Alish- When you are up and walking around, you shouldn't have to wear then but long periods of little movement, especially laying down, is when it is most important as that's when clots have the highest risk of forming. I had natural but I still got myself a clot and had to wear them for 3weeks.

Zap- OMG that is hilarious! I didn't put mine the wrong way, I was using a nappy but ended up with a soaked shirt yesterday. Was so embarrasing, worst of all, the wet patch was cold when my shirt touched my belly lol
