Normal maternity pads to be on the safe side. Regular nighttime ones might also be OK

Definitely maternity pads. It really depends on how long you stay for; I was in for 4 days after birth and probably went through 6 packets.

Boots maternity pads are great and often on 3 for 2. I took two packs with me - 2nd time I didn't open the second pack.
