Lansinoh Discreet & Absorbent Maternity Pads: 2+ weeks post-birth
Our discreet Maternity Pads have been developed to be used from week 2 post-partum, when your post-birth bleeding starts to reduce and you start to become more active.
Crafted from soft, breathable and dermatologically tested materials with no compromise on absorption levels – our slim Maternity Pads have been designed specifically for post-partum bleeding (also known as lochia) which requires a different level of protection than standard sanitary or bladder control pads.
We’ve partnered with Baby Basics charity to help vulnerable new mums get the hygiene products they need. When you donate a pack of Maternity Pads, we’ll match it for free.

FAQ
All women experience bleeding after childbirth (whether they have a c-section or vaginal or birth) – this is called Lochia. There are 3 stages of lochia – typically lasting up to 6 weeks with mums needs changing as they progress through these stages.
Maternity Pads are designed specifically for use after giving birth. For most women, post-birth bleeding is heavier than a typical menstrual period, most definitely in the first 2 weeks which requires a degree of protection not offered by normal sanitary or bladder leakage pads.
Most new parents will bleed for around 6 weeks after giving birth, so Maternity Pads with wings for extra protection are recommended throughout this period. Maternity Pads will require changing as needed, or every 4 hours, so it’s likely you’ll need around 250 maternity pads over this period.
If you’re thinking about how many maternity pads for your hospital bag, we recommend taking 2 packs of our thick maternity pads (Extra Absorbent) for use straight after giving birth – these should last you just over 3 days so you’ll be covered in case you need to stay in a little longer.
