Materials Needed:

  3. Apply Aloe Vera Gel: Squeeze a generous amount of aloe vera gel onto the absorbent side of the maxi pad. This natural ingredient helps soothe and hydrate.

  6. Fold and Wrap: Fold the maxi pad back into its original shape, ensuring the gel and liquids are contained. Wrap the pad in plastic wrap to secure the ingredients.

  7. Place in Freezer-Safe Bag: Store the wrapped padsicle in a freezer-safe ziplock bag. This step helps maintain hygiene and makes the padsicles easy to grab when needed.

  8. Freeze and Use: Place the padsicles in the freezer until they are frozen. Once ready, use them as needed for postpartum relief.
