maternity pad or normal pad

Hi, issit ok to use normal pad as maternity pad? I have normal one about 40cm long and some people say I can use that and double up. Is there any difference between normal and maternity pad? TIA

Which hosp are you giving birth in? At TMC, they will provide a pack of Intimate maternity pads (no wings). I found that sufficient. After that I switched to the normal pad (35cm & abv) with wings.. Otherwise, Sofy cooling pads are nice to use as it gives you that cooling sensation, esp after having a vaginal delivery.. I also find Kotex Overnight Panties comfortable to use during initial lochia discharge. You want something that doesn’t shift too much :)

My hospital is NUH. Ouh that's a good idea to use the kotex panties. :)
