•They require a good amount of force to activate – it may be easier to fold the pack in half and squeeze tightly, until you hear/feel the ‘pop’. Don’t worry, you will not break it by pressing or squeezing too hard.
•Shaking the cold pack after activating mixes the ingredients to activate the cooling effect – SHAKE WELL! The better the ingredients are mixed, the more effective your cold pack will be!
•If you require even colder temperatures, spray / sprinkle a small amount of water onto the cold pack before shaking. Or use with a Witch Hazel Pad.
•When wearing your Instant Perineal Cold Pack, adjust your position / rock forwards and backwards to remix the ingredients and make the cold pack feel colder.
•We recommend adding our Witch Hazel Pads on top of your Instant Perineal Cold Pack for maximum post-birth soothing.
