@dovkav,
I haven't seen tuck pads so far, but since they are pads soaked in witch hazel, wipes sold for hemorrhoids should do the trick. Nearly all piles "salbe" brands offer wipes, i.e. hametum. I bought witch hazel water and I am planning to soak cotton pads in a container and put them in the fridge
Witch hazel is Zaubernuss in German but it is usually sold as Hamameliswasser.
As to cloth diapers - phew...I will try, but when you talk about cloth diapering, the market is very old school, so many cloth diapering mothers are forced to shop online.
Anything starts with mull is muslin =) Mullwindeln is actually same with muslin clothes, people use for various things. But in Germany, they also use them as flats - imagine very old school cloth diapers with pins and needles... ok now they do it with snappy.
Mullwaschlappen is the same... simple muslin clothes but smaller size - used for cleaning spills, baby fluids etc.
Moltontucher, molton is a thick fine %100 cotton fabric. It is very absorbent. It has some variations, i.e. one side molton, the other side plastic. To my knowledge, it is used as a changing pad or mattress protector
They can be also used for swaddling if both sides are cotton. Some people use small size moltontucher as prefold cloth diapers for nights. Than it is called moltoneinlage.
Diaper inserts are called "einlage" in general.
Flanelltuch is receiving blanket. They are also used as flats in old school cloth diapering.
We decided to use cotton prefolds - because all in ones, pocket diapers and other material such as microfaser, bamboo etc take more time to dry and you do not want that with a winter baby in German weather. No trockner, and no intention to buy one.
Cloth diaper covers are called "überhose". There are many different kinds of überhosen. Flushable liners are called (einweg) Windelvlies.
I do not know if it is German or Austrian, there is a brand called Popolini. It has a wide range of stoffwindeln. It sells solo überhosen but they are without pockets (google: popolini popo wrap) . I wanted one with pockets so I bought Blueberry Capri from ebay
Popolini also has prefolds. I bought Xkko brand, its organic and its cheaper. It is a Czech brand and it has a .eu web shop in English- where you can order stuff with better prizes. Popolini ones were very expensive in comparison.
Disana wool diapers (strickwindlen) are also very popular. It is a German brand, so it is easily available at baby stores. If you are into lanolin, that is the brand to go by.

oh those cheeks, they must be so soft, oh i m making cookie monster sound, so kissable hom nomnom.
So yours is eternal I guess. I hope suppositories help and they are not space rocket size! Mine hurt like 4 days, violent pain, agony. It drained the life out of me. I was not even constipated. Those who gave birth before talk about this "ring of fire", i think i have an idea how it burns burns burns 
. So that's three injections a day along with the seven blood tests
