FAQs

When can I start using these pads after my C-section?

These pads are generally recommended for use from 10 days postpartum. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns about your incision.

How long does one pad last?

Each pad can stay in place and provide protection for up to 72 hours (3 days).

Can I shower while wearing the pads?

Yes, the pads are water-resistant, allowing you to shower with them on for continuous protection.

Do these pads help with pain relief?

The pads provide a cooling effect that can help soothe discomfort and reduce irritation from friction. They also protect the incision, contributing to a more comfortable recovery.

Are these pads suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the pads are latex & DEHP-free and classified as a medical device, designed to be gentle. However, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use.

How do I enhance the cooling sensation?

For an enhanced cooling sensation, you can chill the hydrogel pads in the refrigerator before applying them to your incision.

What should I do if the pad doesn't stick well?

Ensure your skin is clean and completely dry before application. Avoid applying any lotions, oils, or powders to the area. Press the pad gently but firmly to ensure good adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Pad not adhering well

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions, oils, or powders before application. Press the pad firmly to ensure all edges are secured.

Skin irritation upon removal

Gently peel the pad away from the skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure skin is moisturized after removal.

Pad feels warm or loses cooling effect

The cooling effect is most pronounced when the pads are chilled before application. If the pad feels warm, it may be due to body heat or ambient temperature. Re-chilling is not recommended after application.

Pad shifts or moves during wear

Ensure the hydrogel center is properly positioned over the incision and the surrounding edges are adhered smoothly to the skin. Avoid stretching the skin when applying.

Cons

  • Not intended for immediate use, requiring application from 10 days postpartum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Lansinoh C-Section Hydrogel Pads are designed for simple application. Ensure the skin around the C-section incision is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils before applying. Carefully peel the pad from its backing and gently place the 50% hydrogel center over the incision. Press lightly to ensure it adheres securely.

Compatibility: These pads are compatible with C-section incisions and are suitable for use once the initial critical healing phase is complete, generally recommended from 10 days postpartum. They are designed to be worn under clothing and are water-resistant.

Care: To maintain the effectiveness and adhesive properties, avoid applying lotions or creams to the skin directly beneath the pad. If the pad loses adhesion before the 72-hour mark, ensure the skin was properly prepared. For an enhanced cooling sensation, the pads can be chilled in the refrigerator before application. Dispose of used pads after removal.
