are panty liners the same as pads?

Im 9 days pp and i barely bleed. Im using ultra thin pads but i still feel like they are too long and i only bleed like a half dollar sized spot over a couple hours. Is there anything thats even smaller? I hate pads ughhh

They aren't the same they're shorter and really thin. They sell them at the dollar store. It will say liner on the front of the box. I use them for discharge. And I used them before pregnancy with my tampons for when they'd leak.

You can get panty lines if you are bleeding that light. I use them with my tampon in case I leak (before I was pregnant ) they are super thin, you can't feel them but they only hold a little bit of fluid and they are not as long as pads are some are thicker than others though I don't like the Playtex ones they are thicker

They make something called "light days" which are super super thin and not long.  They might work better for you.  I had all different thickness of pads when prego!  best of luck to you
