[@TaniaDsouza-d3v]

What can I substitute in place of Witchhazel gel?

[@tanyalancasterbeisert8244]

Yes, yes, yes! Just made these for my second - lovedddd after my first!!

[@birthtoolbox]

Aren’t they easy to make!

[@labella754]

Plz can you tell me if you use it cold ?

[@YungDeath7220]

@@labella754yes, the are used frozen. Padsicles= Pad popsicles, the cold from being frozen helps aid in swelling but you shouldn’t use padsicles too often because the cold doesn’t let you heal as quick. You let them sit for a while before using to let them thaw a bit so that they aren’t as stiff and hard like ice

I was due yesterday, just waiting on lil miss to make her appearance! I just made these with stayfree maxi overnights with wings. I could not find any witch hazel without alcohol but I used the aloe Vera. Very excited to see how they feel in the aftermath

[@birthtoolbox]

Such an exciting time!!! Wishing you a smooth labor and new baby time.

[@mikailahutchison6421]

@@birthtoolbox thank you so much! 🥰

[@unexpectedhomemaker]

Can’t wait to try this in September ❤️

[@birthtoolbox]

Yay for a fall baby.😍

[@birthtoolbox]

Have you made padsicles before?

[@amberriley5511]

Do the pads have to be with wings or can they be wingless?

[@TaniaDsouza-d3v]

What can I substitute in place of Witchhazel gel?

[@birthtoolbox]

I don’t know of a substitution. You could try just skipping it and only use the aloe Vera.

[@meganpadgett9719]

Going to make these on Tuesday when I get some witch hazel! Can't wait. Due next Sunday 😁

[@birthtoolbox]

Awesome! Report back on how they work for you.

[@meganpadgett9719]

I made these last night before bed. Just in time!! Went into labor at midnight and had the baby at 3 AM! 🤣 Perfect timing. Thanks for all your vids. Loose and limp helped me this time (2nd baby) ❤️

[@birthtoolbox]

@@meganpadgett9719 🎉🎉🎉 I am so happy for you Megan. Congratulations on the birth of your second. I’m thrilled to hear that Limp and Loose helped!! You made my day. 😀😀😀

[@chasingcupcakes6216]

Can you make the. with diapers?

[@birthtoolbox]

I don't recommend that. I would put them inside the diaper. I think if you made them from the diapers they would be too cold and stiff to put on.

[@labella754]

Plz tell me if it used cold after the postpartum

[@birthtoolbox]

I’m sorry I don’t understand the question
