- tucks pads for your incision to help reduce puckering if you end up with puckering of the incision. or just to soothe once closed of course.
The hydrogen peroxide is a cleansing agent. When I had my c-section my doctor had me place this on my infected incision. Doesn't hurt at all. Always check with your doctor though before placing anything on your incisions.
