That is genius. Last time I used these www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=107&products_id=751

And lots of witch hazel spray.

But this way sounds better.

I'm going to be a debbie downer and say that you are only supposed to ice for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. After that you should use a warm pack or a sitz bath to help promote healing.

Yes, that is what the midwife at our childbirth class said.

Glad you did it. I was about to come in and do the same thing. LOL. Ice is not the answer, dermoplast is!

I loved my dermoplast. My hospital also gave some awesome foam stuff that I doled out sparingly because it was awesome.

Not a Debbie downer, thanks for sharing! I didn't learn anything about this in my classes.
