Stayfree Maternity Pads

I honestly preferred these over the hospital pads. They are a lot more absorbent and much more comfortable. They are great for incontinence as well as they don't go hard or scratchy like other brands do. I found they stayed in place perfectly too.

I tried all brands after having my babies. These were by far the best. I'm not a pad user generally, but you have no choice after having a baby. And these are the comfortable, they didn't move around as much as others did. They feel like good quality.

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.

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 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.
