My bleeding/lochia is very minimal. Would it be okay to switch to high waisted panties and pads?

I switched about a week ago

I only wore as much as I needed. I switched to light pads after probably 5 days

I switched to regular undies and pads after about a week only cause I found it easier to wear the ice packs with the diapers. Once the swelling went down I switched to regular pads and undies. Do what you feel is comfy.

I swapped to panty liners and regular underwear at 2.5 weeks. I think it’s all personal decision! Disposable underwear are awesome too if you’re worried at all you’ll bleed through and ruin your pants

I switched to underwear and pads at 2 weeks

I switched after about a week to period undies (the kind with the built in pad) at night and just reg pads during the day. If I felt pelvic heaviness/swelling I would do a diaper with an ice pack for like an hour or so and then switch back.

I switched to the disposable panties and pads after 1 week because I ran out of diapers and
I had bought 4 bags, also wasn’t having much bleeding/swelling anymore and I got diaper rash after the 3 day wearing them tho I think it was the witch hazel liners that did that.
I’ll see if I can switch to regular panties next week (2w pp) but for me the problem is that my regular panties for period (black) don’t fit so those disposable have more room but are awkward for the pads. Also not sure if it happens to anyone else but my bleeding was almost gone and then the last 2-3 days I’ve been having on and off big gushes that sometimes passes through my pads.

I’ve been the same as you Juliet. Was almost down to nothing and the last few days have had gushes. I’m 3 weeks pp

I switched after I noticed my bleeding slowed down. I still wear the bigger pads in case but I’ve been wearing my maternity underwear with a pad

so weird and annoying, this can happen for weeks! 🤦🏻♀️
