Pain Relief Spray with 4% Lidocaine

I began using the Lansinoh Pain Relief Spray with 4% Lidocaine two weeks into my postpartum recovery - all I can say is I wish I would have used it sooner! The spray is easy to apply to sensitive areas and provides welcome relief, especially if you have some nagging stitches.

The spray has the slightest burning sensation when it comes in contact with the skin and affected area (most likely from the Lidocaine), but that quickly evaporates into a pleasant numbing sensation that soothes pain and irritation. It can be used 3-4 times within 24 hours, which I have found matches the relief time of the spray.

Considering this product is gynecologically tested and approved for lactating mothers is a major plus as I don’t want to use anything that could harm me or my new baby. Overall, I have found this to be one of my most necessary tools in my healing.

I received this product for free with the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for this honest review.

Lansinoh has always been a brand that trust for my breastfeeding needs. From lanolin to nursing pads and milk storage bags, Lansinoh has never let me down. When I heard about their postpartum care products, I knew I wanted to give them a try. I recently had my third baby. The hospital provided a numbing spray after the delivery of my first two babies, however this time they did not. I was so thankful I had the Lansinoh Pain Relief Spray. The spray truly gave instant cooling relief! Another benefit that I was not expecting is that it didn't leave a greasy residue like the other numbing sprays I have tried in the past. It was also easy to apply because it sprays from any angle. I like that the ingredients are clearly listed and that it includes natural elements like aloe and essential oils. It's also reassuring to know it has been tested by both dermatologists and gynecologists. Without a doubt, this Lansinoh Pain Relief Spray has made my recovery a much more manageable experience. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this spray to all of my pregnant friends. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this lidocaine spray.

I have found this spray to work but wished it had a more cooling effect. I was hoping for more pain relief from the spray that what I am getting. It is a nice MILD pain relief as a last step in my bathroom steps after birth! I tore just a little but if I tore seriously I would need a stronger pain spray. I just gave birth 3 days ago

This spray was so helpful at relieving pain after I gave birth. I labored and then needed an emergency cesarean, and I was in considerable pain afterwards. This spray gave me instant relief in perineal areas and even on my bruised and swollen belly (from cesarean surgery). It worked instantly although didn’t last very long (maybe 20 minutes per spray), but then I could reapply as needed. The spray felt cooling and calming on my painful skin. It was wonderful having a pain relief spray that I could trust for post-birth pain because it had been tested for gynecological use. My only criticism is that I wish it had also been tested on breasts because it seems like it would be very helpful for breastfeeding nipple pain.

I received this product through the stellar product testing panel. This spray worked so well! Relief was almost instant upon application and provided welcomed cool comfort. I absolutely love that this product is gynecology tested. Definitely recommend!

When I received the Pain Relief Spray with 4% Lidocaine as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was a bit skeptical that it was super relevant to postpartum recovery. It seemed a little unnecessary with pain relief medication and things like cold packs/padsicles. For a little context, I had an unmedicated birth and did not have tearing (only abrasions), but when I got to use the Pain Relief Spray, it offered a little extra relief, especially in those early days when there is more swelling and the abrasions were more raw. I found that it was easy to apply, and offered quick (almost instant) relief. This made life easier as I adjusted to healing myself, caring for the new baby, and tending to our energetic and active toddler.

I don't prefer to be totally numb ,as I want to be able to have sensation/awareness as I heal: this offered relief without feeling like I was disconnected from my body. As I have moved into days five and six of postpartum recovery, it has also provided relief from the later healing when the light itching sensation can settle in.

I am glad I tried the Pain Relief Spray with 4% Lidocaine, and will recommend it to new parents as an option to make the postpartum period a little more comfortable!

Pros: Easy to use, offers gentle relief, relevant in all stages of recovery/healing.
Cons: Requires some attention/memory to stay within the maximum recommended numbers of daily application, make sure you are not allergic to topical anesthetics before using!
