I have not had a baby in 6 years now so I haven't had to use feminine pads since then. I totally forget which ones I used for my youngest but my 6.16 due date is coming up quickly and I want to be prepared for when I come home. I know the hospital will give me a bunch but I know I also will bleed for a couple of weeks and its 5-10 pads a day so the hospital won't be able to provide anywhere near that. I have bought some light pads and regular pads for forwards the end. But what are you recommendations for heavy pads. Which brand worked best for you, Always, Stay Free, Kotex a store brand. Thank you in advance!!!
