Yep...I've been stalking the aisles at Coles for maternity pads too...

There was a thread on this somewhere...or maybe it was several threads...think there were some posts on this topic here...

Packing the bags!!

Based on those threads, I bought a couple of packs of the Kotex maternity pads for the initial week or so...apparently they are pretty huge ("surfboards")...but many of the BB girls were recommending them due to their absorbency and softness...

Alot of the BB girls were also saying that after a few days or a week (depending upon their blood loss), they were able to switch over to the slimmer pads...

I bought the kotex ones at Coles the other day...think they were around $4 for a pack of 10...

So...I'm going to start with the surfboards and then hopefully switch...

Good luck!
