I made some but never used them because I didn't swell or rip. I bought the liquid and my own pads (make sure pads aren't scented) and just poured a good amount on them and put them in the freezer.
Get the pads!!!!!! After I gave birth they were my best friend for like weeks! But I'm not sure the brand, it was a little tub and I think it was blue maybe. They didn't do anything with my Ph but everyone is different so just watch and make sure (: but they are amazing
