Take the hospital ones they're yours, used stayfree and libra as well only needed them for the first 2 weeks after that I switched to normal libra san pads.
Libra Goodnights worked ok as well. ]]> Fri, 18 Mar 2011 09:28:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287720&title=maternity-pads#1287720 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : I only used hospital, stayfree...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287679&title=maternity-pads#1287679 Author: Whateversville

I only used hospital, stayfree and libra. I liked them all. But the hospital ones felt thin and so I wore two at a time. Then changed to stayfree for like a week when I sat at home attched to the couch coz they had a bit of extra padding for stitches. Then I changed to libra and loved them, they felt so comfty and not like I had a giant pad on.

If when I get AF back she's as heavy as pre baby i've decided i'll use the libra maternity pads for over night lol

[QUOTE=Mealz79]I liked the Stayfree ones too...much softer than the Libra ones and great for the early days, particularly with stitches! Took me a while to give up my maternity pads...just liked the extra padding when sitting down!

Have to agree there, they were alot more comfy to sit with and at night I used the ones outta the freezer with witch hazel on them-great for stiches!!!

I didnt use the normal maternity pads, i used adult absobancy pads sort of like an adult diaper but just a pad(used for weak bladders control) i got them from a nappy store. i found these awsome in that first day or 2 and overnight as they didnt leak at all. ]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:40:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287242&title=maternity-pads#1287242 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : Hospital ones are good while you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287224&title=maternity-pads#1287224 Author: KiwiAtHeart

following my surgery when i had to use them I found the Libra were nicest for absorbency and 'dry' feeling but i lacked the padding i wanted, so I found Stayfree to be the best. I never got any of the cheaper store branded ones as dad got sent out shopping and the man restocking the shelves said "my wife likes these brands best" and gave him them ones. ]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:00:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287214&title=maternity-pads#1287214 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : Homebrand are good for the first...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287207&title=maternity-pads#1287207 Author: Nothing

Yes, the hospital ones were great! I ended up sneaking quite a few when I left.

I think I used Budget ones after that, and they were fine. I think I had some Stayfree too. Didn't notice any problems with any of the ones I used!]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:44:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287206&title=maternity-pads#1287206 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : Lil_Nic9 wrote:The Hospital...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287202&title=maternity-pads#1287202 Author: High9

I didn't think the hospital ones were padded enough for my liking lol, so would use two overlapping to make it more comfortable. *runs off to check which ones I have* Stayfree ones I found more comfy, and have them again for this time ]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:55:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287161&title=maternity-pads#1287161 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : I would second the make use of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287159&title=maternity-pads#1287159 Author: AngieBabe

I would second the make use of the hospital ones - they kept offering me them so I took them, even if I didn't really need any at the time!

I had stocked up on the Libra ones for at home which I found fantastic, even with stitches! Didn't use them all 'cause I didn't actually bleed for that long (yay!) the hospital ones did the job just fine while I could get them.]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:49:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287159&title=maternity-pads#1287159 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : They absolutely bunch up, they&#039;re...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287143&title=maternity-pads#1287143 Author: Plushie

Budget are really good. They are impressed, like libra etc (as in to hold the inner stuffing in place iykwim)and for $2ish a good price. No wings.
Where as the homebrand are useless, like cotton wool and it bunches.
Then when I was going out etc, I would use libra etc. But for at home budget all the way.]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 10:41:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287068&title=maternity-pads#1287068 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : Make good use of the hospital...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287065&title=maternity-pads#1287065 Author: Danda08

I loved the libra ones. They did have wings though but i liked that because they stayed in place better. I was terrified when i unfolded one as they are HUGE and long. The homebrand woolworths ones are very similar to the hospital ones, weirdly, but the inside tends to bunch up. I liked them for the first few days when i was changing every half hour anyway. ]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 10:16:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287047&title=maternity-pads#1287047 <![CDATA[Maternity pads : I vaguely recall the big surfboard...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38433&PID=1287040&title=maternity-pads#1287040 Author: JessDub

I vaguely recall the big surfboard ones being the most comfortable and the long ones with wings a pain to deal with. But that was a couple years ago now... what's happening in the world of maternity pads?
