Even after a vaginal birth without tears, the entire perineal area and rectum will be swollen after birth, and you'll likely feel discomfort in the area for around three to five weeks.
After pushing baby, no matter how long for, you will be a bit swollen. If you need any stitches or have torn, chances are you will be a bit sore and experience perineum discomfort for even longer. Our peri gel pads can really assist in offering some relief.
Perineal cool pads are an essential for use postpartum to cool and soothe your perineum and help any postpartum soreness you may experience.
When the perineum gel pad is heated, it can be also used while in the second stage of labour to reduce perineal tears when pressed against the perineal area (ask your medical team if you're unsure how to correctly apply)
When frozen, the perineal ice pack provides soothing, cooling relief to the perineal area which may be irritated, swollen and tender from childbirth
The perineal ice pack can also be used to give instant relief from vaginal irritations and inflamed haemorrhoids, or to treat Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).
The pack can be heated or cooled.
Please note that design of the packs may differ slightly depending on current stock level.
Each pack comes with a one perineum ice/heat pack and 5 x disposable covers.
Use the sleeves provided and do not apply the packs directly to the skin.
