Bounty pack - possibly a stupid question

[MiniMummy576]

Got my first free Bounty pack yesterday at my scan and one of the freebies was a pack of panty liners.
I can't imagine why these would be needed in pregnancy? I certainly didn't feel any need for them first time round....
Is there something really obvious that I'm missing?

Pelvic floor issues - I sometimes wee a little when I sneeze!

I'm on my second pregnancy and need them lack of pelvic floor exercises the first time round mean that I get the fear every time I sneeze!

Closer to the end when baby is pressing down you may be thankful for them 😂 I was when I couldn't sneeze or cough without leaking a little bit and they're also handy in early stages of labour for mucus plug etc

Weeing yourself. My pelvic floor is fab but I have a big baby that likes to lie on my bladder and squeeze any amount of wee out!

Sometimes there's some discharge towards the end of pregnancy....

Discharge increases later on in pregnancy

I blimmin hate Bounty. I won’t be taking their packs this time around.

Are bounty still going??? I thought there was a petition to get them off the wards 4-5 years ago! Ugh.

I thought they were for afterwards when you're bleeding. No wonder I was confused why they were so thin..

Why do people hate bounty?

I don't think people like the bounty photographers not the actaull bounty packs

I had to use a panty liner from about 20ish weeks due to discharge too so that might be why

TMI but I had so much discharge throughout when I was pregnant I always thought I was weeing myself or bleeding and had to change my underwear as it was always wet. Panty liners were very helpful!

My first one only had stretch mark cream and a pen..

I thought my waters were breaking in a trickle at the end of my last pregnancy so I rang the hospital and they said it was probably discharge (it was), and they had had lots of calls that day as it was hot which apparently makes it worse!

Ha, I remember thinking that! They have come in so useful with discharge etc.

I thought it was a bit odd but have made some use of them already!

I'm another one that is using panty liners daily due to increased discharge.

Can't remember what else my bounty pack had in aside from a pack of tesco nappies, but I don't think it was that epic. Preferred the Emma's diary pack.

I got tesco nappies, them pantyliners AND a pregnacare pen!!
What is point?

Pantyliners are for discharge, not wee.

Some women find they produce more discharge when pregnant. If you're not very fluidy normally then perhaps you won't! It's different for everyone.
