Padiscles

Regardless of how baby enters this world, your vag (& rest of your bottom) thanks you for doing this in advance 🙂

Enjoy this 1-minute video (or this one, with fun music, on the Insta!), and the Easy Steps are Below!

Take your favorite menstrual pad (or period underwear—I haven’t tried this yet, but in theory, the idea is sound…maybe try it before Go-Time, to make sure they maintain some softness), unwrap it, and put 2 tablespoons (ish) of organic aloe vera on it. This will reduce inflammation and pain post-delivery.
Now add about 2 tablespoons of non-sting Witch Hazel (non-sting means ‘alcohol free’). This can reduce swelling, pain and bruising, as well as reduce itching that is often present postpartum
You could add 1-2 drops of your favorite soothing essential oil (Lavender is a popular one, for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, as well as generally soothing effects), but this IS OPTIONAL.
Rewrap pad, then put in aluminum foil OR plastic zip-lock baggy.
Place in freezer, and enjoy post-delivery!

I recommend making at least 5, and maybe trying it out pre-delivery, so you can adjust to your preference ;). Make them yourself, or delegate!!
