Product Information

While the chances are you won’t be getting much sleep when your little one arrives, the last thing you want to wake up to in the middle of the night is a leaking pad. These Maxi Overnight pads are not specifically designed for postpartum use but they are nevertheless a brilliant option for those with heavy flows and come highly recommended by many new mothers. Maternity pads have been designed for a reason: simply put, regular sanitary towels aren’t up to the job in the weeks after you’ve given birth. You need all the protection and support you can get during the postpartum period as the blood flow is quite heavy during this time. Maternity pads tend to be a lot more absorbent than regular sanitary towels and are often longer and wider, too, meaning you won’t constantly have to be changing your pad throughout the day.

When it comes to reusing them, you just need to pop them in the washing machine and push the ‘on’ button. The manufacturer says you should be able to get at least 10 years worth of use from these pads. That being the case it makes sense to hold onto them if you’re thinking of adding to your brood in the coming years. After the pad absorbed the liquid, we found it was dry to touch. The underwear also remained dry underneath. Additionally, the pad assisted with masking some of the liquid’s smell. We did detect the occasional whiff, but the pad masked most odors. Based on our testing, we found that the thinness of the pad did not work as a disadvantage. Instead, the pad has a high absorbency for its size while the sleek design makes it possible to wear the pad without seeing it through clothing. We also love that it offers odor protection from leakage. Keep in mind that the pad’s more discrete design might not protect the full length and width of your underwear. Organyc’s breathable cotton pads are ideal for mothers who would prefer a maternity pad made from organic and sustainable materials but who, for whatever reason, can’t consider reusable pads. These ultra-clean, eco-friendly pads are fragrance-, latex- and chlorine-free, making them a superb option for those who prefer to use products with minimal harmful additives. As well as being good for the planet, they’re also designed to avoid causing irritation to sensitive skin or stitched-up areas that need extra care.

Most disposable pads are made from cotton. Cotton is an all-natural, breathable fabric that absorbs moisture, but it’s often grown with harmful chemicals that can be irritating and potentially unsafe. Buying organic pads is gentler on sensitive skin and delicate areas. Eco-friendly

While undeniably on the pricier side, these are fantastic organic all-rounders with lots of nice touches. Because these pads contain a highly absorbent core, comfort and dryness should be a given, post-birth.
