After giving birth, your tummy can be slightly tender, so they kind of hug your waist just right. They're also large enough to hold the large pads you need the first couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-680711 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:26:29 +0000 maybebaby 680711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stupid question about the mesh--it sounds like with all the PP "stuff" that comes out, what exactly is the point of the mesh? I know there are giant pads that catch all that but the idea of mesh sounds like it would just come through the mesh--or is mesh just that they are disposable? I have a few pairs a friend gave me that she couldn't use and I am all about doing whatever is the most convenient/most sanitary, but I guess I just don't "get" it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-680505 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:02:29 +0000 matador84 680505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore Hanes boy shorts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-680425 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:36:01 +0000 pastemoo 680425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My own--but I was in the hospital for 5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679288 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 17:05:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 679288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hospital was so stingy with the mesh panties. I had to beg the nurse to give me a fresh pair on my check out day. </p> <p>I had a pack of old lady white high rise Hanes ones that I wore for the first few days and then switched to regular. I was wearing a pad for 8 week though so no thongs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679287 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 17:05:15 +0000 loveisstrange 679287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Giant ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679277 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:44:13 +0000 Running Elley 679277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: same!</p> <p>Bought granny panties but the top was tight and uncomfortable so it was mesh all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679254 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:23:30 +0000 Springtime 679254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved the mesh panties! I brought my own granny panties to wear but they were too tight up top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679252 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:22:46 +0000 brownie 679252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought granny panties for that purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679242 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:12:58 +0000 rachiecakes 679242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mesh didn't work for me, kept falling off. I needed my regular stretches to hold the pads on tight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679239 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:10:44 +0000 duckduckkristen 679239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I needed to wear my own panties so that I could feel human again! I was not a fan of the mesh ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679234 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:04:34 +0000 shopaholic 679234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: lol!!! I never realized how long it would be till I'd wear a thing again too.</p> <p>@.twist.: I still have no idea when a thong will be okay but I'm starting to get used to VPLs!</p> <p>Mesh! And I only knew of them because of HB! I kept asking for more because of these kinds of posts to hoard them! I think I still have almost a dozen pairs! But I had to wear normal underwear after a couple days home to feel normal again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679229 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:01:42 +0000 Ree723 679229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know what mesh underwear is! I just wore normal undies - I bought some cheap ones from Target that I didn't care if I ruined and they were fine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679224 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:54:53 +0000 babycanuck 679224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read on another site about ladies wearing Depends/Tena instead of the mesh ones. Anyone here done that? It sounds funny but I can only at this point imagine the mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679218 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:40:52 +0000 .twist. 679218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: haha! They sound so delightful! I've never heard of them although in 4 months I'm sure I'll love them as much as everyone else in this entire thread. </p> <p>I had a moment of wondering when I'd get to wear a thong again, but I'm sure I'll be happier without a thong for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679209 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:33:38 +0000 Pink Champagne 679209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: oh honey, you don't know? They are gigantic panties made of mesh that you stick your gigantic pads to to catch all the yuckies that come out after you have your baby.<br /> I too felt like I should have some sort of celebration when I finally put on real underwear. Boy shorts from Target were my best friends for months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679201 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:29:32 +0000 .twist. 679201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is hilarious.

With the huuuuge pads. Whenever this topic comes up I always think of the OMGMom saying she packed a thong thinking she would wear it home from the hospital and I just laugh and laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679058 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 12:08:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 679058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have worn the mesh panties if I was able to steal some for home! I was moved into a different ward after giving birth and no one knew where the panties where stashed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-undies-did-you-wear-home-from-the-hospital#post-679047 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 11:58:30 +0000 heffalump 679047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mesh.

I felt like I almost needed a graduation ceremony when I put my own undies on for the first time, lol </p>
