Still ttc so no personal experience, but they sell postpartum pads and the mesh panties on Amazon.

Answer

The hospital provided enough for me.

Answer

I used always infinite overnight the same as I use for my regular period. Everyone made me think Post partum was gonna be like some crazy flood of bleeding and I thought I would need diapers lol but for me by the time I left the hospital it was just a normal heavy period. The diapers they give you in the hospital are great while you're there but by the time you leave they aren't necessary I never used the ones I brought home.

Always overnight

Answer

Dermoplast pain relieving spray.  It's antibacterial and if you end up with stitches it will save your life!  I have a can in my bathroom already : ). Also the hospital will offer you a water bottle to squirt clean when you pee.  Take it home with you!  You won't want to do more than pat dry!  Tucks pads were a life saver too!  Stock up on all of it!  Best case scenario you won't need any of it but if you do need t you'll be sooooo glad it's already in your bathroom!
