Soothies C-section Recovery Pads

I’m so glad to have received these from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I used them for my second c-section, so I can attest that they definitely do as promised me help soothe the itchy sore incision as compared to not using them. Having the ability to chill them is a nice touch too. My favorite part of these is how it prevents rubbing so I do feel protected. My incision tends to burn when rubbed, and these have prevented that!

I had recovery pads on my registry list, so when I received these to test from the Stellar Product Teating Panel I was super excited. This is my second C-section and the recovery is no joke. They came in a pack of 4 all individually wrapped. They were easy to apply and the cooling gel felt really good on my incision. I wore them for the full 72 hours and they stayed on great. I was able to shower with them on too. It was nice to have these pads covering the incision and kept my clothes from rubbing against my incision. I have a 1 year old at home and these helped make my incision feel more protected with her climbing on me. Would use in any future pregnancies as well!

From my experience the recovery pads are soothing and very helpful for healing after C-section. They are sterile and made of hydrogel and one pad can be used up to 72 hours. I think it’s a very useful product for postpartum recovery and I would definitely recommend it.

Lansinoh Soothies C-section Recovery Pads were great for my C-section recovery, they helped me to feel better and more secure during my postpartum period. The pads are easy to apply and they can be cooled down in the fridge for a better effect. I think I felt less pain when I had them on. I would recommend them.

I am truly amazed at how well these pads have worked for my incision. I feel truly protected when I have the pad on. I feel like the pad has helped me feel more secure when I am doing certain activities like bending to get something from the floor my 2 year old dropped or when taking a shower. I feel better wearing the pad when I shower as I know the incision will not get soaked in these days that it is still in the healing stage. I love that I can wear whatever underwear or clothing I want and it will not rub or irritate the incision. Putting the pad in the fridge to make it cooler before applying feels great but it doesn't last long. I would definitely recommend these pads to all the mama's who've had a c-section. I wish I had these when I had my first child via c-section. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

While this was my third child, it was my first c-section and I was incredibly anxious about it. When I recieved the cooling pads, I was grateful that there was at least some promise of relief. I didn't use the pads until I was about 4 weeks postpartum, when I was certain my incision was healed.

My very favorite part of this product was the extra protection I felt like it provided my incision. It may seem like a small, trivial thing but it really helped knowing there was an extra "layer" between my still-healing scar and the rest of the world. Friction and rubbing that was an issue with waitbands post-surgery were immediately gone as soon as I out the pad on. It was amazing! With that said, I often forgot I was even wearing the pad, it was so comfortable. It was a breeze to put on and the adhesive did a great job at staying put.

The cooling part of the pad is what was lacking for me. Straight out of the box, I didn't feel any cooling sensation. I tried putting the pad on after placing them in the fridge and that did help, but the cooling sensation didn't last as long as I was hoping.

Overall, I loved the product for an added layer of protection over my incision to help with friction and irritation. As far as cooling sensation, this would not be the first thing I'd reach for.

I recieved this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The good:
The soothing pad felt nice going on; it does have cooling properties at the outset but they don't seem to last long. I left it on for 24 hours and honestly forgot it was there. I did not feel irritation or itching. I did like having an extra layer of protection between my incision and my clothes.

The bad:
It was uncomfortable to remove. I tried to remove it before getting in the shower, per the instructions, but it wasn't coming off easily, so I finished removing it in the shower. My skin has been sensitive following my surgery (I developed postpartum hives likely as a result of a disinfectant or tape used in the procedure), and the strong adhesive was a little bit painful to remove. It also pulled hair due to where the incision is located. Overall, I wish it came off more gently, as it is otherwise a nice product.

The Soothies C-section Recovery Pads gave me much needed relief on my incision. The directions were clearly written on the box and each individual recovery pad package. Application of the pad was a little difficult. I had to use one hand to hold up my skin that folded over and the other hand to put the pad into place. I wish the gel pad was a littler longer as this is my 2nd C-section and my incision is longer this time. After a couple attempts, I was able to fit the gel pad on my entire incision. The adhesive part of the pad was very nice and sticky even after my couple attempts of applying.
I wore this pad for almost 24 hours and it was very comfortable. The pad stuck on so nicely that I almost forgot I had it on. My favorite part about this product is that it protected my incision from fabric rubbing against it, which means I was able to wear regular underwear that rests on my incision! In addition, a small part of my incision was a little red, the gel pad protected me from itching and the redness went away after I took off the pad.
Taking off the pad only hurt a little but it went away seconds after taking off the pad. The minor pain was only on my skin where the adhesive was at, my incision did not hurt and looked great. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Soothies C-section Recovery Pads.

I was really excited about these c-section recovery pads but they weren’t as soothing as I thought they would be. The first one I tried straight from the box and did not feel any cooling sensation from the pad. The second pad I refrigerated for over 24 hours and it felt cool to the touch but once I put it on my incision I did not experience the cooling sensation. The pad itself stayed in place well, was barely noticeable as I went about my day, and protected my incision from rubbing, which was was nice, but when it came time to remove the pad it was painful on the skin above my incision. I tried a couple ways of removing it and found the best way was to remove half from right to left and then the other half from left to right. Unfortunately, the dread of removing it outweighed the benefits the pad provided, so if you’re sensitive to pain I do not recommend using this recovery pad. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test these recovery pads.

I received the Soothies c-section Recovery pad as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I started using the pads 2 weeks after my c section. I was nervous at first using them because it just seems sensitive. But they have help a lot with soothing the incision and also creating a barrier when I used my recovery band. It didn’t rub against my scar. Overall was a good product to use postpartum c section recovery.
