Essentially yes, but The After (Pants) Party is designed for postpartum bodies. Super comfy to wear with an elastic waist, the anti-leak core and three-layer design ensures maximum absorbency and minimal accidents so you can feel comfy, dry and worry-free in early recovery.

Unlike pads, The After (Pants) Party Disposable Postpartum Underwear is an all-in-one solution. They’re made with an anti-leak core, a three-layer design for maximum absorbency and an elastic waist to feel soft and comfortable on your body as it changes. Some people choose to wear pads instead, and they’ll work! But pads can move and feel bulky, and you’ll also need to wear underwear with the pad. One more thing to pack (and wash). It’s our recommendation that you wear The After (Pants) Party in hospital, and for those early days when you need less fuss and all comfort, then move to pads once you’re home and bleeding has started to ease off.

The After (Pants) Party is designed to be worn after vaginal and Caesarean births. Regardless of how you birth, lochia, a.k.a postpartum bleeding, happens for about 4-6 weeks.

We recommend having two packs of The After (Pants) Party on hand after giving birth.

The top cover is made from silk fiber, with the base being an ultra absorbent non toxic polymer (SAP and wood pulp) and the waistband is spandex.
