This is a neat little kit to help increase comfort during labor, but obviously can be used any time and for other reasons. It would make a fun and useful gift. The set includes a hot/cold pack, a stress ball, and a massager. It's a small set of very useful items and will easily fit in your hospital bag.
The hot/cold pack is a nice little rectangle that measures 7.5 by 4 inches. It's made of smooth, clear plastic and is filled with tons of little magenta gel beads. You can put it in the fridge or freezer to make a cold pack or microwave it (shortly) or heat it in warm water to make a hot pack. It feels great and definitely helps relieve cramps and sore/tight muscles. It's also easy to wash if needed with a little soap and water.
The stress ball is a little black ball that fits perfectly into your palm. It's about the size of a hacky sack. It feels like the outside is neoprene. It's smooth and flexible and stretchy. The inside feels like a solid mass of something squishy, but with a bit of resistance. It's fun to play with and squeeze.
The massager is a little clear plastic star shape with nice balls on each point. The whole thing is slightly curved, so you can easily run it over your back, shoulders, feet, etc and it feels wonderful. It's also easy to wash with soap and water if needed. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. #LaborKit
