For post partum recovery please try this tip that a nurse taught me in the hospital:Once you fold the ice pack and hear the crack, squirt a little bit of water on top and then shake the ice pack. It will make the ice pack SO much colder. It’s awesome!!! So don’t forget to sprinkle water on top before shaking it :). You will be grateful . Good luck mamas! Read more

Me then: naive, scouring pinterest for what to bring to the hospital and how to prepare for postpartum recovery. "Oh. Padsicles, how clever!" Cue finding the right kind of witch hazel and aloe vera, meticulously spreading ingredients over pads while hugely pregnant, and taking up space in my freezer that could be devoted to more meals instead to these padsicles.Me postpartum: with a third degree tear, I went through these in the hospital very, very often. The nurses tought me to make a sandwhich with this, tucks pads and dibucaine ointment every few hours. The homemade ones were icy and just not substantial. After a few days I broke down and bought these and felt like they were from heaven. If I had had these ready, things would have been much smoother. I probably would have gone through at least 2 cases. I love that they don't have to be frozen and last a while. Disposal was pretty essential to me -it was enough to care for a newborn and myself. I did not need to make laundry an essential part of healing.Do yourself a favor, have these ready and waiting! Read more

Item defective. Didn't work.I bought for birth of third baby. They were already "broken" though and didn't work when I needed them. Of course I bought early to prepare and baby came one day before return deadline…Edit:: I went through the WHOLE BOX and did find some that worked. Although it was too late to use for given purpose I did stuff them in my bra for the pains of breastfeeding. Read more

Product is fine, but just a heads up: it's not discreetly packaged/labeled. Doesn't bother me really, but just thought I'd point it out for others who may.Planning to use for post-partum recovery. Will update! Read more

These things were a lifesaver for me postpartum. I had a second degree vaginal tear that was very painful and took what seemed like forever to heal. These ice packs were great for pain relief and to help lessen swelling. They don’t stay cold very long, maybe 10-15 minutes, but it was enough to at least take the edge off. I liked that they were disposable. It’s already busy enough taking care of a newborn. I didn’t want to add additional work for myself by buying pads that needed to be washed or by having to make my own pads (padsicles). Read more

The directions in packaging didn't help me. I was all ready to return them. That would've been a huge mistake. I cried to my husband lol and he actually folded the fat part of the pad in 2 really hard and we heard it pop, then he shook it and it got real cold. Do not open the outer banks until you have done those two things! All of mine worked and I'm ordering a second box. These are a post partum must! No new mom has time to make homemade diaper ice packs! Save your diapers for your baby. These serve as an ice pack and a pad. I'm so glad these exist and that I found them!!!! Read more

I've used these on two occasions now. Once postpartum for my 3rd degree tears and now again for post-surgery recovery.They have truly been a life-saver. There's no poking or rock hard ice chunks to worry about. They are easy to open (the plastic bag easily pulls apart at either end). They are mostly easy to activate, but sometimes you have to hold it from one end so that all the filler falls to the other end and try to fold it there where the filler is more bunched up in order to get the "pop" to activate the coolant. A slight learning curve but you get the hang of it after a couple times.It gets really cold and helps with the swelling and takes down the pain a little bit (good when every little bit of relief you can get is worth a diamond mine). And the pad part can handle a good bit of blood/discharge.I would recommend these to anybody who's about to have a baby or about to have surgery in a sensitive area. In fact, I have recommended them to people I know in real life. Read more

THANK GOODNESS FOR THESE!! Like many mothers I tried to snag as much "freebies" from the hospital postpartum as I could and the icepack pads were my #1 item for snagging. BUT even with the awesome hospital freebies I ran out after only a few days. I took to the Google in search of more and was so thankful that these were available and showed up the same day! WHAT A LIFESAVER!!! They stayed cold for an extended period of time and were super absorbent! Read more
