Sanitary maternity pads are sized to provide a little extra coverage during pregnancy and after birth than standard sanitary pads.

Maternity pads should be used immediately after giving birth to manage postpartum bleeding, offering superior absorption and comfort. They are essential for both vaginal and C-section deliveries, as postpartum bleeding occurs in both cases. In addition to handling bleeding, maternity pads can absorb urine, addressing postpartum incontinence. On average, new mothers may need to change pads every four hours, requiring around six pads per day, totaling about 150 pads over four weeks. It's recommended to buy 2-3 packets in advance. Selecting the right size depends on comfort and the level of bleeding, with longer, high-absorbency pads being ideal for heavier flow.
