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.....
