Overview
Description
Gone are the days of adult diapers filled with ice chips. These smart 2-in-1 postpartum padsicles combine instant cold therapy plus an absorbent pad in one.
How they work: the crack-and-cool first aid ice pack is built right into absorbent maxi pad. You’ll get the recommended 20-minute therapy window of instant cooling relief with no freezer necessary. Each pad absorbs 260g of liquid, so you don’t have to worry about leaks either.
The generous fit covers the entire perineal area, front to back, with an adhesive back that stays put.

Get much colder than the ones given to me by the hospital, which I appreciate. They are quite thick, and sitting does put a bit of pressure on the perianal area, which is not where you want pressure!

Good for some, not for me.
I was excited to use these for relief post Bartholin cyst/abscess procedure. Unfortunately, I don't feel any cold nor relief from this product. However, the extra padding is comfortable to sleep in. I tried 2 pads thinking I did something incorrectly, but both have not worked to my liking.

Not very cold
The coldness level is very low, it barely is felt. I used a Dr Talbots postpartum ice pad and that was so much better than the Frida Mom. I am returning my unopened box of Frida Mom.

Best Product for the battle with female cancers
This was a godsend for my relative battling cancer. She was able to utilize these Frida pads for her radiation burns. We are very thankful she was able to turn to the Frida company for their exceptional product

Instant Ice Maxi Pafs
Great product. Not only helps with healing and natural pain relieve after delivery but also with any inflammation in the vaginal area. Including hemorrhoids.

Too bulky, use the hospital ones
They are too bulky when sitting down, they push on everything that is tender. They are like sitting on an old fashioned water bottle. The cool doesn't last very long. The ones you get from the hospital are thinner and last longer, although they don't absorb as well and aren't in pretty packaging.

Disappointed
I bought this for my post partum. I only use one and the one that I used was even not cold. I am a bit disappointed for the price.
