The Lansinoh C-Section Hydrogel Pads are designed for new mothers recovering from a C-section, offering soothing relief and crucial protection for the incision site. These pads minimize friction from clothing and provide a cooling effect, aiding in a more comfortable recovery so you can focus on your newborn. While highly effective for managing post-operative discomfort, remember they are intended for use on closed, healing incisions, not open wounds.
Friction Minimization: Reduces rubbing from clothing against the sensitive incision area. - Cooling & Soothing Relief: Hydrogel provides immediate comfort to tender and itchy skin. Can be refrigerated for enhanced cooling. - Wound Protection: Shields the incision from sweating, creasing (e.g., from overhang), and water during showering. - Long-Lasting Adhesion: Designed to remain securely in place for up to 72 hours, reducing the need for frequent changes. - Water Resistant: Allows for showering without compromising protection or adhesion. - Gentle Materials: Crafted from LDPE adhesive backing with a hydrogel island, transparent, slim, latex-free, and DEHP-free for sensitive skin.

The Lansinoh C-Section Hydrogel Pads are engineered to support a mother's recovery journey by directly addressing common post-C-section discomforts. When applied to a clean, dry, and closed incision site, the hydrogel immediately begins to deliver a cooling sensation, which can be intensified by pre-chilling the pad in the refrigerator. This cooling effect is particularly beneficial for reducing the sensation of tenderness and itchiness often associated with healing skin.
Beyond soothing, the pad acts as a protective barrier. Its padded design minimizes friction from clothing, preventing irritation that can hinder comfort and healing. The water-resistant nature of the pad means you can shower confidently, knowing your incision is shielded from direct water exposure and potential contamination. Furthermore, it helps prevent sweating and creasing in the abdominal area, common issues that can lead to discomfort or interfere with the healing process. Its ability to stay securely in place for up to 72 hours ensures continuous protection and relief, allowing you to focus on bonding with your newborn without constant worry about your incision.
Setup and Application
Clean the Area: Gently clean the skin around your C-section incision. Ensure the area is completely dry before application.
Prepare the Pad: Carefully remove the protective backing from the hydrogel pad.
Apply: Position the pad directly over your closed C-section incision, ensuring the entire incision is covered. Smooth out the edges to ensure good adhesion.
Optional Cooling: For enhanced cooling relief, you can place the sealed pad in the refrigerator for a short period before application.
Compatibility
These pads are specifically designed for post-C-section incision care, suitable for use on closed, healing wounds. Do not apply to open wounds, stitches that are not yet closed, or infected areas.
The pads are latex-free and DEHP-free, making them suitable for individuals with sensitivities to these materials.
Care and Removal
Wear Time: Each pad is designed for single-use and can be worn for up to 72 hours.
Removal: To remove, gently peel the pad away from the skin. If resistance is met, slowly peel while supporting the skin.
Disposal: Dispose of used pads in general household waste. Do not flush.
Skin Monitoring: Regularly check your skin around and under the pad for any signs of irritation, redness, or allergic reaction. If irritation occurs, remove the pad and discontinue use.
Medical Consultation: Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your incision, unusual discharge, increased pain, or signs of infection before using or continuing to use the pads.
