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.
I used these after I gave birth, and personally I didn't like them. They kept most of the leakage in but I didn't like that there was no wings and I found them too thick and un comfortable. Much preferred the Libra ones
