Perineum Reusable Ice and Heat Pack

Postpartum healing can require a few different tools to help sooth the pain, reduce swelling and offer relief to tears, stitched and swollen areas. Postpartum ice packs reduce swelling and soothe sore and tender areas - helping you feel more comfortable in the days after childbirth. 

When the perineal pads are cool they can sooth your perineum and support postpartum soreness. When the gel pad is heated, it can be used in the second stage of labour to support perineal tears when pressed against the perineal area. 

Each pack comes with one perineum ice/heat pack, and 5x disposable covers. Use the sleeves provided, and do not directly apply the packs to the skin. Clean with warm soapy water.
