First time Mom

I used the frida maternity pads and they worked for me. It’s just whatever you’re more comfortable with!

Pads but Honestly keep asking for the underwear the hospital provides. Just keep shoving packs in your bag if they don’t say anything cuz they were the most comfortable with a pad

I found the diapers felt more 'safe', especially in the first few days but turns out I'm allergic to them, so I'll be using pads this time around.

I'd advise taking both!

Diapers for sure. I used Always overnight period diapers that worked great.

I used a diaper for the first week just for ease and then after that used pads x

i used frida mom disposable pants with maternity pads inside. they were super comfortable and kept the pad secure so i had no leakage at all x

With my first I used pads and with my second I used diapers. The diapers were wayyyyy more convenient and they were actually quite comfortable. I would recommend diapers in the beginning and pads after a week or so once the bleeding is less.

I liked the diapers but I bought/brought my own nice quality ones to the hospital. It was nice not to have to worry about underwear lol

I used maternity underwear with pads inbuilt and thought it was enough x

1000% diapers then pads when I felt the bleeding was better (about 2 weeks later for me)

Diapers girl

I used the postpartum panties for the first week and then pads

First 5 days frida mum disposable pants and then a maternity pad, after 5 days bleeding was like a small period so i just used normal underwear and period pads x

I used the frieda mom underwear then a massive pad inside that for the first week.. just depends on your bleeding !

Diapers

I preferred pads. I wore a diaper once and realized I’d have to take my pants (I’m not a dress person) off each time to change a diaper. When using a pad I could just rip an old one off my underwear and slap a new one on.

I bought loads of both and preferred the pull-ups if that’s what you mean by diapers. They were sooo comfy. At the start when bleeding was heavy I’d wear 2-3 of them and then when I go toilet, just rip the sides, so that you don’t have to take your trousers off. Dirty one comes off and then the clean one you can pull straight up. Pads just didn’t work for me, I leaked out the sides of them and stained every pair of underwear & leaked on to my clothes.
Plus just uncomfortable if they move/bunch up x

I used the pads from the hospital for the first few days when I was bleeding heavily. Once the bleeding lightened up a bit I used the Always period panties. Super comfy and never leaked through. Looked like I was wearing actual underwear. Plus side my husband thought I looked sexy in them which helped a lot😂
