The Frida Mom Instant Ice Maxi Pads are engineered to provide immediate and effective relief during the critical postpartum period. Their primary function is to deliver instant cold therapy to the perineal area, which is crucial for reducing swelling, pain, and discomfort after vaginal childbirth. The 'fold to pop' activation mechanism means relief is always just moments away, whether you're at home or on the go, without the need for a freezer.
Beyond cooling, these pads serve as a highly absorbent maxi pad, managing postpartum bleeding (lochia) efficiently. This dual functionality is key to simplifying a new mother's routine, as it eliminates the need to layer separate cold packs over regular maxi pads. The full coverage liner ensures that the cooling and absorption benefits extend across the entire affected area, maximizing comfort.
For an enhanced cooling effect, users can place the maxi pad in a refrigerator before activation. This can provide a more intense, yet still gentle, cold sensation. The pads are particularly beneficial in the initial days following birth, especially after the first postpartum bathroom trip, where soothing and reducing inflammation are paramount. They integrate as Step 3 in the Frida Mom 5-step Postpartum Recovery Regimen, which includes cleansing with a peri bottle, wearing disposable underwear, chilling and absorbing with these pads, soothing with perineal cooling liners, and relieving with witch hazel foam. While each step is sold separately, these pads are a standalone powerhouse for critical relief.
Activate Cold Pack: Locate the inner fluid packet within the pad. Gently fold the pad in half until you feel and hear a 'pop' as the inner packet breaks.
Shake: Gently shake the pad for a few seconds to mix the contents and activate the cooling process.
Position: Place the activated pad in your postpartum underwear, ensuring the full coverage liner is positioned for maximum contact with the perineal area.
Optional Enhanced Cooling: For an even colder experience, you can place the unopened Instant Ice Maxi Pad in the refrigerator for a short period before activating it.
Postpartum Use: Specifically designed for postpartum recovery after vaginal delivery, providing comfort for episiotomies, stitches, or general perineal soreness.
Disposable Underwear: Fully compatible with the included sample of Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Underwear, and other standard postpartum mesh or full-coverage underwear.
Recovery Regimen: Works as Step 3 within the Frida Mom 5-step Postpartum Recovery Regimen, complementing products like peri bottles, cooling pad liners, and witch hazel foam.
Single Use: These are disposable pads and are intended for single use only. Do not attempt to clean or reuse.
Disposal: Dispose of the used pad in a waste bin after each use. Do not flush.
Storage: Store unopened pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
