FAQs
How long can I apply the breast pads?
For both hot and cold therapy, apply the pads for a maximum of 20 minutes per session. Allowing your skin to rest between applications is important.
Can I use these pads directly on my skin without the covers?
No, it is strongly recommended to always use the provided purple cloth covers. This protects your skin from direct contact with extreme temperatures and enhances comfort.
What are the pads made of?
The therapy pads contain 100% Sodium Polyacrylate beads encased in a durable PVC cover. These materials are chosen for their ability to retain temperature and flexibility.
Are these safe to use if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, the product is suitable for all skin types. However, always use the cloth covers and test the temperature before applying, especially if you have particularly sensitive skin.
Can I heat both pads at once in the microwave?
No, it is important to heat each pad separately according to the microwave wattage instructions. Heating both at once can lead to uneven heating or overheating.
Can these be used for conditions other than breastfeeding discomfort?
These pads are specifically designed and intended for breast therapy related to breastfeeding. For external use only, and consult a healthcare professional for other uses.
What should I do if the beads leak from the pad?
If the pad is damaged and the beads are leaking, discontinue use immediately and dispose of the product. The beads are not for ingestion.
Troubleshooting
Pads are not warm enough after initial heating.
After testing the temperature, you may add more microwave time in 5-second increments until the desired warmth is reached. Always test before applying to your skin.
Pads seem too hot after microwaving.
Allow the pad to cool slightly before placing it in the cover and applying it to your breast. Always test the temperature on your skin (e.g., inner wrist) first. Ensure you are following the recommended heating times for your microwave wattage and heating each pack separately.
Discomfort or irritation after application.
Ensure the pads are always used with their cloth covers. Do not apply for more than 20 minutes at a time. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the temperature is comfortable before applying.
