A good trick I learned at the hospital for pain down there

I have a small second degree tear and a labia tear from delivering DD and one of the nurses gave me a good tip as I didn't really like the ice packs because it was hard to walk around with them. She suggested I put witch hazel tucks pads on top of the maxi pad and then spray the tucks pads with dermoplast. It's been working wonders! Just wanted to share

It also works to toss the whole thing in the freezer for about a half-hour before you use it. Heaven.

my RN took an infant diaper. Opened the end by the tabs. Put ice in it and then use the tabs to wrap/close it up. Helped a lot! But still slightly hard to be up and moving with.
