We also use peri pads cut up then rinsed in water and frozen. We call them "Fish sticks." We also have the fancy twist and break the seal cool peri pads but usually only use those right after delivery and then go the less expensive "fish sticks" later.

For heat we use Thermacare menstrual cramp pads. They really do work for about 8 hours and I have personally had to take them off b/c I felt it was getting too warm on my tummy. Most patients love them!!! Especially multips.
