Disposable underwear

Hi everyone!
I had baby #1 in Nov 2024 and now due again next month. I had a random question on disposable underwear.
With baby #1 I remember I wore disposable underwear for a week or 2 while I was very heavily bleeding! I used to put a maternity pad on it too for extra cautiousness.
Now I remember my maternity pads were lilets but I cannot for the life of me remember what disposable underwear I had. All I remember is it was black

Anyone able to recommend there’s or perhaps know what I may have used??

Thanks

Frida mom ones are quite popular they’re the ones I’ve used before and have packed again! Xx

I'm a FTM but I have Lansinoh and Frida branded postpartum disposable briefs and boxer short styles

I’m a FTM how many disposable briefs should I expect to get through?

I got a couple of packs from Amazon. Came in packs of 8 or 16. Haven’t tried them yet of course but came highly recommended from a friend who used them

I’ve just bought some boots ones, think I used them with my first and second. I feel like I remember Always having some black ones?

I brought cheap men's boxer shorts with thick pads which worked very well and meant I could rewash them. Never got along with disposable ones.

I swore by the always discreet boutique, lived in them for about 3-4 weeks postpartum!!

I will be getting frida mom ones! Heard great reviews about them and my friends who have had babies recently used them too xx

I’ve got the Frida Mom postpartum starter pack from boots just working out how many more underwear I’m going to need

I’m going to use the Always freebie disposable ones that I got in the Emma’s diary pack

Then move to my Wuka period knickers, so I can wash and reuse as the bleeding gets lighter

I have just briefs and pads separately
Is that not enough? Should I buy the disposable underwear? It’s my first baby so I have no clue which is be better. Any recommendations?

Has anyone used these bottles?

Was wondering if anyone has used these and if they’re worth it? They’re around £25 a bottle but are meant to good?

What age should kids stop using a stroller?

Just came across a tiktok where moms were arguing what age a kid should stop using a stroller. This excludes kids with special needs.
What do you think?

Postpartum bleeding

When did everyone's bleeding stop? I am 3 weeks postpartum and everything bleeding wise settled after 1 week. Since one week I have worn a pad throughout the day as ive been having discharge similar to bloody show. MW wasnt concerned when i told her last week however, today I had some lower abdominal pain and have then had some red blood on wiping. Is anyone similar?
