Stayfree Maternity Pads

These are some of the best fanny bricks for you after having a baby.

They were what the antenatal class teacher recommended to me and also what the hospital provided. So I brought bundles of these for after my 2 babies.

Losing a lot of blood after baby you need something to catch it and there is just no way a liner will cut it.. there is no way to get around the fact you will need to use a pad for heavy bleeding.

I loved these fanny bricks. They are like carrying a brick in your knickers but what maternity pad isn’t. I loved having no wing to be honest as I didn’t need another source of glue catching something and causing more trauma. Also these are longer than another 2 brands I used which was a MUST.

They are soft, absorbent and long. My only wish was that it was a bigger pack I was surprised how many actually fit into a pack but given their purpose it actually makes sense.

My second pregnancy I had a haemorrhage and heavy bleeding for days following and these got me through it all. Highly recommend.

After I gave birth to my son I was worried about leaks as I get heavy periods in normal cycles also. So I randomly picked up this one and I am glad that my random choice was right. I did not have any leaks and no stains on my pants and bedsheet which is just so embarrassing for me. I wish they have separate packing for us to conveniently keep a few pads in our hand bag.

The only maternity pads I'll ever use again (not that another baby is in the plans!). They are thick and comfortable - trust me, it may hurt for a wee while down below so added padding helps!

They're long which means less leaks. They also stick well, barely moving during use although wings would be nice just for that added assurance - especially during the first few days post birth! The core is ultra absorbing which is especially wonderful in those early days post birth.

The only downside is they aren't individually wrapped, which is a shame. But I did resort to popping some in a resealable Glad bag and chucking that in the nappy bag when we needed to be out of the house just to keep them clean and in good condition.

Bigger packs would be nice too. You can bleed a lot post birth and the ability to buy one big pack, instead of numerous small ones, would be lovely. 10 pads can go very quickly!

These are very comfortable and do what they say they will. They are also competitively priced. The only thing i didnt like about these were they are not individually packaged like most pads are.

Do exactly what they say , they were the only ones I used after having my baby so I dont have much to compare to but I didnt have any issues with them . And they were the cheapest at the supermarkets at the time.

These were the only pads I would use after I had my baby. The "cheapies" I was given in the hospital were nasty, and leaked a lot, so as soon as I could I switched to these. What a difference. Excellent absorbency, and kept the skin dry. Nothing worse than feeling wetness downstairs. They're extra long, which is brilliant, especially at night.

These were the first ones I used because they supplied them at the hospital so I used them for the first few weeks, then I tried libra and wish I'd used them as soon as leaving the hospital... The carefree are very thick and long so great for the first few days but when ya wana go n walk around I suggest a different brand

I've had three kids and with 2 out of the three these are the pads I used and took to the hospital with me.

I started buying them throughout my pregnancies so when baby arrived I had a good stock pile. The pack contains 10 pads roughly $6-7 a packet. I managed a couple of times to pick them up on special for $4. So if your pregnant keep an eye out at your local supermarket.

The packaging is pretty basic. Easy enough to open and access the pads. Its not bright and bold like some of the regular period pads packaging can be. The packet is quite large which is to be expected considering these are big absorbent pads, so keep that in mind when packing your bag leave some space for these bad boys.

The pads themselves are quite long and thick. Super absorbent and I've never had any issue with leaking through them. I thought they would be a bit like wearing a nappy but surprisingly they weren't. Comfortable to wear.

The only thing I found was I needed to take more than one packet to hospital with me as 10 was not enough, I couldn't imagine them being in a bigger pack though.

These have been my go too and I have recommended these to my girlfriends when they've been expecting.

These pads are great for after bubs has arrived. I was given some in hospital and they were very comfortable and not too bulky. I did however find that they scrunched up a bit after walking around but other than that i wouldnt buy another brand next time.

Now I am not usually of bunchy thick pads that will feel like I have nappies on so the thought of using maternity pads depresses me something chronic. I never thought I would have to that is until I had a baby and realized the need for something like these.

The packaging of the Stayfree Maternity Pads are feminine and cute without being in your face and 'period' looking. I preferred these to the hospital pads they gave me. They don't gather fluff like other brands can. I would prefer the quantity to be bigger, 10 just doesn't cut it after you have a baby. You are changing these on an hourly or two hourly basis so more value for money would be nice.

I usually don't like long pads, but these were a lifesaver! You literally have no control over your flow after birth and having a pad that goes from one end of your gruts to the other is very reassuring! I wish they had wings because I found these liked to shift around a bit as I moved.

I found that with these being longer than normal, I didn't have to worry too much about leakage which was a gosh sent after a cesarean. They last thing you want to do is constantly change pads.

In summary, the pads do what they promise but would be better if it came in bigger packs rather than wasting money on buying so many packs to keep up with flow. They are comfortable and easy to use while keeping leakage to a minimum. They tend to shift a bit and the adhesive isn't always sticky enough.
