Maternity Hospital Bag Checklist
For postpartum recovery, many new mums find it helpful to pack Lil‑Lets Maternity Maxi Pads with Wings to manage post‑birth bleeding, Lil‑Lets Maternity Wipes to help you feel clean and fresh if you can’t easily get to the bathroom, and Lil‑Lets Breast Pads to protect against breast milk leaks. These hospital‑bag essentials are designed to offer reliable protection, gentle cleansing, and added comfort when you need it most.
Together, they help you feel more prepared and supported during your recovery so you can focus on yourself and your new arrival.

Most new mums find they’ll use 3–4 packs of maternity pads in the first couple of weeks after birth. It’s a good idea to have this amount ready before your baby arrives. We recommend packing at least two packs in your hospital bag, as your post‑natal bleeding (lochia) will be heaviest immediately after birth and you may need to change your pad every hour or two in those early hours and days. Don’t worry, the flow reduces steadily as the weeks go by, so your need to change pads frequently will lessen.
The Lil‑Lets maternity range offers a wide selection of products to support you through every stage, all under one trusted brand name, so you can mix and match confidently as your needs change. Immediately after birth, the Lil‑Lets Maxi Maternity Pads are ideal for managing lochia, with extra length, thickness, and high absorbency. As bleeding becomes lighter and you want to feel more mobile, many people choose Lil‑Lets Ultra Maternity Pads for reliable protection with a slimmer, more discreet feel, and both come with wings for extra security.
To help you feel clean and fresh before and after birth, Lil‑Lets Maternity Wipes are gentle and convenient, while Lil-Lets Maternity Liners are perfect when you no longer need a pad but still want everyday freshness and reassurance. To complete the range, Lil‑Lets Breast Pads are super soft and individually wrapped, making them easy to use at home or on the go.

Lil‑Lets maternity products are designed to offer gentle, reliable support during pregnancy and after birth. The range includes maternity pads, breast pads, and intimate wipes, all created to feel soft, comfortable, and reassuring against sensitive skin. With absorbent, body‑shaped designs that help protect against leaks and stains, they’re made to support you as you adjust to life with your newborn, comfortably and confidently.
Maternity pads are specially designed for use before and after birth, particularly during the weeks of post‑natal bleeding (lochia), when you need more absorbency, coverage, and comfort than a regular pad can provide.
Lil‑Lets Maternity Maxi Pads with wings are ideal straight after birth, when bleeding is heaviest. These extra‑long, thick maxi pads absorb fluid quickly and hold it deep in the core. They feature a wider back for extra coverage, stay‑put wings for security, and a super‑soft, gently cushioned cover that’s kind to delicate skin, especially important if you’ve had stitches. They’re fragrance‑free, individually wrapped for hygiene and easy disposal, and perfect for hospital bags. We recommend packing at least two packs for your stay.
As your post‑natal bleeding reduces, many people switch to Lil‑Lets Maternity Ultra Pads with wings. These are ultra‑thin but super absorbent, helping you feel dry and comfortable while allowing a bit more freedom of movement. They’re extra‑long with a wider back, fragrance‑free, and have a soft cover that remains gentle on sensitive skin. Individually wrapped, they’re ideal for use at home or when you’re out and about.

They’re ideal for use between maternity pad or pantyliner changes, helping you feel clean, fresh, and comfortable without irritation.

Maternity pads are designed specifically for use after giving birth, when your body is healing and bleeding is heavier than a normal period. They’re more absorbent, helping manage lochia (post‑birth bleeding), and are longer and thicker to give you better coverage and peace of mind.
They’re also made to be softer and more cushioned, which can make a real difference if you’re feeling sore or tender. Products like the Lil‑Lets Maxi Maternity Pad are designed with this extra comfort and protection in mind, making them a popular choice in the early days after birth when your body needs a little extra care.
