I use depends

I didn't use diapers once I left the hospital. They are so uncomfortable. I just used heavy pads.

Depends was better for me cause it holds alot of blood and I slept better..using a pad not gone hold long with a lot of blood

I used my heavy flow period undies I already had. They’re cotton, and super comfy. I just rinse under my feet when I have a shower, wring them out then it goes into basket to wash. In hospital I used their pads w my normal undies but that’s because they checked twice to see if I was bleeding okay/not clotting etc.

If you have a c section I highly advise staying away from the always discreet ones. Everyone recommended so I bought a ton- they’re like a semi plastic material and CONSTANTLY got stuck in the sticky residue left from the surgical tape when they took the dressings off. It was horrible and so painful. I did use the disposable Frida mom boy shorts and they were amazing. After a week I just used heavy pads

The assurance post partum underwear was what I used! Was super helpful with how much blood I lost and the clots.

I’m glad it didn’t happen to you! It was awful and so painful constantly having to pull pieces off the tape around my incision 😖 I saw you said you used Depends, I was talking specifically about the Always Discreet ones. Everyone said how great they were so I stupidly bought SO MANY only to have them not work for me 😵💫
