I've been curious about which brand to try, so I ordered some Luna Pads and we'll see how it goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-882061 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:24:25 +0000 Modern Daisy 882061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, haha got it!

I am really interested in this, but I'm not quite sure what to look for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-882036 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:16:22 +0000 twinmama 882036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: I think that should be good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-882004 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:09:25 +0000 Mrs squirreld 882004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@glimmersnaps: @MerryC: Thanks ladies.. I have disposable for the first few days in hospital while its really heavy then I so far have 10 pp cloth pads...you think that's enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-881974 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:01:15 +0000 twinmama 881974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used disposables for the first week or so while everything was really heavy and I needed a lot of coverage. I actually used tena incontinence pads...they were really soft, thick, and long. After that I used glad rags. I have 2 packs of 3 I think, and never ran out before laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-881815 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:18:33 +0000 glimmersnaps 881815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be able to tell you in about a month! </p> <p>I had a few that I bought to try out during my regular period-- so I started with 3 longs and 3 mediums (Pink Daisy brand). I just got some Luna Pads to add to that. Luna Pads are interesting because you keep the pad on all day and change out the liner. So I got 2 longs and 2 maxipad size with 4 extra inserts in each size. I also got 4 pantiliners. I'm thinking I might also try a Moonbeam. (I'm sort-of trying out all the brands we carry where I work.) </p> <p>I'm generally not a super-heavy bleeder and last time I don't remember having much blood after the first week or so... but I've heard that some people have a lot. I'm planning to have a package of disposables on hand just in case! </p> <p>I'm imagining with this stash I should be washing them 2-3 times a week at the beginning and 1-2 times by they time things lighten up and I'm using the pantyliners in the rotation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-881680 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 07:43:20 +0000 Mrs squirreld 881680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>anybody?? :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-pads-postpartum-use#post-878636 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 05:40:10 +0000 Mrs squirreld 878636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those who used cloth pads for postpartum how many did you have in your stash and how often did you wash? Just working out my postpartum supplies! </p>
