Quick answer
Lansinoh Soothies C-Section Recovery Pads are designed to sit gently over your incision line, not on it, providing soft coverage and comfort during the first weeks of healing. Use them inside your waistband or underwear for all-day support.
Why gentle coverage matters after a C-section
After a C-section, the incision area is sensitive and needs protection from friction and rubbing. These pads offer a soft barrier that stays in place without pressing directly on the wound, reducing irritation from clothing or waistbands.
How to use Soothies C-Section Recovery Pads
- Prepare your skin and the pad: Make sure your incision area is clean and dry. Remove the pad from its packaging and unfold it gently. The soft side goes toward your skin. Do not place the pad directly over a wet or moist wound; wait until the area is fully dry.
- Position the pad over the incision line: Hold the pad horizontally and place it so that it covers the incision line without pressing on it. The pad should rest above or below the incision, not directly on the scar. A common mistake is pressing the pad right onto the incision; it should lie flat above or below for optimal comfort.
- Secure with waistband or underwear: Pull your underwear or a loose waistband up over the pad to hold it in place. The friction from the fabric keeps the pad from shifting during movement. Swap to a softer, higher-waisted underwear to avoid extra pressure on the incision.
