Trust & Pharmacist Advice Following childbirth, it is normal to experience vaginal bleeding known as lochia, which may continue for several weeks. During the first few days, bleeding is often heavier than a normal menstrual period, making specially designed maternity pads more suitable than standard sanitary towels. Change your maternity pad regularly to maintain good hygiene and comfort, particularly during the first few days after delivery. Wash your hands before and after changing pads and avoid using tampons until your midwife, GP or obstetric team advises it is safe to do so. If you experience extremely heavy bleeding, large blood clots, severe pain, fever, unpleasant-smelling discharge or have concerns about your recovery, seek urgent medical advice from your midwife, GP or maternity unit.

Medicare Maternity Pads are specially designed to absorb the heavier vaginal bleeding (lochia) that occurs after childbirth. They provide greater absorbency and cushioning than standard sanitary towels, helping keep you comfortable during the early weeks of postnatal recovery. They may also be used if your waters have broken before labour. 2. Can I use these immediately after giving birth? Yes. These pads are intended for use immediately after childbirth and are suitable during the early stages of postnatal recovery when bleeding is typically heaviest. They provide soft cushioning and reliable absorbency during this important recovery period. 3. How often should I change a maternity pad? You should change your maternity pad as often as necessary to stay clean and comfortable. During the first few days after delivery, this may mean changing pads every few hours or whenever they become wet or soiled. Frequent changing also helps reduce the risk of infection. 4. Can these pads be used if my waters have broken? Yes. Medicare Maternity Pads may be used before labour if your waters have broken. However, if you think your waters have broken, you should contact your maternity unit or healthcare professional for advice, as they will guide you on the next steps in your care. 5. Are maternity pads better than normal sanitary towels after birth? Yes. Maternity pads are specifically designed to cope with the heavier bleeding experienced after childbirth. They are generally thicker, more absorbent and softer than regular sanitary towels, providing greater comfort during postnatal recovery. 6. Are these pads sterile? No. Medicare Maternity Pads are supplied as non-sterile pads. They are intended for external use only and should be changed regularly to maintain good hygiene throughout the postnatal period. 7. How long will I need maternity pads after delivery? The length of time varies between women. Most mothers experience postnatal bleeding for several weeks after childbirth, although the amount gradually decreases over time. You may initially require maternity pads before changing to lighter sanitary towels as bleeding reduces. 8. Can I use tampons instead of maternity pads after giving birth? No. Tampons are generally not recommended immediately after childbirth because they may increase the risk of infection while the uterus and birth canal are healing. Healthcare professionals usually recommend using maternity pads until your postnatal bleeding has settled. 9. What are the pads made from? The pads feature a multi-layer construction including a highly absorbent cellulose fluff core, cellulose paper layers, soft non-woven materials and a protective hydrophobic outer layer. The absorbent layer is oxygen bleached without the use of chlorine. 10. What should I do if my bleeding becomes very heavy? If you soak through a maternity pad very quickly, pass large blood clots, develop severe abdominal pain, fever or notice unpleasant-smelling discharge, seek urgent advice from your midwife, GP or maternity unit, as these may require prompt medical assessment. 11. Are these suitable for sensitive skin? The soft non-woven surface is designed to maximise comfort during postnatal recovery. If you have particularly sensitive skin or develop irritation, discontinue use and seek advice from your healthcare professional. 12. Why buy Medicare Maternity Pads from Lir Pharmacy?
