Hi all. Any recommendations for good comfy absorbant maternity pads and nursing pads? I've read on some threads that some brands can feel a bit rough.

I found Tesco own brand good, they absorbed well and weren't itchy like the ones I got from boots.
As for breast pads, I had some reusable ones made from bamboo, my mil found them for me though, so couldn't tell you where from.

I used boots own brand and found these to be absolutely fine, although I didn't have loads of bleeding tbh.

Like the pp, I used the bamboo reusable breast pads which my husband bought for me. I think he bought them in John Lewis.

I used a mixture of Wilko own brand and any supermarket own brand. They were absolutely fine. Once the bleeding stayed to ease I used super sanitary towels. The worst bit is feeling like you are wearing a nappy (which you can’t get away from unfortunately)

I have the little lamb reusable breast pads. I find them much more comfortable that disposable ones and they’re really absorbent.
