The Carriwell Hospital Readiness Value Pack brings together the two postpartum basics you'll reach for most in the first days after birth: maternity pads and hospital panties. It's put together as a simple, ready-to-pack option for your hospital bag, covering the practical side of managing after-birth bleeding (lochia) hygienically and discreetly, whether you've had a vaginal birth or a caesarean.
The pack includes 12 maternity pads and two hospital panties in a size range that fits S–XL. The pads are shaped to sit comfortably against sensitive, recovering skin, while the panties are designed specifically to hold a post-birth pad securely in place — so you're not fighting with a slipping pad while you're moving, sitting or resting.
Comfort designed for early recovery
Those first days are tender, and the small things make a real difference. The hospital panties use a light, soft fabric with good breathability, which helps them feel gentle rather than restrictive when everything still feels a bit raw. The soft, breathable design is also well suited to caesarean recuperation, allowing a scar to breathe rather than sitting under heavier, tighter fabric.
How it works
- Secure hold: The hospital panties are designed to keep a post-birth incontinence pad in place, so it stays where you need it while you move around.
- Breathable fabric: The light, soft material lets air move, which adds to comfort against sensitive postpartum skin.
- Caesarean-friendly: The soft fabric is suited to caesarean recovery because it allows the scar area to breathe.
Best For
The Carriwell Hospital Readiness Value Pack is a great option for parents who:
- Are packing a hospital bag and want the after-birth bleeding basics sorted in one go
- Have had a vaginal or caesarean birth and want soft, breathable cover over tender skin
- Prefer panties made to hold a maternity pad securely rather than relying on regular underwear
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Already have your maternity pads and only need underwear (or vice versa)
- Need a larger quantity of pads to see you through the full recovery period
Carriwell products in this pack are recommended and endorsed by leading childbirth educators, doulas, midwives and hospitals.
A note on what to expect
These items help you manage and stay comfortable during normal postpartum bleeding — they don't assess or treat it. Every recovery is different, so if you have concerns about how much you're bleeding, pain, swelling or how a wound is healing, please check in with your maternity facility or healthcare professional. It's also worth confirming with your hospital what they supply, as this varies from place to place.
