Maternity pads

Which maternity pads would you recommend for the first days? I think I would rather use pads and knickers than wear pull ups 😅 I have Asda ones and not sure if I should grab some other ones too to try out

I used lil let's maternity pads which worked well for me

I used lil-lets maternity pads, they were so comfy. Main thing I’d say is make sure you get fragrance free as I wore scented ones without realising twice after birth and they irritated me SO much.

Lil lets they're great!

Another vote for the lil lets. They were perfect

I used lil lets too. So comfy and never had any problems with leaks x

I used Abena premium from Amazon, can’t fault them!

Frida disposable knickers and lil-lets maternity pads xx

The boots ones are really comfortable and so soft!

@Amber yeah in2nd boots used them with bith mu babies, even Sainsbury's long maxi pads are great they're like 90p 😅

Lil lets

I bought the kotex nighttime pads. But honestly I did just use the always discreet pants the whole time😂

Lil lets! Tried lots with my first child, only bought lil lets for my second birth because I liked them so much! Hated the pants. Hated the thick ones I tried from Boots and supermarket, thought the cushioning would help, but they just put a lot more pressure onto my tears and episiotomy. Ouch.

@Sophie I’ve ordered these from reading lots of reviews x

Lilets and boots maternity pads , boots nursing pads are good too

@Shanice Jeffrey I’ve seen boots has changed their packaging so hoping the product is still the same tho 😅 I’ll grab some pads next time I’m in town!

@Sophie Ive ordered those thinking of night time as they seem a little bigger and I’m petrified of leaking through 😅

I used the Boots ones and they were amazing. Inexpensive and i felt comfortable

I found the lil let maternity ones really good!

I got a really good deal on lilets ones on amazon ☺️

I find tena night pads effective when super heavy and I've just found 4 pack of disposable underwear on amazon for 13.25. Very cost effective so I'll be trying those.

Lil-lets maternity. They’re the only ones with wings and don’t move!

Lil lets they are the best

I used asda and lilets both were fab x

Wear the pull ups believe me 😂

Abena from Amazon! In a white/peach/pink pack! Amazing.

I didn’t like the pants as pit pressure on my stitches. lil legs were great initially then the Tesco thinner pads were great after a weak or so

If you’re willing to spend a bit more I’d recommend organic cotton as your body’s just gone through such an ordeal so reduce the chemicals and perfume elements that are soaking into your new mummy hormones

@Dominika I was skeptical at first considering its boots but then when I had my little one back h December . It did the job . Same with lilets maternity pads . Highly recommended ☺️I think it’s the same product even if they change the package . Hope this helps
