I found them in the grocery store.

I have heard of these but don't really know anything about them. Do you buy the cooling pads for after vaginal delivery to help with healing or is this just something people use for hemis?

I found them at Walgreens in a white cylindrical container. A little tip though...all they are is Witch Hazel. You can buy that in a bottle. ALSO, I recently bought some Prep H "Totables" and noticed that's all those are too. GL!

TY! What aisle in Walgreens?? I was looking in the fem section but couldn't find it... I know they're just witch hazel & was going to purchase just that but the bottle contains a decent percentage of rubbing alcohol (no ty!!) - I don't think rubbing alcohol would be a good combo after just delivering . I wanted to read the label on tucks before buying.

Prep H totes? Can those be used for post delivery healing as well? I was reading about tucks being used as a cooling/healing agent by freezing for post partum.

They are just witch hazel... I bought the Target brand of them.

I ordered mine on Amazon.com

They are primarily used for hemorrhoids. Look in the aisle with the stool softeners and laxatives.

Any pharmacy'ish place would have them! I'm SHOCKED Walgreens doesnt have them.... Ask a pharmacist. I'm sure they're there...

Thanks.. But I have to be sure to read ingredients, since I have sensitive skin. They are 50% witch hazel... Also contain alcohol (3rd main ingredient), citric acid, etc. Just googled on amazon - not sure why I didn't just do that sooner.

Not something us ladies with sensitive skin should be using...

I still don't get how they work for women without sensitive skin since it does contain alcohol & witch hazel is technically an astringent.

What I've read on here, is that it can be used post partum in a pad & put in freezer for soothing effects.

My concern though is witch hazel is an astringent & most bottles, as well as what I've read about tucks contain rubbing alcohol. Not sure I wanna go down that road, considering I already have sensitive skin.

Think I'm gonna ask my Dr. more info

Thanks for the info! I just did an amazon search and see some are for hemorrhoids and some are for "cooling". I wonder if there is a difference.

I always get mine at Target. They have a generic brand that comes in a white box. I think in the aisle near the hemmroids treatments. They are called "witch hazel pads".

cswatch · April 2012

Near the witch hazel and rubbing alcohol section (they usually come in a little round tub) or in the section near the preparation H, etc. Walgreens would def. have them.

mommabear17 · April 2012

Look for the preparation H and that sort of thing. Walmart and Target both have it in their generic lines.

That's a good idea! Yes

Regardless of the ingredients, they really helped to take the stinging/burning away. You can make them yourself if you want to. Get a Tupperware container and some make-up remover pads and poor the witch hazel on them. Then you can put them in the fridge/freezer and have them cooled when you need them.

I have never heard of this, and we're having our third. The hospital gave me dermaplast spray which is a cooling spray with antibacterial stuff and kind of numbs the area. I would use it at every bathroom break, it helped. I never had really any burning, just achey. Might wanna try these if they soothe the area.

Um, no - not regardless. The fact these work, may be the case for you, but women with sensitive skin NEED to be careful - especially after a vag delivery.

Ppl need to be careful of recommending products - especially if they don't relate to others with sensitive skin.

Did that help? Of course it's my personal opinion; that's why it comes with my personal story.

No, I don't need to be careful recommending products because people have sensitive skin. Taking that into consideration is the job of the reader who has sensitive skin. If I had to take into account every person's personal issues, it'd be impossible for anyone to post anything. If I recommended something that won't work for you, don't try it. But 1 of the other 100 people reading this post might find my comment helpful.
