How to use our ice and heat packs

To use our breast and perineal ice packs for COLD THERAPY, we recommend the following:

~ Use between feeds, or post a breastfeed, to help relieve pain and inflammation due to engorgement, blocked ducts and mastitis.

~ Place ice packs in freezer until cold.

~ We recommend using the provided breast covers, tissue, a maternity pad or toilet paper as a protective barrier between your skin and ice packs.

~ Leave ice packs on for 20 minutes, before washing thoroughly in warm, soapy water and storing back in the freezer in a plastic container.

~ Perineal packs can be folded in half before freezing, to cool a wider perineal area.

~ You can use our ice packs repeatedly every hour (20 minutes on/40 minutes off).

To use our breast and perineal heat packs for HEAT THERAPY, we recommend the following:

~ Use on breasts before feeding and expressing to encourage milk flow, to relieve the symptoms of breast engorgement, and help to relieve blocked ducts and reduce symptoms of mastitis.

~ Do not overheat in microwave. Microwaves have differing wattages: 

700 watt = 16 seconds

1000 watt = 13 seconds

1250 watt = 11 seconds

*If still not warm enough, heat for no more than an additional 5 seconds at a time, until warm. Do not heat for more than 25 seconds in total.

~ Do not use in a conventional oven.

~ Place on breast around nipple. We recommend using the provided protective covers as a barrier between your skin and heat packs.

~ Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water post use and store in a plastic container in between uses to ensure quality and integrity.
