The Vital Bits Instant Ice Maxi Pads are basically a padsicle but without the faff of making them yourself. Just fold to activate, peel, and attach. Instant cooling relief, right where you need it.

They're soft, contoured, and absorbent (up to 160mls — yes, really), so they're doing double duty: soothing swelling andhandling postpartum flow. The non-slip adhesive means they stay put while you shuffle to the bathroom at 2am.

Each pad gives you around 40 minutes of cooling therapy. I recommend grabbing at least two packs - you'll want them on rotation in those first few days.

What makes them worth it:

• Instant activation — no freezer, no prep
• 40+ minutes of cooling per pad
• Highly absorbent, up to 160ml
• Contoured fit, non-slip backing
• Mess-free and easy to use
• Made from Calcium Ammonium Nitrate and Water. Contains less than 28% Nitrogen.  

How to use:

1. To activate, fold the pad in half until you feel a break (depending on the positioning of the contents, you may find it easier to squeeze the contents until you feel a pop).
2. Give the contents a squeeze to distribute it evenly within the pad & remove the exterior sleeve.
3. Remove the adhesive strip and secure the pad to your underpants.
