TendHer Reusable Perineal Ice Packs for Postpartum & Hemorrhoid Pain Relief, Hot and Cold Packs for Women After Pregnancy or Delivery, Pack of 2 Gel Pads Plus 5 Washable Sleeves

Oh my goodness what a treat... before Pariday was a part of my life, I used to create my own perineal ice packs which was bulky in my freezer and time consuming to make. These have been a WONDERFUL addition to my life! They were just what I needed to soothe my post delivery pain and discomfort. The best part is unlike self-made frozen maxi pads- these are fully pliable, they do not condensate and the silky case is gentle against my skin. They stay cold for the perfect amount of time and they rechill quickly so I always had one available. I firmly believe it shortened my healing time and definitely made it more pleasurable. The fabric case is easy to rinse out and stick right on my bottle drying rack - and they dry quickly! They also are quick to throw in the washing machine. And furthermore the packs are easy to use without the case as well- just wash, rinse and repeat. :) LOVE!

As a birth doula, one of my jobs is to help my clients find comfort in a process that can often be uncomfortable. I am super happy to refer them to the Pariday Perineal Packs for after baby is born and their lady bits might not be feeling too great. Unlike ice packs, the perineal packs are super soft and moldable, even out of the freezer. They are low-profile and don’t make you feel like you’re wearing a diaper or sitting on a pile of cold rocks. The washable sleeves in red are brilliant, as things can be a bit messy after birth. You can also add medicated spray to the sleeve for extra relief. I’ve also had clients tell me that the perineal packs work really well to relieve discomfort from hemorrhoids, and you can put witch hazel on the sleeve as well. Having two pads and several reusable, washable sleeves is so helpful for keeping a cool pad on hand and minimizing mess. Alternate/additional uses: comfort for cesarean incision area & boo-boo buddy for your toddler.

Forget just using the for afterbirth birth stitches and care, these are actually the best for hemorrhoids whether you are a guy or a girl and according to my husband they also make great ice packs when you get a vasectomy. If that's not one great multi-use product I don't know what is. Granted these are not typically the things people like to discuss but it gets just the right level of cool without being too cold like many ice packs wood in your groin area. The covers wash really well, and actually hold up very nicely in the washing machine and dryer. The red color doesn't fade and didn't bleed when I washed it with other things. I haven't had to use it often but when I've had to use it it's actually been great so if you're wondering if it'll work and do as it says, YES. 2 years later and they still are in great condition as if I just bought them yesterday.

I had a really rough labor leaving me with a huge internal vaginal tear. These really helped. They are the perfect size and nice and thin so they do not put any extra pressure on the area as the huge disposable packs they give you in the hospital do. These don't get super cold but just the right amount of coldness for such a sensitive area. I think that they are ridiculously expensive but if you are in pain and don't want to mess around trying to find the right thing, get these and you won't be sorry.

I use these packs for two purposes, as a (1) warm compress before breastfeeding, and as a (2) cooling pack to soothe aches or boo-boos on my daughter. They work wonderfully for these purposes and have not found anything else that has the same soft, gel-like consistency that conforms to the body part that it goes on as well as this does. The fabric sleeves are comfortable on the skin, and I feel better know that if my child accidentally breaks open the internal gel pouch (which happened), that it is non-toxic. In fact, I am on my second set, and purchased the second 3 years later after my daughter broke one of the original and I am expecting another baby and want these for breastfeeding. I prefer these to the round TendHers for breastfeeding because they cover more surface area, and warm compresses were very necessary for me because I frequently dealt with plugged ducts.

I bought to use postpartum but ended up with a csection so I didn't use it as planned. It does work well as an icepack because it is gel-y and never gets hard. The sleeve keeps it from getting too cold which makes it nice to hold onto on a hot day when the baby gets too warm. I'm disappointed in it as a hot pack. It doesn't get very warm and it loses heat quickly.

These were absolutely glorius! My mom made fun of me saying that she never had anything like this and she was fine. Boy oh boy. I'm glad I bought them to have on hand BEFORE I had the baby! You put the ice packs in the freezer but they don't freeze hard, they stay soft so it is comfortable to sit on. They slip into those little red pouches which hide post partum bleeding nicely. I washed them out by hand and air dryed and reused them for about 3 weeks after my baby. I had a 3rd degree tear so these were nice and long to cover all aspects that are painful after having a baby! These would even be good during pregnancy for pain after intercourse, as well as after baby for a painful period! They are so soothing!

Worth the investment a million times over. I loved using these during my postpartum and could not recommend them enough. Easy to clean, easy to use, quick to cool down (never heated them) and very comfortable. Great product. I'd recommend to all mama's!
