Questions & Answers
It's just like a regular pad, except it doesn't have a sticky stripe and lasts about 20 minutes.
No, there isn't a sticky strip included. I received a package with a green plastic cover that did not include a self-adhesive strip. The product is shown in a purple plastic package that is identical to the ones I received from the hospital, which included a self-adhesive strip. After using one with an adhesive strip (from the hospital) and one without an adhesive strip (purchased from Amazon), I would say that the adhesive strip would not help much because it would still move around a little. I hope this has been of assistance.
I usually use it before going to bed, and it helps me fall asleep. I'm guessing it only lasts about 2 hours at most, and I rarely need to use another one during the night. They are extremely effective for me.
CERTAINLY. My L& d RN showed me how to tuck the pad into the giant mesh pants after laying a few tucks on it! MY LIFE HAS BEEN SAVED! These are now my go-to delivery options for new moms.

The ice pack will become significantly colder as a result of this. This is fantastic! So, before shaking it, don't forget to spray it with water: You'll thank me later. Mamas, I wish you luck.
Me then: I was naive, scouring Pinterest for ideas on what to bring to the hospital and how to prepare for the postpartum recovery period. "Oh. Padsicles, what a brilliant idea! "Cue finding the right kind of witch hazel and aloe vera, meticulously spreading ingredients over pads while heavily pregnant, and taking up freezer space that could have been used for more meals instead of these padsicles. br>br>Me a few weeks after giving birth: I spent a lot of time in the hospital because I had a third degree tear. The nurses taught me how to make a sandwich with this, tucks pads, and dibucaine ointment every few hours, because the homemade ones were icy and lacking in substance. After a few days, I gave in and bought these, and they felt like gifts from God. Things would have gone much more smoothly if I had these on hand. I'm sure I'd have gone over at least two of them. I like that they don't have to be frozen and that they keep for a long time; disposal was a must for me - It was sufficient to look after myself and a newborn. It was unnecessary for me to make laundry a necessary part of my recovery. br>br>Do yourself a favor and prepare these ahead of time.
The item was faulty and did not function. br>I purchased it in anticipation of the arrival of my third child. However, they were already "broken" and did not function when I needed them. Of course, I bought ahead of time to be ready, and the baby arrived one day before the return deadline. . . br>Edit: I looked through the entire box and found a few that worked. Despite the fact that it was too late to use them for the intended purpose, I stuffed them into my bra to alleviate the discomforts of breastfeeding.
Although the product is satisfactory, please be aware of the following: It is not packaged or labeled in a discrete manner. It doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd bring it up for anyone else who might be interested. br>br>I'm thinking about using it for post-partum recovery. I'll keep you updated!.
I had a second-degree vaginal tear, which was extremely painful and took an eternity to heal. These ice packs worked wonders for reducing swelling and relieving pain. They don't stay cold for long, maybe ten minutes. It only took 15 minutes, but it was enough to relax me. The fact that they were disposable appealed to me. Taking care of a newborn is exhausting enough. I didn't want to burden myself with additional work by purchasing washable pads or having to make my own pads (padsicles).
I was all set to hand them back. That would have been a major blunder. I cried to my husband, and he folded the fat part of the pad in half really hard, and we heard it pop, then he shook it, and it got really cold. Don't start exploring the outer banks until you've completed those two tasks! All of mine worked, so I'm going to order another box. No new mom has time to make homemade diaper ice packs, so these are a must-have post-partum. Your diapers should be saved for your child. These can be used as an ice pack and a pad at the same time. I'm thrilled they exist and that I discovered them!.
I've already used them twice. I had my 3rd degree tears repaired postpartum, and now I'm recovering from surgery. They have truly saved my life. br>br> There's no need to be concerned about poking or ice chunks that are too hard to break. They're simple to open (the plastic bag simply pulls apart at both ends). They are usually simple to activate, but you may need to hold it from one end so that all of the filler falls to the other end, then fold it so that the filler is more bunched up to get the "pop" that activates the coolant. There is a slight learning curve, but after a few tries, you'll have it down. br>br>It gets really cold, which helps with the swelling and relieves the pain a little bit (which is helpful when every little bit of relief is worth a diamond mine). And the pad can withstand a significant amount of blood and discharge. br>br>I would recommend these to anyone who is expecting a child or is having surgery in a sensitive area. I've even recommended them to real-life acquaintances.
THANK THE LORD FOR THESE! Like many other mothers, I tried to snag as many "freebies" as I could from the hospital after my baby was born, and icepack pads were my top pick. However, even with the fantastic hospital freebies, I ran out in just a few days. I went to Google in search of more and was overjoyed to find these, which were both available and arrived the same day! WHAT AN EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTRE They were extremely absorbent and stayed cold for a long time.
