I was given this hot & cold relief pad to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. In general, I really like the idea of these reusable hot/cold packs, but found them lacking in execution. I'm all for reusable things as much as possible, but it turns out that reusable perineal products for postpartum is really a challenge.
It was really a challenge to figure out how best to use these while also using a pad, which is very necessary postpartum. With a pad plus the reusable pack, it was pretty bulky and felt like nothing was staying in place. I tried using it without a pad, but postpartum that was not a good idea, and the liners provided with the reusable packs are not absorbent.
I also didn't really enjoy cleaning the reusable packs between each use. The liners provided do help somewhat, but (at least for me) there was so much bleeding and other stuff going on down there that it was pretty gnarly to wash these things.
All of that said, it does work well for heating or cooling, so if you've got a system to navigate these challenges, then it's an effective product. For me, it was just so much easier to use the disposable cold pads that the hospital provides.
