In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps inspired by the popular TikTok video from @wearedanandsam.

Materials Needed:

  1. Maxi pads (chemical-free for sensitive skin)
  2. Aloe vera gel (natural and soothing)
  3. Witch hazel (anti-inflammatory properties)
  4. Lavender essential oil (optional for added relaxation)
  5. Plastic wrap
  6. Freezer-safe ziplock bags

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Prepare Your Work Area: Set up a clean and sanitized workspace with all your materials within reach.

  2. Unwrap the Maxi Pad: Carefully unwrap the maxi pad, ensuring it stays intact.

  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.

  4. Add Witch Hazel: Spritz or pour witch hazel onto the pad. Witch hazel's anti-inflammatory properties provide additional relief.

  5. Optional: Lavender Essential Oil: For a calming touch, add a few drops of lavender essential oil. This step is optional but can enhance the overall soothing effect.

  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.
