The Lansinoh discreet & absorbent Maternity Pads have been developed to be used from week 2 post-partum, when your post-birth bleeding starts to reduce and you start to become more active. Crafted from soft, breathable and dermatologically tested materials with no compromise on absorption levels. The slim Maternity Pads have been designed specifically for post-partum bleeding (also known as lochia) which requires a different level of absorbency than standard sanitary pads.
