Postpartum pads are essential for managing the heavy bleeding, known as lochia, that occurs after childbirth. These pads are specifically designed to handle the increased flow during the first few days or weeks postpartum, offering maximum absorbency and protection. 

➜ They are typically larger and more absorbent than regular menstrual pads, providing full coverage to prevent leaks and ensure comfort.

➜ When choosing postpartum pads, opt for organic cotton and fragrance free options to minimize irritation on sensitive skin.

➜ As bleeding decreases over time, you can transition to lighter pads, but having a supply of postpartum pads on hand is crucial for the immediate recovery period.
