A note from Fiona, Founder of Riley


I'm currently expecting my second baby. 
Birth is huge, and the weeks after deserve just as much care as the big day itself.

When Áine and I started Riley, we wanted period care you could trust. 

Expecting mums deserve that more than anyone: better ingredients and better materials, so you can rest and recover without second-guessing what's touching your body.

These are going in my hospital and postpartum bag. Put some in yours, too.

Why organic cotton?

Organic cotton is naturally soft, absorbent and breathable. After birth, that matters. 

Your skin is already working hard, so the layer against it should be as gentle as possible. That’s why we use organic cotton exactly where it touches you.


Protection you can count on, when you need it most.

  • Extra-long for more coverage: for resting or on the move
  • Organic cotton topsheet and core: cloud-soft and breathable
  • Ultra absorbency: for the days and weeks after birth
  • Kind to sensitive skin: clinically tested and non-irritating
  • Gentle adhesive that stays put: so you can focus on you and your little one
  • Made without pesticides, chlorine bleach or harmful chemicals

FAQ.

What are maternity pads, and do I actually need them?

    Maternity pads are longer, more absorbent pads made for bleeding after birth, known as lochia. Bleeding is usually heavier than a period at first, especially in the first few days, so regular pads often aren’t enough. Most hospitals include maternity pads on their packing list, which makes them one of the few postpartum essentials worth buying ahead. You’ve just done something amazing, and you deserve to feel comfortable afterwards.

How many pads are in a pack?

    Each box contains 10 maternity pads. They aren’t individually wrapped, so a small pouch or wash bag is handy for keeping a few together in your hospital bag.

How absorbent are the Maternity Pads?

    Our Maternity Pads are ultra-absorbent and have an extra-long design, made for postpartum bleeding during the fourth trimester.

How many Maternity Pads will I need postpartum?

    There’s no magic number, because every recovery is different. You’ll usually need to change pads more often in the first few days, when bleeding is heaviest. A few packs in your hospital bag is a good place to start. Check your hospital’s packing list or ask your midwife what they’d suggest. Once you’re home, you can always order more without a last-minute dash to the chemist.

How often should I change my maternity pad?

    Change your pad regularly, and sooner whenever it feels wet or uncomfortable. Follow your maternity team’s advice on postpartum hygiene.

How should I dispose of used Maternity Pads?

    Wrap your used pad and put it in the bin.
