Padsicles 101

By: The Honey Pot Company

Congratulations! You’ve just given birth to your little bundle of joy! After such a momentous event, it’s understandable that your focus is now on healing. If you delivered vaginally, most hospitals and gynecologists will send you home with oversized pads and suggest that you spray them with witch hazel and add a few drops of essential oils. After placing them in the freezer you will have your very own postpartum cooling pad, or “padsicle.” Using these DIY witch hazel pads postpartum can help soothe the vagina after giving birth. 

Our postpartum pads are the perfect pre-made “padsicle” as they are already infused with lavender, rose, mint and aloe essential oils. You only need to spray them with witch hazel and pop them in the freezer for use after giving birth. The vagina is the most absorbent organ on a woman’s body, so true soothing begins with these postpartum cooling pads. The powerful combination of postpartum witch hazel and the soothing properties of lavender, rose oil, aloe and other essential oils give your vagina the love it deserves and needs. Pamper your honey pot with our post-partum sanitary pads!
