Those lovely cold pads...STMs

Does anyone know where I can purchase those ow so amazing huge pads that you break and they turn super cold? They were my best friends after having both my boys and the hospital was stingy with them and only gave me a few to go home with :(

I must be bad at searching because I can't find them at any drug store or wal-mart in store or online....all they have is cold packs not the pads :(

I have not seen them for sale at any retailer.  However, I have friends that have made their own out of clean sanitary pads and sterile water put in the freezer.

Also found these.  Doesn't seem like the gauze sleeves are readily available for the other ones.  These seem disposable.  Less eco friendly but perhaps easier.

My OB suggested taking some panty liners and getting them wet and freezing them before heading to the hospital. I didn't get why with my 1st but 2nd time around i was so so so so happy I did!!!

I worked on the postpartum unit for 3 years. We made wonderful ice packs (which were also absorbent as well) out of newborn diapers. You  just tear open the end by the tape, grab the sides and break the diaper apart and fill with ice. Roll down a couple of times and use the tape to tape it back up. They are awesome.

Good timing on this post!Helpful pre-baby too for those unlucky enough to have vulvar varicosities. Don't google. Just know that it sucks.
