Padsicles can be used for all kinds of discomfort in the intimate area from post childbirth to saddle soreness! A Padsicle is a frozen or chilled maternity pad designed to give soothing, cooling relief to the perineal area after childbirth. It’s used during the postpartum period to ease soreness, swelling, bruising, and general discomfort. The core idea is simple: You take a maternity pad, add gentle soothing ingredients (often witch hazel or aloe), freeze it, and wear it like a normal pad. Padsicles are designed to be put in the freezer before use, so they deliver targeted cold therapy where it’s needed.
Padsicles can be used as often as needed to help soothe and ease discomfort.
Each Padsicle stays cool for approximately 15–20 minutes. We recommend allowing at least a 40-minute break between cold treatments before using another one.
