Cold or warm — when?

Cold for the first 2–3 days (swelling, bruising, stitch sting); warmth afterwards for circulation and comfort. The pad does both — fridge or warm water.

How long can I use it at a time?

15–20 minutes per session, as often as needed, always with a fresh sleeve between pad and skin.

Does it help caesarean recovery too?

It's designed for perineal relief — for caesarean wounds follow your midwife's care advice instead.

Product overview

About the Lansinoh Cold & Warm Post-Birth Relief Pad

Childbirth recovery, addressed where it hurts: Lansinoh's reusable perineal pad delivers cooling relief straight from the fridge or comforting warmth from warm water — relieving post-birth pain, swelling and stitches discomfort in the days when sitting is an achievement. One contoured reusable pad plus 12 non-woven hygiene sleeves.

Cold and warm, by stage

Midwife wisdom: cold for the first 48–72 hours (swelling, bruising, stitches), warmth after (circulation, comfort, easing into sitz-bath territory). One pad does both jobs, shaped to sit where a maternity pad sits — from a brand maternity wards already trust for breastfeeding care.

How to use

Chill or warm per the leaflet, slip into a fresh hygiene sleeve, and place in underwear against the perineum — 15–20 minutes at a time, repeating as needed. Wipe clean between uses; sleeves keep it hygienic.
