We went home before the 48hr mark, and I didn't use any... I guess it depends on you too - when your milk comes and whether you'll need them beforehand. Can't hurt to take a few and if you need more someone can get them for you

I'm keen to use washable breast pads... can anyone recommend which ones I should get?
Thanks!

Google the weewuns - they sell all sorts of cloth stuff. I bought the swaddlebees velour ones from this site. Like Caro said, the washables aren't slim-line, so they show through your clothes if you wear something tight.
But I reckon I've saved a packet of money by using these instead of disposables, so from that point of view, I totally recommend them. Oh, and they are so soft and lovely

i was v impressed with the mommy's touch brand washable breastpads. One of the few brands that are made large enough to actually do the job, and the PUL backing made them waterproof. The microfleece lining next to your breast, was nice when i was feeling rather tender.
I baulked at the price to start with, but after i had my baby, realised how useful they were, and how much i leaked otherwise (with the disposable ones and other brand cloth ones that were too small), i went and bought more pairs, i found them indispensable. they dry fast after washing too.
got them at Nature's Cradle website, they come in pastel plain colours, i got the large size and i'm a D cup. Seemed overkill at the time, but after having baby, i really DID need that size.
i also discovered whatever the disposable ones wewe made of, irritated my skin
