I've heard sum mom's talk of depends & how they were great & less worry of messing up ur panties. Any mom's tried them or plan to? What pads are really good & will u use both?

Ok jus wondering. No it doesn't sound pleasant. LOL I imagine a "wetter" feeling doing that than wearing a pad. Hmmm Not sure that would work for me bt then again I didn't bleed very much my 1st & last csection. It could work! LOL

Lol My first pregnancy ended in a csection & I bled very little, like 2 day's of moderate bleeding only bt then I had another 12 day's of this clear fluid. I'm not sure wt to expect this time around & it sound's like a good idea. Most women I think have those "throw away panties" bt like another mom said I mostly have thongs & the full panties are pretty laced thing's. Since being pregnant I've gone to Walmart & purchased a cpl pack's of those boy short panties. They are very comfortable for my expanding bump & rump BOL & I need to wear panty liner's now.

I plan to use them after they were recommended by a couple of friends. I hardly own any undies that aren't thongs and I don't really want to buy them for this reason. Depends make sense, as embarrassing as it is lol

I had really bad periods prior to getting pregnant (I'm talking about to the point where I've had multiple blood transfusions).  I wore a depends along with a tampon.  It was much better than a pad because it doesn't leak onto your panties.  I plan on taking some to the hospital with me.

I've never thought about those, but they might be great to use after having the baby. Lol. After I had my first son I bled quite a bit. And messed up quite a bit of my underwear. I couldn't find any pads big enough or good enough to stop leaking. But a depends plus pads might just work! :-)
