I used normal pants with maternity pads, much comfier than mesh pants or adult diapers. You breeze through the pads pretty quick at 1st so a couple of packs at least.
Breast pads, I didn't use more than a few pairs a day but I didn't have good milk supply.

I didn't leak and had a strong supply of milk, and if there was milk baby was on breast anyway. At most a very small pack?

I found, due to frequency of changing at first, pads so much easier that adult nappies! I started with medical grade maternity pads, wearing two at a time. So much easier to whip out than having to manouver out of a nappy.

I took 2 packs, rest easy to find if DH needed to bring more.

Fair point on changing adult diapers vs. Just changing a pad...
But if bleeding is out of control and leaking everywhere might be a pain.
Thanks for the replies.
I guess i will fit as much as i can in terms of postpartum pads and a few breastpads.
