Medline Industries MDS148055 Deluxe Perineal Cold Packs with Adhesive, 4.5" x 14.25" (Pack of 24)

I purchased the Medline cold packs after I used the Frida cold pads I was gifted. The Medline ones are 1000% better. Way colder and last longer!

These ice packs are super helpful after giving birth. I had multiple 3rd degree tears and have been in a lot of pain, these ice packs give me a little bit of time where there is some relief with the added benefit of the cold helping with the swelling. They are much easier to pop than the ones the hospital had provided me, though they don't seem to get quite as cold. They are large and bulky, which makes them very awkward to wear because its hard to walk and sit in them, but they do absorb a decent amount of fluid and keeps it pretty contained. The downside is that they don't stay cold very long and after the cold has worn off, you are left with a large warm bag of water in your pants...which is strange and uncomfortable. When you get them it seems like a lot, but I went through my entire box in about three days because I put on a new one every couple hours, day and night. They are also very convinent because you just pop the balloon inside and shake and the reaction inside makes it cold, meaning you can keep them in the bathroom and don't have to run to the freezer to retrieve them. I would recommend this product to anyone who is concerned with the pain they will be dealing with after birth and will definently order them again if I ever have another baby. I might just order two boxes this time instead of the one so they will last a little longer.

Lord, these things were helped me so much after my surgery. They were like heaven to me. I think I went through 4 or 5 cases during my recovery. They are great for Mom's who just had a baby.

These are chemical reacting ice pads they last there expecting amount of one as well. I prefer these to the freeze pads because they are quick and instant and can still be dressed with all the same toppings. Just colder longer in my opinion.

This is exactly like what they gave me at the hospital. Helped with soreness postpartum.
