Not For Me

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

A must for every hospital maternity bag!

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.

Did what it says I guess

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

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!

Low on price

I recently gave birth to a baby in July and pre purchased these as a stable for my maternity bag. I found these to be effective with for soaking up the flow of the post partum bleeding. But unfortunately I found them to be very thick and uncomfortable. I found them to be extremely bulky and very noticeable under my clothing. I also didn’t like that they weren’t individually sealed in packets so once you opened the outage package they did not seem sterile anymore. The pricing for these was reasonable but I ended up going for the more thinner option in the end.

Tips: Don’t buy in bulk prior to having baby. Try a few options before you purchase more.

I did find these useful for applying to my c section once the dressing was removed to avoid rubbing on my pants and underwear.

Uncomfortable but super absorbent.

I purchased these for my hospital maternity bag but didn't end up using them until I returned home from giving birth as the hospital supplied some. These were the only option for maternity pads available at my local supermaket.

The pads aren't individually wrapped so once you open the pack they are exposed to the air. They are long white pads without wings. They have lots of padding and a adhesive bottom for sticking to underwear.

Unfortunately I found them very thick and uncomfortable to wear. They also irritated my skin so not sure if I would recommend them for sensitive skin types. These issues above were frustrating as they did an excellent job at absorbing post partum bleeding but I ended up switching to regular pads during the day for comfort.

I would probably only recommend these for night time use as they are bulky.

Tips: Ideal for night time use as super absorbent.

Maternity pads

I found these similar to ye old surf board types our mothers bought us at the first period. I was aware of them there and felt insecure without the security of wings! I would use again because they are given free by the hospital but otherwise I buy a different brand once at home!

no more babies for me!

The hospitals give you these after birthing. They are ok, do absorb well but don't have wings which I just don't understand. To be honest I found the night pads better as they have wings & are usually cheaper.

Leaky :(

I tried these when I had my daughter, and because I had tearing and a very heavy flow they leaked a lot! I also found that because I'm a bigger girl they bunched and shifted a lot. They could really use some wings! :)

Stay free maternity pads

I'm a heavy bleeder when it comes to my menstral cycle so I like to be fully protected for with out any leakages while I sleep, but I still had to double up on pads during the day and double up at night with 3-4 changes during the night or I will have leaked.. I like Libra maternity if you ask me full coverage and extra absorption

Tips: Double up if heavy bleeder.
