FAQs
How do I activate the cold feature of the pad?
To activate, firmly fold the pad in half until you hear and feel an inner packet pop. Then, gently shake the pad to mix the contents and initiate the cooling process.
Do I need to put these pads in the freezer?
No, these pads provide instant cold therapy without needing a freezer. However, for an extra cooling effect, you can place the unopened pad in the refrigerator before activation.
Are these pads reusable?
No, Frida Mom Instant Ice Maxi Pads are designed for single use only. Dispose of them after each use.
When should I start using these pads after giving birth?
You can start using these pads immediately after your first postpartum bathroom trip, or as soon as you feel discomfort in the perineal area.
What is the bonus disposable underwear for?
The included bonus disposable underwear sample provides comfortable, full-coverage support designed specifically for postpartum recovery. It's meant to hold the maxi pad securely in place without irritation.
Are these pads safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, these pads are made without harsh chemicals, dyes, or fragrances, making them gentle and suitable for the sensitive perineal area during postpartum recovery.
Can I use these pads with other postpartum recovery products?
Absolutely. These pads are designed to integrate seamlessly into a comprehensive postpartum recovery routine and are compatible with other Frida Mom products like peri bottles, cooling pad liners, and witch hazel foam.
Troubleshooting
Pad doesn't feel cold enough after activation.
Ensure you firmly folded the pad until you heard a 'pop' and then shook it to mix the contents. For extra cooling, try placing the unopened pad in the refrigerator for a short period before activation.
Pad seems to leak or isn't absorbing enough.
Ensure the pad is positioned correctly and changed frequently, especially during the initial days of heavier postpartum bleeding. If bleeding is excessive, consult your healthcare provider.
Experiencing skin irritation or discomfort after using the pad.
Discontinue use immediately. While made with no harsh chemicals, individual sensitivities can occur. Consult your healthcare provider if irritation persists.
How long does the cold therapy last?
The instant cold therapy provides soothing relief for a limited duration, typically around 20-30 minutes, after which the pad will remain effective as a maxi pad. Replace as needed for continued cold therapy.
