How many pairs of maternity underwear do I need?

When should I pack my hospital bag?
It's advisable to pack your hospital bag around the 36th week of pregnancy. This ensures you're prepared for any unexpected early arrivals while allowing ample time to gather essentials. Include items like comfortable clothing, toiletries, important documents, snacks, and baby essentials to make your hospital stay more comfortable.
Do I need disposable underwear after giving birth?
Whether to use disposable underwear after giving birth is a personal choice, and it depends on your comfort preferences and recovery needs. Some women find disposable underwear convenient during the postpartum period, especially in the first few days when there may be significant bleeding and discharge. Disposable underwear is designed to be convenient, hygienic, and often provides good coverage and support.
However, others may prefer using washable and reusable postpartum underwear, which can be more eco-friendly and may feel more comfortable to some individuals. These reusable options are designed to handle postpartum bleeding and are often made with soft, breathable materials.
Consider having both disposable and reusable options packed in your hospital bag. It allows you to choose based on your comfort and recovery needs. Additionally, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual circumstances and recovery plan.
