Ladies what worked better for you for after birth? pads or adult dipaers?

I used the ginormous pass the hospital gave me

Pads*

I used pads as well. I think they were the Always overnight ones. They were super thick so definitely for a heavy flow

With my first they only gave me 2 of those and I used pads after that but I just wanted other mom's opinions

Diapers. Absolutely.

Depends all the way!!

Lol, I bought depends because that’s what my sister said helped her as well, 🙂

@peppa. They never sent me home with those they gave me 2 in the hospital and then a bunch of little ones I ended buying the always overnight ones with the purple packaging

I’m literally wearing depends right now because I have the paragard and my periods are so freakin heavy. I don’t have to worry about leaks or ruining underwear.

Depends with pads inside !

@mswedes @momofemersonbliss seriously thinking about just buying diapers because I won't have to worry about leaking

I picked up diapers.

@natcasey9, I used the depends with the pads because it

Helped with after birth and the peeing when I sneezed . The pads caught everything so

I didn’t constantly feel wet

@natcasey9, plus the felt like regular underwear without

Ruining my actual underwear

@momofemersonbliss good to know thanks

@natcasey9, no problem !

@peppa. Lucky lol

@peppa., our kids are only a few months apart and I remember seeing your updates with your first. Had no idea you’re expecting again. Congratulations!

@natcasey9, my husband was more than happy to buy them for me. I think the possibility of leaking blood made him nervous lol

I used the hospital pads but I would do the diapers next time around.

Postpartum cloth pads

The mesh hospital panties with their giant pads. They gave me a ton to go. Then i used the largest always pads

I did just fine with the Always Overnight heavy. The ones in purple wrappers.

L. Maxi pads from target and cloth pads.

@techie_grrl yes I used those after my first and they worked ok

Overnight pads and adult diapers to PP. I had to use adult diapers when i hemorrhaged, I bled through a normal thick pad, my undies, my jeans, thick towel and on my passenger seat, in FIVE mins!!! (2w PP). and i regret not using them after birth haha

This pic is my adult hospital diaper (my belly button looks weird from having to remove my body jewelry lol)

And make PADSICLES!!!!!!!
