Hospital bag - Maternity Pad recommendations etc

[needahugbug]

Hi everyone,
I'm 33 + 1 and am starting to think about packing my hospital bag. I've read lots of threads on here about what to include etc but for the life of me can't remember what brand/type of maternity pads everyone was recommending to get.
If anyone can recommend any particular brands/types that would be fab :)
Or if anyone has any other tips on bits to include please feel free to add them as I love to see what other people take
Thank you in advance :))

Boots maternity pads were good. I also tried Asdas little angels ones when I ran out of the Boots ones but found them uncomfortable

Boots ones were fine, but Tena pants were a godsend after section, the disposable pants they give you are awful & had sharp elastic that sat right on my scar.

I used tesco own and they were fine. I bought a couple of packs of the big fat ones for the first couple of days, the padding was helpful, then the slim ones for after that. After about 5 days I was fine with normal sanitary towels.

I used mothercare maternity pads with aloe Vera for the first week or so, then Boots own brand. I found them both good, although the mothercare ones stayed in place better as they had wings.

I used boots slim one which were fine but when I was in hospital I used theirs as I bled a lot!

I liked to use something with a bit more protection at night, so I bought some Tena night time pads....but I picked up the wrong kind. I picked up the HUGE ones that are for urinary incontinence, kind of like a nappy without sides But they were so comfortable!!!! I will be buying them again this time! They offered lots of cushion against my sore lady bits

I used Boots, Sainsburys and Naturcare and there wasn't much to choose between them. Boots ones are often on 3 for 2 so worth checking. Get more than you think you'll need as I only bought three packs to start with and the husband had to go and buy more whilst I was still in hospital! Luckily I'd shown him in advance where to find things like that in various shops.
