Tesco thin maternity pads

Tesco thin maternity pads are the only maternity pads I can find in my area. I'm worried that these may be too thin but I can't find any review. Have you ever used the pads? How do you find it?

Never used them. Can you not order dome elsewhere online?

I actually wore incontinence pants instead. Made me feel alot less conscious about leakage.

They seem to have some options at Tesco. Not sure about in your local shop though.

Definitely don't get thin ones! I learnt this the hard way after giving birth. Get the Kotex really thick pads, I think they came in red and black packaging. They are huge but they did the job. Normal sized sanitary towels will not be able to cope, so go for the thickest most absorbent you can find.

These are the Kotex ones I used - www.superdrug.com/Toiletries/Menstrual-Care/Sanitary-Pads/Kotex-Night-Time-Maxi-x10/p/558109

I used boots thin ones and they were fine - just change them more regularly - much comfier than those bloody awful thick NHS ones. After a couple of days I just used super heavy period ones

You could get a Boots delivery, they sell a few different ones, or Amazon sell ones I saw recommended on here that are really thick, I found them more comfortable that having the thinner ones as the edges of the thin ones didn't sit well for me but I did have an episiotomy and a tear. I think the Amazon ones are called Abeeno but I'll check as I need to order some more for me! Will report back later.

I got the boots maternity pads (not the thin ones) with my first pregnancy and found them really good so will be using them again for my second. I just did a big online order at boots and it arrived within 2 days :)

I liked the boots ones, they were reasonably thick and comfortable. Only comparison I have was the NHS ones which were horrible - probably TMI but I felt everything when I had one on.

I used Naturcare ones from Amazon and they were very big and soft.

I just gave birth earlier this week and used the Tesco thin maternity pads. Unfortunately, they were too thin for me and I ended up having to double and triple up at times. I'm using the Boots maternity pads now which are just the right size.
