What are all using for our periods after the 6 week check?
Very much a menstrual cup girly, but of course couldnt use it after pregnancy, my post partum 6 week check (8 weeks) was god awful, wasnt with a doctor, I had a nurse tick a couple of boxes, check BP and weight, get emergency contraception (oops) so I genuinely didnt get a chance to ask (so surprised at how bad it was this time compared to my first) but i genuinely cannot keep using pads, they just make me feel so uncomfortable in multiple ways, so have you ladies started using tampons, discs or cups yet?

Period panties are so much comfier than pads. Have you tried those?? I haven’t bought period products in 6yrs. I have the cup (not recommended for about 3m pp though) cloth pads and period panties and for PP bleeding I used my period panties. They just feel like normal panties, just a lil thicker. Pads are so uncomfy to me but I love my period panties

I would have to agree with the period pants! The M&S ones have been great for me. I will sometimes wear a pad for an hour or two when I get up (always a little heavier first thing - gravity!?) then I find a couple pairs of pants a day do the trick!
