To use warm: Place the pad inside the microwave, lying flat, for 16 seconds at 1250 watts / 19 seconds at 1000 watts / 25 seconds at 700 watts Alternatively, submerge in a water bath that is no longer boiling for 1 – 2 minutes. Always test your warm pad’s temperature prior to use. Place the pad into a disposable sleeve and apply to the abdomen for 20 minutes for soothing relief postnatal uterine cramping.

After each use, thoroughly clean the gel pad with mild soap and water and rinse thoroughly until all soap and residue is removed. Allow to air dry completely prior to next use. Read instructions on packaging before use.

FAQs:

How often should I replace my Lansinoh C-section Hydrogel Pad?

Our C-section pads can be used for a maximum of 72 hours. Afterwards, the pad should be removed, and a new pad can be applied. Once removed, the pad cannot be reapplied.

What makes Lansinoh C-section Hydrogel Pads different to other C-section products?

Many other C-section related products on the market are made of silicone which focus more on the aesthetic care of scars (including scar reduction treatment, reducing redness and scar discomfort, improving look & feel of scars). Silicone and hydrogels both provide an occlusive layer over the healing wound, meaning they form a protective layer on the surface of the skin and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss. However, while silicone is a passive barrier, our pads are made of Hydrogel which has a unique polymeric structure allowing it to donate and absorb water- balancing the moisture levels. Hydrogel’s high water content also means they provide cooling relief to the application site. 

How do I use the Cold & Warm Post-Birth Relief Pad warm?

Place one pad inside the microwave, lying flat, for 16 seconds at 1250 watts, 19 seconds at 1000 watts or 25 seconds at 700 watts. Alternatively, submerge in a water bath that is no longer boiling for 1 – 2 minutes. Gently massage pad to evenly distribute heat as indicated by colour-changing pearls. You can add time in 5 second increments until desired temperature is reached. Place the pad into a disposable sleeve and apply the pad for 20 minutes (always test the pad temperature prior to use and allow at least one hour between uses or as directed by your healthcare professional).

How do I use the Cold & Warm Post-Birth Relief Pad with Maternity Pads?

Apply your maternity pad first, then apply the Cold & Warm Post-Birth Relief Pad within a hygiene sleeve on top for effective pain relief. 

How many Maternity Pads do I need?

Most new mums will bleed for up to 6 weeks after giving birth so Maternity Pads with wings for extra protection are recommended throughout this period. Maternity Pads will require changing as needed, or every 4 hours, so it’s likely you’ll need around 250 maternity pads over this period.

When should I use the post-birth spray bottle?

You can start using the Post-Birth Spray bottle immediately post-birth when going to the toilet, or anytime you want to gently cleanse your perineal area.
