Disposable underwear
I just started doing some research on what to pack for the hospital, and one site said to buy disposable underwear. Has anyone done this? Do you recommend it?

Re: Disposable underwear
I used it (Depends brand) when I had my DD and they were awesome. I had a C-section and the stretchy band fit perfectly up and over my belly so nothing was rubbing on the scar. I put the hospital pad inside it. It was very comfortable.

Re: Disposable underwear
Most hospitals gives you a ton of the mesh disposable ones (I said most because some still have the belt one where you tie the ends of the pads to it reminds me of a jock strap for women).
If you like you can pick up a pack of Hanes Briefs aka granny panties if you prefer to wear your own over the mesh. I personally prefer the mesh especially if you end up with a csection.

Re: Disposable underwear
I used what the hospital gave me and even took a bunch home to use afterwards. And buy a bunch of big granny panties, too, that are bigger and you won't be upset if they get ruined.

Re: Disposable underwear
I've posted this here before but I'll add it again, my hospital didn't have these. I was expecting to use them instead of my underwear and wound up with nothing. Had to waddle to the bathroom holding a big blue plastic pad between my legs infront of MIL since she got there before DH returned with underwear. Bring some of your own just incase lol!

Re: Disposable underwear
Huntington hospital didn't offer me any sort of underwear. I was really glad I brought the disposable. I wonder if they have it you ask for it or they just don't have any...

Re: Disposable underwear
Southside didn't have mesh underwear either when I had my dd. But that was 2.5 years ago so they may now.

Re: Disposable underwear
I delivered at St. Catherine's twice, and they also did not have the mesh underwear. I just asked the nurse in Post Partum, and they have them now.

Re: Disposable underwear
When I delivered at St. Charles, they gave you one pair in delivery but once you got to Maternity, they didn't have them. I always brought my own cheap underwear that I threw away afterwards. This was a few years ago, so I'm not sure if it is still the case.

A few people recommended getting a package of depends for the hospital. I did that and it was great.
