I also used cloth post partum....You can get post partum pads that are designed to absorb more flow...I bought I think 12 post partum pads and hubby took them home in a wet bag with bubbas cloth nappies and did the washing each day. I had a disposable placed on me in theatre when I had the c-section but as soon as the nurses had established I had a normal flow and didnt have any bleeding/haemorraging issues I started using the cloth ones, so maybe had sposies for 4 hours tops......
I had no leaks, nothing like that at all and it was nice to have something soft against my bits after all they had been through.....
I didn't know about cloth pads post partum but have used them for 2 years now and love them. Honesty after the first 6-24 hrs the bleeding wasn't that heavy anyway. I sent home plenty of soiled undies and bras with hubby to soak until I came home - stupid disposables always leak - so sending home cloth pads wouldn't be a problem. Would your partner wash them for you?
Btw don't forget cloth breast pads too they are the BEST
