1. Instructions

Step 1. Put your PeachCool in the freezer

Place your PeachCool inside its freezer bag and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. When you take it out, wipe away any ice crystals that have formed on the surface.

Step 2. Test your PeachCool isn't too cold

Always test the temperature before applying them to your perineal area. You can do this by holding it against your inner wrist for a few seconds. The pack should feel cold but not painfully frozen.

Step 3. Apply to your perineum

Apply your PeachCool to your perineal area for 20 minutes. How you use it may change as postpartum bleeding decreases and depending on your sensitivity to cold. Here are a few ways to use your PeachCool:

1. Outside your postpartum diaper

If you're wearing a postpartum diaper, you can place PeachCool on the outside for gentle cooling. The diaper provides a comfortable barrier between PeachCool and your skin.

2. Inside your underwear, with a pad or liner between the product and your skin

As postpartum bleeding decreases, you may prefer to switch to underwear with a pad or liner. This keeps PeachCool close to your perineal area while the pad or liner absorbs postpartum bleeding.

3. Outside your underwear

If you no longer need a pad or liner, you can place PeachCool outside your underwear. The fabric provides a comfortable barrier between PeachCool and your skin while keeping it close to your perineal area.

Step 4. Repeat

After removing it, wait at least an hour before reapplying. Then repeat the cycle as needed.

2. Cleaning and storage

Hand wash the silicone packs in warm water with soap after each use. Make sure they're completely dry before returning them to the freezer. I store mine flat so they maintain their shape.

The freezer bag needs regular washing too. Toss it in the washing machine with hot water every couple of weeks. Again, make sure it's completely dry before putting it back in the freezer.

3. Safety notes

Never apply the PeachCool directly to your skin. Use a thin layer of fabric between the pack and your perineum. Don't use them on broken or irritated skin, and stop if you experience any discomfort.

These packs are for external use only. Don't microwave or heat them. If a pack becomes punctured or starts leaking, discard it immediately. Keep them out of reach of children.
