Alora Medical Instant Perineal Ice Pad 3 Pack

The Alora Medical Instant Perineal Ice Pad is a single-use peri-pad that combines instant cold therapy with the absorbency of a maternity pad, designed to provide convenient cooling relief and comfort during postpartum recovery. Worn discreetly inside your underwear like a standard sanitary pad, it's made for those first tender days after birth when the perineal area can feel swollen, bruised or sore.

What sets this ice pad apart from a traditional cold pack is that it needs no freezer and no fridge. You simply activate it, give it a gentle shake, and place it in position — which makes it just as easy to use in your hospital bag as it is at home. Each pack contains three single-use pads, and each pad offers approximately 20–30 minutes of cooling per use.

How it Works

• Instant activation: An internal cooling system is activated by folding or snapping the centre of the pad, so it chills on demand without any refrigeration or preparation.
• Cryotherapy and absorbency in one: The pad pairs cold therapy with the absorbency of a maternity pad, so a single pad both cools the area and helps contain normal postpartum discharge.
• Soft, breathable contact layer: A soft absorbent side sits against the body, worn inside underwear for discreet, everyday comfort.

How to Use

1. Remove one pad from its packaging.
2. Fold or snap the centre of the pad as directed to activate the internal cooling system.
3. Shake the pad gently to distribute the cooling contents evenly.
4. Place the pad inside your underwear with the soft absorbent side against the body.
5. Use for approximately 20–30 minutes, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
6. Remove and dispose of the pad after use.
7. Use a fresh pad for every application — the pads are single-use and should not be reused.

As a general guide for postpartum use, a pad can be applied for around 20–30 minutes soon after birth, with a fresh pad used again after about four hours if needed, and thereafter repeated as required for comfort. Ideal frequency and duration vary from person to person, so follow the advice of your midwife, doctor or maternity-care provider, and allow the skin to return to its normal temperature between applications.

Best For

The Alora Medical Instant Perineal Ice Pad is a great option for parents who:

• Want cooling comfort and absorbency in one pad during postpartum recovery, including after vaginal birth, episiotomy or perineal tearing
• Are packing a hospital bag and want a cold-therapy option that needs no freezer or fridge
• Prefer a single-use, disposable pad with no washing or preparation
• Are looking for temporary relief of discomfort associated with postpartum haemorrhoids or post-procedural tenderness

It may not be the best fit if you would prefer a reusable, washable cold pack rather than disposable single-use pads.

Safety and Disclaimer

Use only as directed. Do not cut, puncture, microwave, heat, freeze or reuse the pad, and keep the contents away from the eyes and mouth. If a pad leaks, remove it immediately, wash the affected skin and discard it. Avoid use on open wounds (unless approved by a healthcare professional), areas with reduced sensation or poor circulation, infected tissue, or damaged skin where the product has not been recommended. Stop use if you develop skin burning, persistent numbness, blistering, marked irritation, increased pain, or a rash or allergic reaction.

The Peri-Pad is intended to provide temporary cooling comfort and absorbency during postpartum or post-procedural recovery. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition, and it does not replace maternity care, wound assessment, prescribed medication or emergency treatment. Seek urgent maternity or medical care for warning signs such as heavy bleeding that soaks a pad in an hour or less, passing large blood clots, dizziness or fainting, fever or chills, foul-smelling discharge, increasing pain, redness, warmth, swelling or pus, a wound that appears to be opening, or any concern following a third- or fourth-degree tear. Always follow the instructions supplied and the advice of your healthcare professional.
