The Postpartum Pads and Maxi/Night+ Pads Bundle brings together two Mooncup essentials to support your body through the fourth trimester and beyond:

• 2x boxes of Postpartum Pads: Extra-long, heavy-flow protection for bleeding after birth, with secure wings and a soft organic cotton topsheet.
• 2x boxes of Maxi/Night+ Pads: Serious absorbency for heavier periods and overnight protection, with extra coverage and secure wings.

From postpartum bleeding to your first periods after birth, we've got you covered.

No, we've designed this bundle to have everything you need. 

Absolutely! Whether it's your first baby or your fifth, the Postpartum Pads and Maxi/Night+ Pads Bundle is designed to support you through postpartum recovery and beyond.

From heavier bleeding in the first days after birth to those first periods when they eventually return, we've brought together two absorbent essentials for the days and nights ahead.

Because every birth is different, but everyone deserves a little care for the fourth.

Postpartum pads are designed specifically for the heavier, less predictable bleeding that happens after giving birth. Unlike regular period pads, Mooncup Postpartum Pads are extra-long and wide, with heavy-flow absorbency and secure wings for added protection while your body recovers.

Lochia is the bleeding and discharge you experience after giving birth. It's your body's way of shedding blood, mucus and tissue as your uterus recovers.

It's usually heaviest in the first few days, gradually becoming lighter over the following weeks. Postpartum bleeding commonly lasts around four to six weeks, although everyone's recovery is different.

Absolutely. Postpartum bleeding happens after both vaginal and caesarean births, so you'll still need protection even if you haven't given birth vaginally.

Our Postpartum Pads are designed for every kind of birth, with a soft organic cotton topsheet that's gentle on sensitive, recovering skin.

Regular period pads aren't designed for the heavier bleeding you may experience after birth.

Mooncup Postpartum Pads offer extra length, width and heavy-flow absorbency, with wings that stay put. Because the last thing you need is a pad that needs constant adjusting.

Change your pad regularly, particularly during the first few days when bleeding is often heavier. As a general guide, aim to change it every three to four hours, or sooner if needed.

If you're soaking through a pad in an hour, passing very large clots or feeling faint or unwell, seek urgent medical advice.

It's worth packing at least two packs of postpartum pads for those first days after birth, when bleeding is often at its heaviest.

You may go through quite a few initially, so having some extras waiting at home isn't a bad idea either. One less thing to think about when you've got a newborn in your arms.

You can dispose of Mooncup Postpartum & Maxi Pads in your regular waste bin. Unlike mainstream pads, they won’t linger in landfill for centuries. Our Postpartum & Maxi Pads break down within one year, even in landfill conditions. 

This has been verified through testing based on ASTM D5511. Biodegradation rates may vary depending on disposal location and environmental conditions.

The fourth trimester is the first 12 weeks after giving birth. A time of sleepless nights, endless feeds and getting to know your baby, all while your own body is recovering.

There's a lot of preparation for bringing a baby into the world. But considerably less conversation about what happens to the person who's just given birth.

That's why we're here to Care for the Fourth. Because postpartum recovery deserves just as much thought as everything that comes before it.

And that includes what goes in your pants.

Our Postpartum & Maxi Pads are free from Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs), the petroleum-based plastics commonly used in conventional pads.

Instead, we've focused on breathable materials and heavy-flow protection without relying on SAPs. They're also free from synthetic fragrances and dyes.

Mooncup Postpartum & Maxi Pads are made with a 100% organic cotton topsheet and a cellulose absorbent core. That means no fragrances, no dyes, no petroleum plastics - just what works.

Here’s what’s in our Postpartum & Maxi Pads:

• Topsheet: 100% GOTS certified organic cotton
• Absorbent core: cellulose
• Leakproof back sheet: cornstarch
• Adhesive: non-toxic, latex free and rosin free
• Waxed release paper
• Tissue wrapper

Yes. We've designed them with a soft, 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton topsheet that's gentle on tender, healing skin.

No SAPs, synthetic fragrances or dyes. Just breathable protection, without the unnecessary extras.

Yes! Mooncup Postpartum & Maxi Pads are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from animal-derived materials.

When we say plastic-free, we mean free from petroleum-based plastics like PE or PP.

In our pads and liners we use a plant-based biopolymer made from cornstarch (PLA), which is compostable and biodegradable (certified to EN 13432 and ASTM standards), non-toxic in both production and end of life, and completely biobased.

While PLA is technically a polymer, it is not petroleum-derived and is accepted under leading ecological standards such as GOTS.

We clearly disclose its use and independently validate all our claims to ensure transparency and compliance with the most rigorous sustainability standards.

Due to the intimate nature of our products, we can’t offer returns or exchanges on our Period Pants, Cleaning Pot, Pads, Tampons or Liners unless faulty.
