Instant Ice Maxi Pads

These Frida Mom 2-in-1 Postpartum Pads were an absolute lifesaver after my hysterectomy when I was dealing with uncomfortable swelling. While marketed for postpartum recovery, they worked perfectly for post-surgical healing too. The package comes with 8 pads, which was sufficient for my needs. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even when you're not feeling your best. These pads are definitely on the thicker side, but the instant relief they provide makes the bulkiness worth it. The cooling effect is incredibly soothing and lasts for about an hour per application. I particularly appreciate Frida's approach to a sensitive topic - they maintain a sense of humor while addressing real recovery needs. The brand doesn't take itself too seriously while still providing a high-quality product that delivers serious relief. If you're recovering from a hysterectomy or any procedure with similar discomfort, I highly recommend giving these a try. The cooling relief alone is worth every penny.

Must for new moms! Soothing... It takes a few minutes to get cold tho so be aware..

Wow these are so helpful, what a nice relieving feeling. I use one about every 3 times I go to the restroom and change my pads. The other times I'm just using the absorbent pads from the hospital, but these ones provide such a nice feeling. They're very bulky though so if you have on tight pants it looks funny! No big deal, it's worth it.

These pads honestly saved my life postpartum. I was healing from a second degree tear and was incredibly uncomfortable. Sitting, standing, even just trying to relax felt impossible. These cooling pads were the only thing that actually gave me real relief. They get cold fast and stay cold for several hours. I love that they’re big enough to wear comfortably with all of the things I added on top of it like witch hazel foam. I could finally sit without wincing, which felt like a miracle at that point. I was even able to comfortably wear jeans with them. What I love most is how easy they are to use. No freezing and no prepping you just crack them, shake them, and they’re ready. When you’re postpartum and barely surviving on sleep, simple things like easy comfort matter. If you’re recovering from a v birth, especially with tearing, these are a must have. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through those first 4 weeks without them.

So I’m giving them 5 stars because they are a really good product and easy to use. It’s a lot better than having to make your own frozen ones or even make them out of diapers. But personally I didn’t really need them, I was actually more uncomfortable with the cold feeling. But I like how you’re able to load up all the other products they offer ontop of it. My only complaint is how bulky they are. But I ended up only using a couple and agave away the rest to other postpartum moms I have in my life and they loved them. So overall a good product, just isn’t for everyone.

The cold therapy feels amazing and really reduces swelling and relieves the pain at peri stitches. They’re super easy to activate. I just wish they lasted a little longer and were a bit more affordable. Still, a must-have for postpartum moms.

I am so so so glad I bought these before I gave birth and now I’ve already finished them and got more. They are so essential to healing especially the cooling sensation and how much fluid it catches more than pads without itching me bad down there. I had a third degree tear that tore the part that covers my rectum. There was obsiously discomfort but not much pain at all unless I sit or lay down a certain way where the pad gets jammed between the sutures but that’s not the product’s fault. As long as you readjust it’s all good. And it seriously helps with not swelling. Highly highly recommend!! For reference it’s only been almost a week since the delivery but I’ve healed up so much. I use this alongside Tucks and perineal foam, as well as the peri bottle.

Better than the ones the hospital has. Gets cold fast and works well. They are a bit bulky to be expected, does feel like an ice pack sitting in your pants.
