Ditto to what everyone else has said, but also--you could totally lie on a pad in bed and not have it fastened to your underwear if you think that would be more comfortable. There are disposable ways to do this (all hail the Chux Pad!) and probably lots of cloth options, too.
Ain't no shame in wearing some Depends, either.
My MW whipped up this lovely herbal/witch hazel concoction (the same stuff she had me use for my sitz bath) and dipped some post-partum pads in it, then stuck them in the freezer. I can't tell you how nice they felt in those first few days when I was so sore!
