Step by step

How to use the Instant Ice Maxi Pads

1

Bend it firmly

Hold both ends and snap it in the middle. You will feel the inner seal break and the pad starts cooling within seconds.

2

Soft side up

Place it in your underwear, adhesive down, cooling side against you. It reaches the front and the back.

3

About 20 minutes of cooling

That is the usual window for postpartum cooling comfort. Then it simply keeps working as a pad.

4

Keep wearing it as a pad

Absorbs early postpartum bleeding, so there is no second pad to fumble with. Change as you would any pad.

5

Eight per pack

Enough for the first 24 to 48 hours of peak swelling. Pack them in the hospital bag; no freezer needed.

Two jobs, one pad

A cooling pack and a maternity pad in the one piece.

Cooling on demand

Bend to activate, no freezer. The same kind of reaction as a first-aid cold pack, sealed inside the pad.

A real maternity pad

Full front-to-back coverage and a soft top layer for the heaviest days.

After a caesarean

Use it as a pad after any birth. Only use the cooling near an incision if your midwife has said so.

Common questions

Before you order

About this product

Are these the same as padsicles?

They do the same job, cooling in a pad, without soaking and freezing anything. They also work as a proper absorbent pad afterwards.

How long does the cold last?

Around 20 minutes, which is the usual recommended window. The pad keeps working as a maternity pad after that.

What is inside the pad?

A sealed pouch with the same kind of reaction used in first-aid instant cold packs. It never touches the skin. Do not cut a pad open.

How many do I need?

Most mums use one every waking four hours for the first day or two. One pack of eight covers that; the kits include four.

Can I use them after a caesarean?

As a pad, yes. For cooling near an incision, ask your midwife first.

Do they leak?

No more than a normal maternity pad. The cooling pouch stays sealed inside; if a pad is ever damaged, bin it.

Ordering

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping to metro areas takes 3 to 7 business days, free on orders over $60. Express options are available at checkout. Everything ships from Braeside, Victoria.

Can I return this if it is not right?
