Designed by a midwife

Throughout her 25 years as a midwife, Natalie was frustrated by the lack of a dignified, fit-for-purpose product to deliver relieving cold therapy to new mums. Natalie’s observations led her to develop the MamaCool™ pad so that clinicians could easily follow cooling therapy protocols and women’s recovery experiences could be improved.

The benefits of MamaCool are

• Provides pain relief without medication
• Hygienic, mess-free and easy-to-use solution perineal care following birth
• It doesn’t interfere with breastfeeding

“Women need a comfortable option that reduces pain and swelling. Midwives want a product that is easy to use, hygienic and works.”
