With my second pregnancy almost over and my little boy almost here, I figured it was time to share the most amazing postpartum secret. I used these after my first pregnancy and they were amazing. Let's be real ladies, postpartum can be painful and not fun. We all need a little soothing down there and that is where these padsicles come in.
The padsicles have aloe vera, lavender, witch hazel all on a pad. It may seem weird but it definitely has a soothing and numbing effect. They are super easy to make. Check it out!
Steps to make the padsicles:
1. Open up pad.
2. Spread aloe vera along the whole pad.
3. Add ½ tablespoon of witch hazel to the length of the pad.
4. Add several drops of lavender oil to the length of the pad.
5. Spread out all ingredients across the pad. This is an optional step. I didn't do it the first time around and they still worked great.
6. Fold up the pad. I folded one end and then added the sticky cover so I could fold over the other side without the goop getting all over the stickiness. Next fold in the sides.

7. Fold up the wrapper and add to a ziploc bag. Put the ziploc in the freezer so they get cold. Pull one out when you need it.
These padsicles certainly made my postpartum life better and I hope they do the same for you! Do you have any postpartum tips or things you have used?
