Hi there, just trying to get bit here & there so i'm prepared. Need to get some maternity pads. I've not really looked at any yet but was wondering if anyone has any reccommendations? I've see tesco do thier own make, anyone used them? Also how many are you all getting? And are any of you getting dispoable knickers? I've seen tesco do thier own make of those to!

hi i had dispossable knickers with last baa=by and thought they were rubbish i just bought tesco own cheap granny knickers then threw them away as for mat pads i bought mothercare ones and will do again or always super night pads xx

i agree with u there wingy the tesco dispossiable pants were crap i just brought some cheapy knickers n threw them away after, did 4 this 1 aswell, as 4 matertity pads i brouht cheapy 1s from wilkinsons and asda and they were gd 4 me xx

Mothercare disposable pants are supposed to be good.

Ive just bought cheap knickers 2 chuck away, also maternity pads i just bought cheap 1s from wilkinsons, just hope i bought enough,

the wilko 1s are really gd,

I got some pads from boots they also do huge pads that you can put under your sheet in bed near the end of pregnancy i found them usefull cos it was a new matress we had didn't end up needing tham so now use them for baby when i strip lo naked she loves its cos she has a really good kick around & i don't have to worry about messes on the rug!

good, i think there were 99p on offer, i know my cousin had them, but i dont use pads so i dont know

no nor me im a tampax girl lol! but u cant use them again until ur 2nd period after baby is born

those big pads sound a gd idea cloclo havent seen them b4

Im also a tampax lass, lol
Its what u used 2 lol
I dont like pads, but will just have 2 cope with them 4 a while,

hi

i have a while to go yet but just wondering, how long on average do you bleed after pregnancy?And is it a really heavy flow?That is one thing i hadnt really thought about until reading posts on here!lol

mothercare ones are crap also seriously you are as well bying cheap knickers and throwing them away afterwards than wasting your money on disspossables

The huge pads are really good just to give you peace of mind but i've gone out & got more just so lo can be free & naked think they are about ??3-99 they re boots own in green packaging.
charlie092 the 1st few days it was quite heavy then i bled for about 3 weeks after but it was really light & got away with just wearing a panty liner but like always everyone is different my friend only bles for a wk

fair enough, the sound a bit uncomfortable to me anyway. I'm jsut going to steal some incontenance pads from my work, they should do me

There not the most comfortable things there big & heavy you walk like john wayne for abit till you get used to them! & incontenince pads will definatly do the trick am sure there the same thing just called different

I've just bought some knickers from Asda instead of disposable ones. They were only ??1 for 3 so I got 2 packs. I also bought some new knicker for me so I can use my old greying knickers after the birth and it doesn't matter about throwing them after. I think wearing normal knickers will help me feel a bit more human after the birth rather than some paper knickers

hi
i bought boots maternity pads i never used them before coz iam from germany we dont got such a thing like maternity pads.i will buy and get granny knickers(have a look in asda for that price is it worth it lol).just need to go and get breast pads any idea which are the best there?
love eve xxx

i can recomend always super night pads, and kotex night pads were ok (always 1s did the job and they not bulky)

i used lansinoh breast pads, very comfy and descreet, individually wrapped for traveling. xx

I would recommend boots and always pads, also the maternity mats. They are excellent to begin with when you are not used to the nappy. I also use them now for when my little on has nappy off play time. I also have one in my changing bag, incase when we are out the facilities are not clean. i bled big time for a week, lost lots of clots sorry tmi! I was having to wear two pad at a time and still soaking through, the disp knickers from boots too worked well, wore them for ages. sorry if tmi for you all. good luck to every 1
