Stayfree Maternity Pads

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.

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 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.

I absolutely loved using these after birth. They are nice and thick which helps to absorb everything. I recommended these over the Libra maternity pads 100%

This are so good. Really comfy and fit nicely into your giant maternity knickers or your normal underwear (if you're keen already). They aren't stupidly massive like some of the ones you can get and you feel safe that you aren't going to leak everywhere.

These were my best friend in the days immediately after giving birth. I can happily report that my giant nana-undies did not get a single drop of blood on them as these pads were so super absorbent. They are long and wide so cover all.the bases and also super comfortable at a time when sitting down is not pleasant!

A good reliable pad that has extra cushioning which is ideal after having a baby. The extra length plus width gives you piece of mind. Good for heavy flows. I used these after having both of my girls.

These pads were my go to after having my daughter. The shape and size is perfect, absorbs well with no leaks, comfortable to wear. Would recommend these to any new mumma.

Life saver and go to for postpartum! Size and shape is great, extra long, no bunching, no slipping for all that night time up and downs and great when sitting breastfeeding all day! Bonus points as they are easy to identify for your partner running to the supermarket when you forget to stock up! High recommended!
