Organic Cotton Maternity Pads.

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.

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.

The soft cover and the absorbent core are both made from 100% organic cotton. The pads also have a biopolymer film backing, adhesive and silicone release paper. We list every component so you know exactly what’s touching your body.

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.

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

We’ve thought about what touches your body, and what’s underneath. The soft cover and absorbent core are made from 100% organic cotton, with an extra-long design and ultra-absorbency for postpartum protection. You get clear materials, thoughtful design and care centred on you during your fourth trimester.

Everyone’s needs are different, so no set number suits everyone. Check your maternity hospital’s packing list or ask your midwife.

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

Wrap your used pad and put it in the bin.
