Postpartum: sanitary pads causing spots/itchiness 😬
Anyone else still bleeding and fed up with sanitary pads? I'm 3 weeks postpartum, and although I bleed much less now, I can go a couple of days with no blood at all, and then on the third day it all comes back 🥴 So I need to wear pads constantly BUT I have noticed they're causing spots to appear on my bum cheeks 😭 and just general discomfort because of all the plastic. Has anyone found a workaround?

Also 3 weeks pp and was having this issue, mine is light enough now I've switched from maternity pads to normal ones that don't go as far up the back! It is a bit more comfortable but also really can't wait to not need any!! X
@Tam I can't wait to go back to cotton liners! It would work on some days but I wouldn't dare if I was going out of the house 😅

I have the same thing! Also 3 weeks pp. Just generally very uncomfortable. I sometimes use cotton liners instead but obviously that only works on lighter days. Really ready for it to stop now!
