After a woman gives birth, the exit where the baby comes out bleeds.... Profusely.... Usually for a few days, but could go for a few weeks. Something that regular pads can't handle.

It's basically an essential item that should be given out free to all mothers and it's locked behind a glass case.

Like, even Depends adult diapers wouldn't be sufficient for postpartum bleeding?

after my most violent birth, I just remember having the luxury of being at home for months and having access to the toilet all day 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was 17 years ago but the memories are coming back to me now, yeah it was pretty much like giving birth three more times with all the blood and god-knows-what-solid-bloody-tissue-chunks still coming out of me days after.

It was a murder scene each time my wife needed to freshen up.

I didn't take the photo, but Target had the adult diapers locked up too.

Fucking hate this.

Freshen up

I can't help picturing her excusing herself from the room daintily:

"Pardon me while I go freshen up."

...Bloody murder scene ensues
