Always infinity for pp?

anyone use always infinity in the hospital? I am wondering if they would be absorbent enough or if I have to deal with the super thick things they give you.

You can bring your own pads, but the first 48 hours you bleed REALLY heavily.  Atleast this was my experience, and I was almost glad to have the hosp pads.

You could find yourself changing the Always pads a lot more often which may be a burden depending on your recovery.

I agree with this. The first few days you bleed really heavily, in fact I used the thick pads for almost a week after delivery and then switched to the Always Infinity.

I would definitely have the Always Infinity stocked at home but I would not bother bringing it to the hospital.

I completely disagree with the other posters, I found always infinity much much better than the hospital pads! I change into them after a few hours of birth.  I bring the extra long over night ones to the hospital, I think the huge ones at the hospital move way too much. I leaked with them but not always.

I'd rather change more often than sit in my own blood in those HUGE pads the hospital provides. I might wear the huge ones at night, but during the day when I have visitors, I'm bringing my Always Infinity pads.

I loved the "peach pads" from the hospital as well as the mesh underwear (call me weird..)

I had a c-section so the mesh come up way high and don't interfere with the incision, or put any pressure anywhere on my stomach. The "peach pads" are big and absorbent enough that you don't have to worry about accidents or leakage..

Even when I came home I bought overnight "depends"-like pads to use, which are similar to the hospital peach pads.

It all depends on how heavy a flow you will have, but I found I'd rather have more protection than I need than not enough and have an accident.

While in the hospital, I used what they gave me. When those ran out on the second day, I switched to Always Infinity. You could use the Always from the start if you really wanted to, but I'd at least ask for one of those waterproof pads they have to put under you in the hospital bed.

I would just use theirs. Those first two days are heavy. You really wont be likely to care how big they are but I used Always Infinity Wings at home and thought they were great.

My point is that if someone is having an above average painful or complicated recovery, the need to change a pad more frequently could be an unnecessary burden.
