I Absolutly hated these, felt like I had a surf board between my legs and they were so inconforable. Not to mention they didn't stick very well so they always moves and the stuff inside them bunched up which was quite yucky.

I absolutely hated these surfboards. I know after having two babies you NEED something you can trust and these are just not good. NO wings makes them move and thats just a BIG NO NO when your a bleeding that heavily after a baby. I feel like they bunched up aswell just from walking around! Felt horrible between my legs and didnt seem to absorb much either. Would never use again and i dont recommend them to my other mummas either!
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.
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.
Tips: Include these in your get ready maternity bag for the hospital. they are more absorbent than the hospital pads and far more comfy.
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 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
Tips: These are great for the first week after bubs only
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.
Tips: Make sure to take a pack in your hospital bag.
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.
Tips: Stock up if you're pregnant , for sure!
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.
Tips: For the first 48 hours it pays to double up (wear 2 side by side) if flow is heavy or clumpy to get you through the night.
