Yup they couldn't have said it better!! Hospital gives u some but you need to buy way more overnights are great ones to use and make sure to get plenty .

I used the heavy flow always pads also, the maternity ones cost much as I remember, just because they're maternity

I'm a ftm but many women in my family are 3rd time mommies and I had that same question. I ask my mom because she had 4 of us, she told me that I can use any heavy flow pads. I have always use the always brand so that's what I'm going to use too.
