I used the kotex ones in the first week, as they were cushiony and helped with the pain of stiches and grazing. then after that i used the libra maternity ones (in a pink packet, with a waaay too peaceful and serene mum and bub on the cover LOL!). they were good after the initial heavy flow and when the stitches settled down.

Also, the kotex ones are good to rip open and stuff ice into when you first get out of hospital and need some cooling pain relief...(good idea to wrap ice in placcy bag or clingwrap first)...
