What kind of pads will you use after postpartum?

Curious on what kind of pads you will use for after delivery. I'm not sure what kind to use.

I used the hospital pads while there but used Always Infinity with wings when I got home. They are thin but super absorbent. Planning to do the same this time.

I prefer Always long overnights for post delivery. They're not incredibly bulky like some brands, and the extea length provides some added protection

The hospital pads were great I thought - they gave me a bunch! Since running out I am using the Kotex U brand! I always loved them and they are working fine for me! I am using the heavy flow and overnight pads. They are working great for me.

Extra long and winged cotton pads. The maternity pads are just not as absorbent and are way too bulky

I took all the pads from the hospital because I like "free" stuff. After those ran out, anything extra long with wings and overnight absorbancy was preferred.

this. i didn't get as many from the hospital with DS1...I plan to hoard a bit more this time.

Something "ultrathin with wings" (Carefree or Stayfree or something?) I don't really like the overnight ones because they go up so far in the back. But then again I think most of the heavy bleeding I had was the first few days when I was in the hospital so I used their pads. Their maternity pads are HUGE though!
