Csect maternity underwear @ hospital

Hi mommies that went through Csec @ KKH, the disposable panties hospital give is it the normal one or high waisted ? If i were to bring my own disposable panties, does it need to be high waisted or not necessary ? And for csec mommies, any of you use the kotext panties during your hospital stay? Was it ok? Will it affect the wound ? #firsttimemom

recent C-sec patient at KKH here, the disposable panties provided is the maternity types. It's kind of huge and very high waisted for size S/M people. I had to fold the waist band down to keep it away from my incision site and my postpartum belly for the first week. Will be helpful as well when you are on binder and need to use the toilet. I didn't used the Kotex panties that I brought along as it was abit tight and rubs alot on my incision site. (personally feel that the panties might be too stuffy for the wound as I perspire a lot and the recent weather is too humid)Would prefer to use the disposable ones + maternity pad provided or the very low cut panties that won't touch the incision site.
