Pads or diaper or both?

I planned to wear diapers afterwards just to keep everything contained, I hate pads and I was expecting a lot of blood. But I had a c section, so I used pads because I wasn’t bleeding a whole lot, and the diapers would hurt my incision.

@Brooklyn okay, thanks. Yeah with my first I wore diapers only for the first few days.

Adult underwear was amazing for me!

Adult diapers for the win! With built in pads

Adult diapers with no extra pads for me! So comfortable!!

Good old granny undies and a pad for me

diapers at first, i didn’t need them after about a week. then i switched to pads after the bleeding slowed

Adult diapers are so much better. No twisting no riding up. BUT ice pads are phenomenal the first 2 weeks pp. I still like adult diapers for the heavy period nights.

Diapers 100%. No slipping or sliding with pads, especially because the bassinet was on my side of the bed so there was a lot of "scooting" in and out of bed. I also had a C-section and the diapers came up over my incision to my belly button so there was no extra pressure like with regular underwear. I switched to reusable high waisted period underwear once the bleeding slowed down because I just despise pads in general and it worked well for me.

Adult diaper for sure until the bleeding slows. No risk of extra laundry and comfy.

I got full briefs 1 or 2 sizes up during my pregnancy which were also perfect to wear with the Frida pads PP. Frida pads were definitely my favourite; large and absorbent without being uncomfortably bulky.

I used both used the diaper as like disposable underwear, I haemorrhaged after birth & was super heavy for 2 days but completely stopped bleeding after 4 days xx

I got the Frieda and then big pads I found the adult style nappies made my skin sore

Adult diaper for about the first week then the pads after that

I really liked the diaper with a pad, because I could just change out the pad and not worry about stained underwear. Then as it got lighter, I used the rest of the diapers alone, and then towards the end just regular pads or pantyliners.

For my first, I experimented a bit...for my second, i knew what worked and it was adult diapers only for me 🤷‍♀️

Pads are great because you can put witch hazel on them & freeze them, which was a lifesaver for me after birth lol. But diapers are also super comfy.

I used massive high waisted "granny pants" and maternity pads, I bled so so much for the first 2 weeks it was insane 🥲

Adult nappies are the best imo. The pads are so massive and so uncomfortable, the nappies just felt lighter, and I felt more protected

Pads in the day and disposable underwear at night (less chance of leaking and you don’t want to have to get up in the middle of the night to change a pad if your baby is asleep)
