Postpartum Recovery Step by Step Guide ✅
1. Maxi Pads for Postpartum Bleeding – Maximum Protection When You Need It Most
Of course you’re going to need maxi pads—but not just any kind will do. Overnight Maternity Maxi Pads are essential for the first few days postpartum. You’ll be bleeding heavily and changing your pad frequently, so make sure you have enough on hand. Start with 1–2 large packs of heavy flow maternity pads, and don’t be shy about stocking up with more.
Important tip: Avoid any pads with dry weave while you’re healing from stitches or tearing—dry weave can catch on stitches and cause pain. Ouch!
Also good to know: Tampons shouldn’t be used until after your 6-week postpartum checkup, so pads will be your go-to for a while, Mommas!

For extra coverage, many new mothers like to have a few incontinence pads on hand as well. These are especially helpful during the first couple of days when bleeding is heaviest and protection matters most. They're also a great choice for overnight use, or even during labour if you're leaking amniotic fluid.
Why new moms love incontinence pads:
✔️ Extra-long and ultra-absorbent
✔️ Great for overnight or heavy-flow moments
✔️ Gentle on sensitive postpartum skin
✔️ Just a few in your kit can go a long way
Build your postpartum pad stash with both maternity and incontinence options to feel confident, clean, and protected—day and night.
