Hemorrhoids are one of pregnancy and postpartum’s least-discussed realities — and one of the most common.

These cooling witch hazel pads soothe the burning and itching, gently.

Between 25 and 35% of pregnant women get hemorrhoids — the result of increased pressure on the veins during pregnancy, straining, and vaginal delivery. Tucks Medicated Cooling Pads use witch hazel (50%) to calm burning and itching, with pre-moistened pads you can use without adding friction to an already tender area. Witch hazel has even been shown to be as effective as anesthetic sprays and other pain relievers for this kind of relief. Keep them chilled for extra cooling, use one after a bowel movement or whenever you need it, or fold one into a compress.

They earned their place in our collection the honest way: our advisor and investor Brooklyn Decker used them in her own recovery — and hasn’t stopped recommending them since.
