Medicare Maternity Pads 10 Pack

Medicare Maternity Pads 10 Pack

Medicare Maternity Pads are specially designed to provide comfort, protection and absorbency during the post-natal period. They are made to manage heavy post-birth bleeding (lochia) while offering a soft and cushioned feel against sensitive skin.

These pads are longer and more absorbent than standard sanitary towels, helping to give extra reassurance and protection following childbirth or gynaecological procedures.

Medicare Maternity Pads are suitable for use immediately after delivery and during early post-partum recovery.
