I also used the Kotex ones for the first week or so - I bled quite heavily and for a long time, unfortunately - but the last few weeks was just annoying spotting that hung around for ages. This time I have bought a pack of Kotex ones and alspo have a pack of the Libra (I think) ultra-slim maternity pads, and then normal slim pads with wings for after that. Not looking forward to the whole bleeding after pregnancy thing again and not being able to use tampons... Yuk!
