maternity pads

Just wondering what the best brand of maternity pads are and about how many i will need, i have noticed that they only seem to come in packs of 7 or 10 which is damned stupid if you ask me as some women would probably go through that in just over a day.

I used the budget ones from pak n save(were great)$2 for about 20

I used Libra goodnights for the first couple of weeks and then switched to just normal regular pads and then Liners as it got less and less. Not sure how many you will need but the goodnight ones are always handy to have around when your period comes back to use at nightime. Actually I even used them during the day during my first period because it was reasonably heavy and I felt more comfortable.

first time around i had a post partum heamorrhage and bleed reasonably heavy for a while i cant remember what brand i used (i did get some from the hospital and used them for a while, but didnt like them as they didnt have wings) i bleed for almost 9 weeks i think (long time) but by the end i was only wearing light flow pads. second time i hardly bleed (mind you i was given drugs to make my uterus contract quickly to prevent another heamorrhage) was less way than a month. but i cant be much help because i cant remember the kind i preferred and how many etc.... get a few packs and then buy more if needed.....

I used the libra goodnights at night and just normal super during the day.yeah they are rediculously priced for such a small amount of pads u get grrrr we should write and say "hey u dumbarses, dont ya have any mothers working at ur company cos we use 7-10 pads over 2-3 days post-partum!!!"

I was like Aimee - used thew stayfree ultra (matress size ) the first few days and then moved on to Libra Goodnights which were great! Also see if your midwife might give you some from the hospital... I got 2 packs and she also gave me something to lie in my bed under me in case I had leaks...

I bought j&j Maternity Pads (I think)...It comes in a pink pack of 10. They were great. very thin and yet long and no leaks....I bled for about 40 days however only 2 weeks was like a medium period and the rest was spoting.....

I bought 3 packs and have nothing left over.
