The First Days Maternity Disposable Postpartum Absorbent Underwear are disposable, all-in-one pants made for the heavier bleeding after birth (lochia). Each pair has a highly absorbent core built in, so there's no maternity pad to position and no pad shifting or bunching. You simply pull them on, day or night. This pack holds 7 pairs, each individually wrapped, and comes in two sizes: S/M and L/XL.
They're designed for the stage when a standard maternity pad doesn't feel like enough, and the higher waistband makes them suitable after both vaginal births and C-sections.
Layer by layer
- Organic cotton top sheet: A soft, breathable layer against sensitive postpartum skin.
- Absorbent core: Elemental chlorine-free natural wood pulp with super absorbent polymers to lock in flow.
- Waterproof backing: Helps keep leaks off your clothes and bedding.
- Stretch fit: A flexible pull-on shape that adapts as your body changes after birth, giving secure coverage without digging in.
Best For
The First Days Maternity Absorbent Underwear is a great option for parents who:
- Are packing a hospital bag and want something simple for the first days after birth
- Would rather not juggle maternity pads and hospital panties
- Have had, or are planning, a C-section and want a higher waistband
- Want overnight protection for the heaviest days
Pandylane Pro Tip: They're designed to be used with the First Days Maternity Perineal Cold Packs and Witch Hazel Pads, so packing all three together gives you a ready-made recovery kit for the hospital bag.
Please note
These are single-use, so dispose of them in a bin after use rather than flushing. Bleeding after birth usually eases over the first few weeks. Contact your midwife or doctor if it becomes heavier, you pass large clots, or you notice a fever or an unpleasant smell.
