Underwear after birth?!

Last time I used period knickers that I already had which a big old Bridget jones pants and put maternity pads in for extra protection. Anything that’s comfortable, easy to wash or bin with lots of coverage is my suggestion x

These are amazing from Amazon , really thick and wide. At no point did I feel like they would leak. There much bigger and better from the ones I brought in boots
Tesco do disposable maternity pants which I used in the first week - bloody fabulous! Then just sized up in big knickers for the rest. Both with big pads - lil lets maternity pads I found the best x
I really didn’t get on with the adult nappy maternity type things. I had stitches from tearing and the stitches felt like they constantly were catching on them. I love love loved the lil lets maternity pads (with wings) they were so soft and paired them with primark briefs. Think you can get a 4 pack for £4ish. The nappy’s are so much more money too and I was advised to change often to prevent any infection so it just would have become quite ££ X
Everyone is so different though so maybe grab a pack of different ones so you have things to play around with when you’re in hospital. Then you can be comfortable with what works for you x
Last time I took my big maternity knickers (the ones from Tu are really good) and then used the biggest sanitary pads I could find (might have been incontinence pads actually). Black ones.
I just wore big briefs in a few sizes too large and then used maternity pads (boots or Sainsbury’s own were the best). Will be doing the same again this time 😊
Thanks for all the advice girls!! You’ve all been really helpful 🩷 xx
Last time I got the high waist disposable ones from Freida and put a sanitary pad in it. Then I swapped to high waisted black knickers once the bleeding got more like a period with a pad stuck in. I used the hospital adult nappies for the first day or so
