Fits comfortably, leak proof, has a smooth feel to it, and shows no bulge. Great for postpartum use!
TMI alert:
I bought this product for postpartum use. I am still 35 weeks pregnant and haven’t had the chance to use it for the purpose I bought them.
When I opened the package, it looked pretty big and I thought it would be too loose. However, I tried one just in case to see how it fits and it fits me comfortably. I am 5ft tall and about 144lb at 35 weeks. I have a small waist and a medium sized butt.
I wore them to the Avengers movie, though couldn’t bring myself to pee in them. For quality check purposes, I came back home and peed in them once and it didn’t leak and held about a bladder full of urine. ;) It felt a little uncomfortable at first, but I certainly feel it would hold quite a bit of urine in case of accidents. Since, I didn’t buy it for incontinence purposes, I am not concerned about peeing in them, apart from it being able to hold few trickles and dribbles.
However, I have a lot of discharge from a cervical cerclage and it felt more comfortable than using panty liners. My panty liners get wet from the discharge I have.
The fragrance is minimal and not annoying to me at all. I reckon it would work better than the large pads and mesh panties.
However, I will update the review once I try them on postpartum. Overall, love the way it fits and doesn’t bulge out of my jeans!
Update: I had the baby vaginally 4 days ago(35w4d, 4d after posting the first review) and these work great for postpartum use. They contain the lochia well without leaking. Also, the medium sized hospital pads fit pretty well in them. No more mesh panties and those large hospital pads for this mama! I love the Discreet underwear for the ease of use and the soft non-allergic feel against my swollen perineum. I had a second degree tear and the stitches don’t seem to prick with these unlike other normal pads. I wish I had used these the first time around too. I lost 10 pounds after delivering the baby, and these still fit comfortably.
