It is depends on your comfort. Yes, you can wear a normal pad but maternity pad is much more softer and gentle on your skin after all those injuries you had through Vagina birth. I'd recommend maternity pad for a better feeling, absorption etc. In my opinion, maternity pad is better. Menstruation flow ain't as much as Postpartum period, even if you wore a maternity pad... You still have to change very oftenly. Let alone wearing a normal pad, get what I mean? Normal pad isn't as soft as Maternity pad, there is a reason why they made different pad. After all, it's your choice.
