The Frida Mom Perineal Witch Hazel Healing Foam is a cooling, medicated foam that you pump straight onto your maternity pad or liner to soothe the perineal area after birth. Because it's a foam rather than a spray or liquid, it sits on top of the pad instead of soaking straight in, so the relief stays where you need it, from front to back.
Made with a 50% witch hazel formulation and free from dyes and fragrances, it's designed to provide cooling relief for soreness and swelling after a vaginal birth, including tears, stitches and haemorrhoids. It comes in a 150ml (5 fl oz) bottle with a pump dispenser, and you can keep it in the fridge for an extra-cool feel.
Key Ingredients
| Witch Hazel (50% formulation) |
What it does: Provides cooling relief for a sore, swollen perineum and haemorrhoids. Why it works: Witch hazel is a traditional astringent used in postpartum care, delivered here in a foam that stays on top of the pad. |
| Foam format |
What it does: Covers the full perineal area from front to back. Why it works: Sits on the surface of the pad rather than absorbing into it, so more of it reaches tender skin. |
How to Use
- Pump a layer of foam onto your maternity pad or pad liner, covering the full length.
- Place the pad in your underwear as usual.
- Reapply with each fresh pad, starting from your first postpartum bathroom trip in hospital.
For extra cooling, store the bottle in the fridge.
Best For
The Frida Mom Perineal Witch Hazel Healing Foam is a good option for parents who:
- Are recovering from a vaginal birth, with or without tears or stitches
- Are dealing with postpartum haemorrhoids
- Want cooling relief they can add to every pad change, without dabbing or wiping on sore skin
It may not be the right fit if you:
- Have had a C-section without vaginal or perineal soreness
- Know you're sensitive to witch hazel
Good to Know
For external use only. Don't insert into the body. If you notice irritation, bleeding that gets heavier, or soreness that's getting worse rather than better, stop using it and speak to your doctor or midwife. Keep out of reach of children.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Pair it with the Frida Mom Witch Hazel Cooling Pad Liners or Instant Ice Maxi Pads for a layered postpartum routine, and keep the bottle in the bathroom fridge door-side so it's cold every time you change.
