I just looked on TM and there is one lot of disposable undies on there Disposable briefs and you can get size 10/12 or 14/16 only so that counts me out... I'll just use the warehouse ones, you get 7 pairs for $12 and if they get gross then I'll just bin em

I have 3 packs of the stayfree pads as a friend who had her baby in Nov gave them to me and one pack of the libra, not sure what I will prefer, I think last time I used the stayfree for the first few days when it was really heavy then the budget super pads which did the trick nicely.

I never wore breast pads as my boobs didnt seem to leak much so I will wait till I have baby till I get some of those. I have 10 here that my SIL gave me to try if I need them though

I wouldn't stock up on too many maternity pads or breast pads as you may not need them.

I got 4 packets of Maternity pads, 2 Libra and 2 Stayfree. I used the hospital ones while I was there though, and bought the rest of the open packet home with me. By the time I started using my own pads on day 4 or 5 my bleeding had reduced heaps and I could have got away with normal pads. I used the Stayfree Maternity ones though just because I had them then went onto liners.

As for the breast pads, I used J&J disposable ones for the first couple of months until my supply settled and I could use washable ones without them leaking. I didn't use any other brand so can't comment on that. I also didn't need to start using them until about day 5 or 6 when my milk really came in, wouldn't hurt to have some in your hospital bag though.

Good Luck !
