotting for another couple weeks.

I used Always Infinity- the overnight ones for the first few days as the flow was heavier and then the regular after that. Also get pantiliners for when it thins out- lasted a few weeks for me with just slight bleeding/discharge.
