Description
Overview
Tucks Medicated Cooling Pads are single-use pads moistened with witch hazel 50% (w/w), which the maker’s ingredient listing gives as an astringent. The pads are pH balanced, hypo-allergenic and dye-free. This listing is the 100-pad box.
Tucks’ product information describes them as hemorrhoidal pads for burning and itching caused by hemorrhoids, with other suitable uses given as daily cleansing of the outer rectal or vaginal area and as a moist compress; the maker also mentions use following childbirth or rectal or vaginal surgery. A pad is applied externally after cleaning the area with mild soap and warm water and patting it dry; it is then discarded and the hands washed. For a compress, a pad is folded, placed on the area and left for up to 15 minutes. Tucks is a Blistex Inc. brand.
