After childbirth, many women notice their skin feels more sensitive, irritated, or uncomfortable — especially during postpartum bleeding and recovery.
Between hormonal changes, healing, and frequent pad use, postpartum skin irritation is extremely common.
That’s why choosing soft, breathable pads matters just as much as absorbency.
Maeves Pads are designed to provide:
- Gentle comfort
- Breathable protection
- Multiple absorbency levels
- Support for sensitive postpartum skin
From heavy overnight flow to light spotting days, the Maeves Full Cycle Bundle helps support every postpartum stage comfortably.
Why Postpartum Skin Becomes More Sensitive
Postpartum recovery may increase skin sensitivity because of:
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Healing tissues
- Moisture and friction
- Frequent pad changes
- Increased skin contact
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin sensitivity may increase during hormonal changes and recovery periods.
