Best pads to use after birth?

Hello mommies!!

I am trying to get my stuff together for after I give birth and I am clueless on what type of pads to use. I have heard and read mixed things on here and I would love to hear what worked best for you. I did stock up one some depends for the first few days, and I have read that even with depends some women bleed so much they need a liner in it. So what should I go with? I also got tucks pads for after birth as that was reccomended to me. Anything else I need to know?

They give you pads at the hospital but right when you get home I would use Always Overnight w/ wings. That's what I used and they worked fine.Depends on how much you're bleeding.

POISE! Depends gave me a really bad rash on my thighs, my skin was coming off in chunks.

Poise pads are really cheap and incredibly absorbent. I bled forever after I had the bebe & had basically NO bladder control, I never leaked with those bad boys.

I used hospital pads and then always overnights with wings

I like my pads super absorbent lol

i didn't bleed bad at all....I used the extra long always pads....they worked fine except sometimes I would have to put two longways in my panties because if I would bend over or something I would bleed out the end of the pad. But those worked great for me...hope this helps

I didn't bleed to bad just for a really long time. I used the nighttime maxi pads. they are really long and thick. I liked the always brand they worked best for me. I also just changed them often as i could helped to not bleed through.

i used always over nights with wings too.... they are the best!

They give you some super maxi's at the hospital. After I got home I was good with the regular with wings and the regular overnight pads. I didn't bleed too heavily after the 4th day but it did last a while.

i used the hospital ones when i was in the hospital and when i got home all i used were pantie liners thats all i needed stopped bleeding 3 days afer i got home

I wore super absorbent adult diapers for the first week after my son was born...my hospital didn't give me smurf...After the first week I have just been using always super absorbent and they work perfectly...Tucks became my best friend especially when I am having pain down there...soaking in a bath has helped me but I am so sensitive down there that I have to use dreft when I soak...The doctor and hospital said that was fine...

over night with wings

I was in the isle at walgreen yesterday waddling back and forth forever looking at those damn poise liners. I'm so confused. I was always on depo before I got pregnant so Its been forever since I have bought pads.
They market all different kinds- which one did you use?

I was curious about this topic, as well... and....

Should I invest in great big white granny panties... for bleaching purposes?

The ones that they give you at the hospital are AWESOME!!! Just ask them for a bunch to take home they are usually very generous

I used kotex but that is the only brand I will use anyways.
