I don't thin Thinx are recommended for those initial days home after having a baby and experiencing postpartum bleeding… but honestly I'm not totally sure. Personally, I preferred using a pad with the hospital mesh underwear since I'd add a Tucks into the mix a lot and it just felt cooling. I also appreciated the extra padding a pad offered those first few days (if you know what I mean!).
With that said, as far as how Thinx held up after my first postpartum period, they did amazing and honestly I wouldn't have survived without them. In fact, I wasn't prepared for the *heaviness* of my first postpartum period and actually bled through my leggings at Target with just a tampon. So let me just say, you will 100% want your Thinx for your first postpartum period. You will need ALL THE BACK UP! No one warned me and I wasn't prepared.
I love the mission behind the company too… “Breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation.” I wish they were around for my BFF and I in middle school!
