With my last I made what they call "padsicles". They were a DREAM postpartum with my 4th degree tear. The smell is calming & refreshing too which is half of the beauty of these babies.

Get the biggest, thickets, heavy-duty pads you can find (preferably with the plastic wrappers not the kind cloth-like).

Open them but don't completely unwrap them.

Squirt 100% pure aloe vera gel up & down the entire pad (trust me).

Add about a tsp or so of witch hazel

Then a few drops lavender EOs

Rewrap the pad & store them in gallon freezer bags.

When you use pull out one at a time and let thaw for just a couple minutes.

Then be prepared for the heavenly feeling of comfort, relief, & refreshment.

You're welcome. 😉
