Carriwell Premium Organic Maternity Pads 10s

The Carriwell Premium Organic Maternity Pads are absorbent postpartum pads made specifically for the tender, sensitive days after birth. They're designed to hold lochia — the normal vaginal bleeding and discharge that follows delivery — while keeping fragile skin comfortable. Made from 100% natural organic materials with no plastic, parabens, dyes or added fragrances, they're a gentler, more environmentally conscious option if you're building your hospital bag or restocking for the first weeks at home.

Postpartum bleeding is usually heaviest in the early days, so these pads are made wider, thicker and longer than a standard pad, with a soft cushioned core to soak up more between changes. The idea is simple: fewer disruptions, more coverage, and materials that feel kind against skin that may be sore or healing.

Made for sensitive postpartum skin

The pads are made from 100% natural raw cotton that feels soft and gentle where you need it most, together with 100% natural plant-based fibres sourced from renewable, responsibly managed FSC-certified forests. They're described by the manufacturer as hypoallergenic, clinically tested and non-irritant, plastic-free, chemical-free and non-toxic — which matters when you're placing a pad against skin that's recovering from birth.

Absorbency and coverage

A thicker, cushioned build gives superior absorbency for heavier bleeding, and the extended length adds coverage that's designed to help guard against leaks and give fuller protection. Because they hold more, you may find you need fewer pad changes through the day — and the same combination of absorbency and size makes them well suited to overnight use, when you'd rather not be up more than you have to. A reduced-shifting adhesive backing helps keep each pad in place for a more secure, comfortable fit.

A more natural, breathable choice

Alongside the comfort factor, these pads are breathable and biodegradable, so they suit parents looking for a postpartum option with a lighter environmental footprint without giving up on absorbency.

Best For

The Carriwell Premium Organic Maternity Pads are a good fit for parents who:

• Want a soft, breathable pad for the sensitive postpartum period
• Are managing heavier early bleeding and prefer a thicker, longer, higher-absorbency pad
• Prefer natural, plastic-free, fragrance-free materials against healing skin
• Need dependable overnight coverage in the first days and weeks after birth

They may be less suited to you later in recovery, once bleeding has tapered off and a lighter pad or liner feels more comfortable.

Pandylane Pro Tip: It's worth packing a few extra packs than you think you'll need. Many facilities supply some pads, but bleeding volume and how long it lasts vary a lot from person to person — so having a spare pack or two at home means one less thing to organise in those first tired days.

Postpartum bleeding is a normal part of recovery, but the amount and pattern are clinical matters. If you're concerned about heavy bleeding, unusual discharge, pain or fever, please contact your maternity service or healthcare professional.
