Adult nappies?

Hi! Last time I gave birth I used disposable underwear, which was okay this time I wanted to try some adult nappies for the first few days pp.

  1. Are they okay to use for postpartum? Like are they sterile enough just incase I have to have stitches?
  1. If so, what brand should I use?

Thank you in advance!

After both of my births I've used disposable adult nappies because i absolutely hate the maternity pads poking out at the bum or not being wide enough.
I just bought the boots stay dry night pants and never leaked through them ever. I'll be buying disposable adult nappies again this time especially as they fit comfortably over my c section wound.

The Aldi incontinence pants were brilliant for me post birth :)

I used the Always disposable nappies and they were honestly a godsend. The thick pads were absolutely useless.

Are these scented?

I bought the always discreet but never used them I much preferred the Frida mum disposable shorts and a maternity pad they were just so comfy and felt very secure .
