Lil-Lets maternity maxi pad 10ps

• Extra-long and extra-absorbent for the heavy post-partum lochia discharge after birth
• Soft, gentle surface appropriate for the sensitive post-partum perineal area that may have sutures
• No wings - the maternity pad design allows positioning without pressure on sensitive tissues
• 10 per pack - appropriate for the first days of post-partum use before flow reduces
• Lil-Lets' trusted feminine hygiene brand extended to specialist post-birth needs

Lil-Lets Maternity Maxi Pads are specifically designed for post-partum use in the days immediately following birth, when the volume of lochia (post-birth uterine discharge) is at its heaviest and the perineal area may be tender, bruised, or sutured. The extra-long, extra-absorbent, wing-free design accommodates the heavy initial post-partum flow while being gentle on the sensitive perineal area that requires careful care in the early post-birth period.

Specs

• Type: Maternity maxi pad - extra-long and extra-absorbent
• Use: Post-partum lochia / heavy post-birth discharge
• Wings: None - for perineal comfort
• Pack size: 10 pads
• Brand: Lil-Lets

Benefits

• Extra-long format provides the extensive front-to-back coverage needed for the volume and flow direction of post-partum lochia in the first 2 to 5 days after delivery, when discharge is heaviest and most unpredictable
• The wing-free design avoids pressure on the perineal area where episiotomies, tears, or sutures may be present - the gentle, unwrapped positioning allows adequate absorption without the mechanical pressure that winged pads apply to sensitive post-birth tissue
• Extra absorbency accommodates the heavy initial post-partum flow that frequently exceeds the capacity of regular sanitary pads in the first 24 to 48 hours after delivery, reducing the frequency of changes needed during a period when the new mother's mobility may be limited
• The soft top sheet material avoids the friction and potential irritation that rougher pad surfaces can cause on tender, swollen post-partum perineal tissue that is at risk of discomfort from any unnecessary mechanical contact
• Midwives and obstetricians routinely recommend maternity-specific pads for the first week post-partum because standard sanitary pads are not designed for the volume and character of post-birth lochia

How to Use

• Use from immediately after birth
• Position centrally without wings - the length provides the coverage needed without needing wing fastening
• Change every 2 to 4 hours in the first 24 to 48 hours when flow is heaviest or sooner if saturated
• Wash hands before and after changing
• Report to your midwife or physician if flow is bright red and very heavy beyond the first 24 hours, or if you pass large clots, as this may indicate post-partum haemorrhage requiring assessment
• Progress to standard sanitary pads as lochia changes from heavy red to lighter pink discharge over the first week
