Instant Ice Maxi Pafs
Great product. Not only helps with healing and natural pain relieve after delivery but also with any inflammation in the vaginal area. Including hemorrhoids.

Too bulky, use the hospital ones
They are too bulky when sitting down, they push on everything that is tender. They are like sitting on an old fashioned water bottle. The cool doesn't last very long. The ones you get from the hospital are thinner and last longer, although they don't absorb as well and aren't in pretty packaging.

Disappointed
I bought this for my post partum. I only use one and the one that I used was even not cold. I am a bit disappointed for the price.

Loved having these postpartum!
I'm so glad I took a few of these to the hospital bc they were much better than theirs. Frida Mom Ice packs get colder and last longer than the hospitals. I do wish they stayed in place a bit better - difficult to layer with a pad considering they aren't very absorbent.
