Our Calendula-Witch Hazel potion is our ultimate all-rounder.

For Vaginal Birth:
There really are no rules with this mama. Spray directly to your perineal area as frequently as needed for a calming and cooling sensation. This is great to use every time you go toilet! Spray me upside down for easy application.

Once your initial bandage comes off, spray directly on your c-section incision.*
*Talk to your Lead Maternity Carer first to discuss your specific needs and when would be best to use.

Making your own padsicles is an easy and useful treatment for your postpartum care - whatever way you birth! So if you are making them and planning for a vaginal birth - but have a belly birth - they are still just as useful on your incision!  Our witch hazel and aloe vera blend provides instant cooling and supports the healing of sensitive skin tissues. 

To make them we have a tutorial here:

Squeeze a dollop of gel onto a new pad and smear it around. Fold the pad in half. Repeat on more pads, this gel makes up about 20 pads. Place the pads inside an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep them clean and avoid that weird freezer smell (preferably something reusable). 

For Vaginal Birth:
When you are ready to use, allow the pad to thaw a little at room temp before using it on your bare skin. Pop it on in replacement of your usual pad, or pop it inside your nappies. Use up to 3 x a day for the first few days.

For C-section Birth:
After your initial bandage has come off and you get the all-clear from your care provider, use the pads over your incision! It can provide instant cooling and supports the healing of sensitive skin tissues. WIN!
