Your preferred brand of maxi pads

I was impressed when my delivery hospital sent me home fairly stocked with both the diaper brand and formula I intended to get for my daughter, but when it comes to feminine products, don’t expect the name brands you might be used to. Postpartum bleeding will require a heavy duty sanitary napkin regardless of if you’ve had a c-section or a vaginal delivery. However, if you want wings, or any kind of modern absorption technology, stock up on the Kotex overnights before you get to delivery day.
