U by Kotex is the only pad I ever use, for me period and for pregnancy/postpartum. They have nice thick ones that are very comfortable

The always maxi nighttime pads, theyr purple. Also look up padcicles. They were a lifesaver and so easy to make

Always classics with wings

I used StayFree pads after I gave birth. The thick ones with the flaps!

@salogogo, I tore a bit during delivery and I swear I wouldn’t have known it because they truly did help a lot. The Witch Hazel heals, the Aloe soothes and the ice numbs so it’s just great. I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully postpartum goes a lot smoother for you this time!

@amomandherbug, thanks i will definitely try because i didnt do that with my daughter. Plus i had complications down there and took forever to heal i was miserable pain killers didnt help just ice packs i wish i have known than im praying this time around will be much easier

@salogogo, Girl, Padsicles are the absolute BEST! You take a pad, spread on Aloe Vera gel and Witch Hazel and stick it in the freezer. Whenever you need to go to the bathroom, get a new one, change it out and you are good to go! The reason I got Depends was to help contain some of the drippage as the padsicles melt down a bit and it worked wonderfully! I will send you the link to the official recipe. I swear they cut my healing time in half and eased so much pain down there ☺️

@amomandherbug, what do u mean by made them and froze them?

I got the cheap ass Wal-Mart brand ones lol they were huge I didn't know anything about pads so I just got one that reminded me of the hospital ones.

U by Kotex overnight maxi pads are good !

I used Always diapers. No leakage.

I totally got Depends AND Always Overnight pads. I made frozen padsicles with the pads and just stuck it inside the diaper and boom! Comfiest thing ever and I never had any “leakage” 😬😬😬😂

Always has the extra thick overnight ones that feel like the ones the hospital gives you. You can also try depends, they are easier than pads
