How to do Vaginal Ice Application Therapy:

- After ice application, leave ice off for at least 60 minutes

She*Pak Cooling Kit – from FemiCorp
The She*Pak Cooling Kit is a specially designed ice pack for internal and external clitoral tissue ice application therapy at the same time. It is meant to be frozen, however, if you find that too intense of a cold it can also be placed in the fridge. The unique design and shape of the ice cooling pack allow for discreet wear, hallelujah! It is a more rigid design so you may find some discomfort in certain positions or while walking, however, it does allow more mobility than the water cones or rigid dilator options. The Cooling Kit includes one She*Pak ice pack, a reusable box to keep it clean in the freezer, three lubrication packets, and an instruction booklet. It is also safe to use either a silicone or water-based lubricant of your choice with the She*Pak. This is great for relief of vaginal dryness and itching, vaginal soreness or pain, genital reconstruction recovery, pain with intercourse after menopause, post vaginal delivery relief, or as a cool down after a hot night!
Whether you use these products to bring you relief after a fun night of romping or to relieve symptoms from bodily changes, the benefits are the same. Bringing you sweet relief that doesn’t interfere with your everyday life!
