Maternity pads... How many?

Those of you who have had babies. How many maternity pads did you (roughly) get through? I know you can bleed for weeks but don't know how long I need maternity pads as opposed to normal sanitary towels. Any advice appreciated!

I'm on my 4th pack a week post-section, but when this pack runs out I'm switching to sanitary towels as I'm only bleeding lightly now. I've also been using them to cushion my c section scar since I've had the dressing off.
