  i bled for 4 weeks, but it was pretty light for the last 2 weeks.  I hear you about the pad situation, no suggestions though.

  I don't know what kind of pads you use but I find Kotex to be very comfortable. They are pretty soft.

  I bled pretty heavily the first four weeks and then lightly for an additional two. When my bleeding was lighter I switched to the ultra thin, I think it was Kotex brand, pads and that helped TREMENDOUSLY! I know how you feel! GL

  Always Infinity. 

  I bled for about 5 weeks.  The first 2 weeks was pretty heavy.  Then it gradually got lighter.  I used the Always Infinity pads and they are so thin.  I hear ya about the uncomfotableness of the pads so try these.

  About 3.5, 4 weeks...now it's just yellow-ish discharge, which my OB said is normal.

  I second Always Infinity.  They make a world of difference, very thin!

  Always Infinity!

  I only bled for about 2 weeks this time post c/s, and have had a mucousy pinkish discharge for the past week and a half. After my first c/s I bled for about 6 weeks.

  Another vote for Always Infinity.
  
  I bled for exactly 4 weeks. It tapered of at about 10 days, then came back.

  I only bled for a couple weeks, maybe 3? Then it was really light and stopped.

  I think I only bled for maybe 2 weeks (vag delivery) - but I spotted and "discharged" even now - at 9 weeks pp.

  I can also recommend the always infinity - I fought it (I'm a stayfree girl) but it really did help - I also switched to glad rags : https://www.amazon.com/Menstrual-Color-Cotton-Pads-Pack/dp/B0001ZZJQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354121018&sr=8-1&keywords=glad+rags

  If you don't mind the fact you have to wash them - the "Pad rash" I had was so horrible I was willing to do anything.

  I bled for about 4 weeks, spotted for an additional week or so. I had a vaginal delivery, no tearing or stitches.

  I bled for 4 weeks, but I also had an infection (endometritis).  Are you in any pain?  Passing clots?  If so, call your OB.  I had to take 7 days of 2 antibioitics.

  Also, Always Infinity pads ROCK!  They are the best.  Expensive but worth it.

  Baby # 1 was about 5 weeks.  With baby # 2, it looks like at 3 weeks it's pretty much just some light spotting now.

  I bled for a little less than 5 weeks, but I still have a weird yellow discharge, which I guess isn't a yeast infection or infection of any kind (I was checked at my 6 week appointment and it's all apparently fine).

  As for an alternative to pads, I wore Depends most of the time. I had the plastic-y ones, but I got a sample of the "more underwear" feeling ones and I loved those!
