Irritation from wearing pads after delivering

I am now 12 days post-Partum from a C-section. I have been wearing a pad daily due to the bleeding. I am extremely Irritated/itchy from the pads. I used to get this when I was in my period. Obviously this bleeding will last longer than a normal period. Any advice?

What pads are you using? Make sure they aren’t scented. Always pads always make me react like that cos they are scented! X

Try the lilets maternity pads xx

I found that the thick pads didn't make me irriated. The others did, even the pants.

Sudocrem and spritz for bits has helped me 😊

May not everyone’s thing but I have some material reusable pads and I wore those when I got sore as they’re soft and non scented. They’re easy to wash and it was so much better

I’m 2 days post c section. I have several packs of tena disposable pants with built in maternity pad. The most comfortable thing I have ever worn. They are disposable and very soft as is the pad inside and I often get irritated . Best thing is you can rip them off and chuck them away so don’t need to worry about trying to get them off when your still sore and people seeing what’s inside xx
