Overnight pads (not always because they have plastic lining). Drizzle thayers witch hazel over and fold back into original package. Put back into freezer.

I love the Kotex brand always have since I was 13 I've always felt the Always brand to be very uncomfortable in general. I'm 24 now and 4 weeks away from my second baby I'm so happy I found out about this method of padsicle and that the kotex pads are still the same soft cotton feel

I feel blessed my 1st baby was 9lbs and I was cut pretty open and had stitches and I never had pain from it. I never used the spray and I had him on a Friday I was shopping for clothes because he didn't fit in newborn clothing.

Do you take them straight out of the freezer and apply them or do you have to let them sit first?

Thayers with aloe has two options: with alcohol and alcohol free. Does it matter which one?

Is witch hazel safe for sensitive skin? Seems like it would be but I'm curious as I have naturally more sensitive skin. Thanks!

Will the pads still absorb as much blood if drizzled with witchhazel?

[Firyuza]

Sorry, I have one more question: these pads should stay in for about 20 minutes until they get warmer and then need to be removed cause they start leaking?

Can I use their facial toner (thayers witch Hazel facial toner)

[imurfrd]

Hi! I am just packing my hospital bag, since they are in the freezer now, should I put them in a cooler so they stay cold? Or it doesn't matter

[loribaxter]

Isn't that facial toner / cleaner and not just witch hazel?

[SarahRRedman]

I’m confused where does the aloe come in and can you use aloe with lidocaine
