What are the care and safety guidelines?
Can I reuse the Cool Couchie pads?
No, the pads are maternity pads with a built-in cooling function. Just like regular maternity pads, you use them once. They absorb the blood, and then you throw them away! Convenient! Because reusable ice packs don't absorb blood, you have to clean them each time (and trust us - you will bleed a lot!) and put them back in the freezer (and then wait for them to get cool).
Should I pack the Cool Couchie pads in my hospital bag?
We recommend that you pack at least two Cool Couchie Pads in your hospital bag for those early hours after delivery. Please make sure that when you pack these pads, you are not allowing much pressure on them, i.e., do not put heavy items on top of the pads. We recommend to use the 5-pack box when packing the items in your hospital bag.
Do I need to put the Cool Couchie pads in the freezer?
No! The pads are maternity pads with a built-in cooling functionality which gives you more comfort. This cooling functionality is achieved with a mix of water and calcium ammonium nitrate pearls inside the pad. When this pad is folded in half, the pearls breaks and therefore releases the cooling functionality. Isn't that cool? No need for those DIY padsicles of Pinterest!
Why is it recommended to cool your vagina after childbirth?
After childbirth, the vaginal area can be sore, swollen, and uncomfortable due to stretching and potential tearing. Cooling down the vagina provides pain relief by reducing swelling, numbing nerves, and soothing irritation. Cold temperatures help constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Using the Cool Couchie Maxi Pad designed for postpartum care is effective in providing cooling relief to the perineal or vaginal area.
How many Cool Couchie Pads would you recommend?
The Cool Couchie Pads are alternately used with regular maternity pads. We suggest starting with 10 pads to cover you for the first few days. If you need more after birth, you can easily order additional pads. If you reply to your latest order confirmation email and let us know you have already given birth, we'll do our best to have them delivered as soon as possible. While we do rely on PostNL for shipping, we always strive to provide you with the best service possible.
What is the expected delivery date?
Orders placed on business days before 23.00h are shipped the same day! Our packages are shipped by PostNL and often take 1-2 business days to arrive within NL. Shipping to other EU countries is expected to take 2-3 business days.
We offer free shipping on orders over 45 euros in the Netherlands and Belgium!
