Depends for labor

These were SO MUCH BETTER than the huge pads. I went into labor early and unexpectedly so I had to use the huge pads at the hospital and it was miserable. Was thrilled to put these on when I got home 😂. I didn’t even use a full pack.

I used these snd loved them!! So comfy and if you’re bleeding extra heavy just put an extra pad in them , I lived in mine for 3 weeks and wore XL

I’ve got two packs of these but plan to use them for as long as I need to start with- it’ll certainly save on the washing and I’ll be able to just dispose of them along with babies nappies in the nappy waste bin system so no smells either

I didn’t use these or any other - I used the leakproof underwear called Proof from shopproof! Super comfortable and holds a lot of liquid! Such a game changer

Never heard of them I’ll check them out thank you love. 💗

I used the hipsters from proof and they were fantastic! And I continued to use them for my periods too soo definitely a win!

So if your usual size of panties is M (I’m 22 weeks now) - what size should I buy for when packing for hospital?? X

Ah Nisha! Thank you! I’ll make sure to follow up! Xx

I was wondering that also. I know with my first son everyone said for the pads and panties for after baby (because I didn’t know about the depends then) to buy only one size bigger then normal size and that worked for the most part but I’m not sure about the sizing of these. I’m thinking of getting a l, because I’m usually a m too. I feel that that will be okay maybe. I’m 35 w today so I’ll find out any day if that works, so if nothing else check back in with me and I’ll let you know lol. 😉

Can you use these with a c section

4 replies

That’s a great question too! 🤔 hopefully Someone is able to answer that too just in case.

Yes I did! They’re great because they come up high and over incision

I used one large package and a smaller package from target. I liked these a lot better than mesh panties. I used them at the start of my labor (my water broke slowly) and through labor as well as after when I got home and I had a c section and it didn’t bother the incision

I didn’t use them waste of money for me i used just the mesh undies from the hospital and large pads it was a lot more comfortable for me

1 pack I used

I bought one pack but didn’t go through all of them. It depends on how heavy you are bleeding. I was a medium before I got pregnant and large fit fine after!

I used around 2 packs, they were absolutely amazing after both my c-sections, not having to try and align that giant pad inside mesh underwear while avoiding my stitches was great! I just sized up to make sure they wouldn't be tight on my incision

I’ve got these too, I’m normally small so bought medium for after birth. Slightly prettier version of what is a essentially an adult nappy 👍😂

These and tucks pads were amazing! You line the inside with a few tucks and it’s saved me ☺️

I wore depends and also lined them with a pad so I didn’t have to throw away a depend every time I used the bathroom.

Just ordered the Mama Earth spray. How'd that work for you?

Weren’t comfortable. The pads that have at the hospital were more comfortable and they were free

I used 2 packs for postpartum

I loved these for my PP bleeding, I used 1 pack but I also used the mesh pantries & pads from the hospital. Then I used these with a pad so I could get more uses out of it. Only used it solo towards the end of my PP bleeding which lasted 5 weeks overall for me.

I only used a pack and they are WAY more comfy

I used these for the end of my 7 month pregnancy. I had a placental detachment and had discharge for about 2 weeks. I went through a pack and a half between that and my two week healing time. For a normal pregnancy you should need just one big pack. These are the best.

So I bought so many packs of these (literally like 8😂) and I defo only needed maybe 2/3? But they were so comfy and I didn’t fit back in my pre-pregnancy underwear so I just kept wearing them until they ran out😂😂

I went through three but I was bleeding HEAVY.

I only used one pack! I loved them they were so comfy lmaooo

I used one pack of 9

Only needed maybe 4 but just wore them until the ran out

Loved using depends! I went through almost a whole pack with each kid (3 total), I bled a shorter amount of time with my 2 younger though.

Use them!!!! I didn't my first and it was a game changer with my second. I went through one bag.

I used 1.5 packages.

I loved these. I had pads in the hospital and had pads at home for like a day. Then said screw everything and got these. Seriously the best investment and if I have another I would get them again. I bled heavy and for like 4 weeks. I had major tearing and stitches though. So my situation wasn't necessarily normal. I don't think I ever saw a 20 pack in Target though. I think mine were 10 or something along those lines. I went through alot though. I'd personally buy two packs to be safe.

Yeah the ones I found in stores at a 10 pk, but I just posted this pic so everyone knew exactly what I meant lol. It seems better to buy them off Amazon because it’s a bigger pk

I went through two.

I went thru half a pack

I just gonna get one to start then if i need more the store just down the road

That’s what I’m thinking too.

I went through one and a half packs of these. They are amazing! I was laboring in a pair too and they caught all of the fluid when my water broke. It was like a movie scene amount of fluid and a pair of these saved my carpet at home!

Why do you need pads

1 reply

Cause you’ll be non stop bleeding for about a week afterwards xx

I went through one small pack. I only wore them at the hospital really. I thought regular pads were more comfortable but it was nice for a bit when I wanted to fit an ice pack in them.

I bled a lot after birth, had some complications so not an uncomplicated delivery. I ended up putting a pad inside the depends so I could change it regularly and kept the undies on longer. Usually went through two pairs a day because I’d put on a new pair after a shower and I showered twice a day for the first few weeks.

I had complications after my son too with lots of bleeding, that was another reason why I was curious about them too.

I used 2 big packs and it was the easiest most comfortable way to get through postpartum! I absolutely recommend it and will do it again with my next

I used 1 pack my sister in law actually told me about using them and I'm so happy she did. They were really comfy and I would rather use those instead of a huge pad!

I only had to use a 1 1/2 packs. Absolutely comfortable! I also bought the ice pads and witch hazel pads. Made life so much easier!

Half pack but I ended up having a C-section. Not sure if it would be different if I had a natural birth...

I used these in Feb after my caesarean and they are much more comfortable than maternity pads. I got through one pack of 12 pants. I still kept using the second pack though as found the cushioning on the pants was nice to cushion my scar.

I just used my regular pads.

Depends are also great if your water breaks!

I used a pack and a half... so I guess buy 2 🤷‍♀️ definitely recommend though!!!

Don’t spend money on the is just hoard the ones they give you at the hospital. These ones are expensive and the ones the hospital are just as good

I used these i thought i was going to actually bleed more but it was light. The good thing was that i didnt gave a fat pad irritating me. Also helped because had terrible hemroid after giving birth and that was less friction.

I used 2 packs! I actually liked these better than the hospital pads. I didn’t have to soil any of my underwear and they were more comfortable in my opinion. Definitely recommend.

I personally prefer the U by Kotex Maternity pads. I brought these and they made me itch. I have sensitive skin though

That’s actually one of the things I worry about as I have chronic eczema

I flared up and my midwives on women's ward actually explained the material can rub which flare up ezcema. I didn't bleed much after my csection since I have thick blood (hyrdocalusima?) So I lived in U by Kotex Maternity for 10 days then super for the last 10 days until I stopped bleeding

1 ☺️

I used 2 packs after my c section.

I used them they are so much better trust me these are a must
