In the first days after giving birth, your body sheds lochia (a mix of mucous, tissue and blood as the womb replaces its lining), and it's usually far heavier than a normal period. These maternity pads are shaped and layered specifically for that stage, so you can focus on settling in with your baby rather than worrying about coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach pad measures roughly 235 mm long and 85 mm wide, making it longer, wider and thicker than an everyday sanitary pad.
