Is she leaking enough to need pants designed for bladder weakness and post-birth?

Is she using the right absorbency sanpro for her flow/changing frequently enough? (Disclaimer - have never experienced frequent 'flooding' but remember the horror of leaking as a teeneger). Would concern me more that she is requiring such specialist pants tbh - how old is she? Has she spoken to a gp about this - it could indicate other gynae problems?

How much are Diary Doll ones?

The only ones I know of are handmade from small companies such as Crease Free Clothes or Crafty Mrs B. They are probably similarly priced if not more - but are gorgeous and handmade in the UK so no sweatshop labour.

Oh I've just googled them. You won't find cheaper ones unless you want plastic nightmares!

stronger I think the op is referring to reusable sanpro - basically absorbant pants.

Thinx are £20 I think but I’m not sure how small they go

My dd has these www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074M3W2G8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8 3 pairs for £24 . They work well for her and she says they are really comfortable.

Thinx have been great for my DD, felt like a lot when I ordered but have been worth every penny, we got 3 pairs and for her it was all about changing for gym, she has gym after lunch so had a pad in in the morning took it out at lunch and then she was good till home time and no one knew she was on her period.....
