Pp - Tucks, how long?

LisadiLisadi member
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
Sending Dh to store as I'm out of Tucks.
Stm, but I can't remember how long I used those last time.
My episiotomy became a 2nd degree tear this time. Overall I don't feel too bad, but it still seems that I could use more moisture on top of the pad.
I know it will vary, but how long did you use these?
Thanks!

    I used them for about 4 weeks PP. Mainly until I wasn't feeling any constant soreness anymore.

    ETA: My PP bleeding stopped at 5 weeks, I'm not sure if the two are related, but there ya go.

    Oh gosh...maybe 6 weeks? I had a 2nd degree as well as a hemorrhoid that deserved it's own zip code, so there's that.

    I had a 2nd degree tear as well and used them for about 2 weeks. I didn't have any hemorrhoids, so I just used them until I no longer felt consistently sore like @ELauren88. I healed really fast though, I thought it would take much longer.

    I had a second degree tear with DS and DD. I used them for a week with his birth and then just 2 days with hers. I never had to buy any either because the hospital have me at least one big container each time, plus I always could have asked for more there.

    I used then until I felt better. In fact I still use them occasionally.

    I had a 3rd degree tear and rather large hemorrhoids. I used them for about a week.

    4 weeks maybe 5, and I didn't have a specific tear, OB said I "shredded" and 20 minutes of stitches later lol  I am still store 8 weeks later... I used that cooling spray too and used a squirt bottle with warm water to rinse every time I went to the bathroom, that seemed to help
