Hospital knickers?

I've read on so many blogs that the American style mesh hospital knickers are great post birth wether you've had a section or not, and just noticed some for sale on Jojo Maman - has anyone tried them?

I'm just a bit dubious as they're one size fits 8-22.

I'm at the larger end of that so cant see how they'd be ok on me, and equally on a size 8 🤔

I might just order and give them a try as they're not too expensive but just thought I'd check here first incase anyone else has them?!

I used to work in a hospital and you'd be surprised at the different body shapes/sizes one pair would fit! When you first open them they seem ridiculously small but they stretch to pretty much any size. Soooooo super comfortable aswell!

I wasn't a fan (uncomplicated vaginal birth), much preferred massive black cotton pants - got a few packs in Primark and binned if necessary!

Actually, have just looked on your link and they are both washable and disposable - and look way nicer than the tight scratchy nonsense I bought from Boots!
At only 8 quid it's worth a go I reckon.

I think I've ruined it for myself as I find switching to cotton pants really uncomfortable now. I've been wearing full stretch pants for a while now (from primark though 😂) and I'm so used to them, they're like a second skin. The elastic around the legs now really annoys me when I wear cotton pants 🤦‍♀️

Asda do their own brand version of these. I think they were 5 pairs for £1.20. I really recommend them.

I guess anything you are comfy in and happy to bin is good!

angelix · 12/06/2019 21:45

I've ordered them so we'll see. Worth a try for £8

I wore massive black comfy primary ones I could throw away. Cheaper, and comfier for me.
