Bubba Bump | Disposable Postpartum Underwear
Each pack contains 8 pairs of disposable postpartum underwear.
Postpartum disposable maternity underwear that is leak free, super comfortable and leaves you feeling secure post birth. Perfect for your hospital bag and during the initial postpartum period (fourth trimester) and beyond. You can wear them in place of sanitary pads after giving birth and are also a must for those who experience urinary incontinence, weak bladder muscles and pelvic core postpartum. These are a recovery essential.
The underwear absorbs blood, lochia, and can even be worn when waters break. They absorb 3X more than regular maxi pads and designed to be completely leak free.
Not sure what size to get? As a rough guide, size 14-20 should go Large and 6-12 Medium.
Having a planned C section? If you are on the fence for sizing go Large as you will be swollen for a little bit after your C section.
Perfect for both C-section and vaginal birth as they are high waisted and won't irritate C-section wounds.
