How long did you wear diapers post partum?

lol same here I bought so many and I only wore them for a week

I used Walmart brand pads, they were 3.98 for like 40 ish of them, they were cushy like the hospital ones and super cheap, I bled for 6 weeks 🥴

I didnt wear them at all. I used the mesh underwear and pads from the hospital for a week or 2 then just regular pads with regular underwear.

For the first 2 days I wore the giant pads and mesh underwear… day 2 was more cuz I loved the ice packs with stitches and they didn’t fit with thin pads lol. Now I’m wearing thin pads… I’m a week postpartum.

I’m almost a month out and still wearing pads. The hospital gave me tons though. I had one package of honey pot post partum pads and they were better than hospital ones. Be sure to ask for more before you leave the hospital. I will say that I found regular overnight period pads to be surprisingly ineffective. I am now only using period panties, which work really well and I feel less like a gross monster.

I wore diapers for 3 days and didn't like them so went back to wearing pad inserts and my regular granny panties 😂. Easier to change and surprisingly I wasn't bleeding as much as I thought I would.

On 4th week and still wearing them x

I think a week or as long as I still had them cause I bought quite a few and they felt more comfortable but then I changed to pads. There wasn’t that much discharge after two weeks

I uses them about 2.5 weeks. Everytime I would stop wearing them I would pass a big clot or have other issues needing something more durable. I don't like the feel of the thick pads, but the down side to diapers is changing them is harder if your not wearing skirts or dresses. I went through 3 boxes of them. The first few days were the heaviest and most frequent changes.

I bought a smaller pack and I wore them with a pad inside for about a week and now I’m just using a pad with underwear

Maybe two weeks, but thinking more so a week max. My bleeding wasn’t bad at all

I'd get the box of always period diapers. They're perfect. The heavy bleeding lasted for about a week. After that I used pads and the mesh panties from the hospital (for convenience) for a few more weeks.

@Alexis For the problem of not liking thick pads, try out the always infinity pads. They're memory foam so they're not bad at all. As for the diaper thing. Always makes overnight diapers that are AMAZING. Comfortable, durable, and invisible underneath clothes.

I wore them for almost a week. Only went through half a pack, but I’m just going to save the rest for the next baby!

I didn't wear them, I just used pads.
