Q&A

How important are pillows to surgery recovery?
Pillows are an incredibly important aspect of your hysterectomy recovery and other surgeries like C-section, tummy tuck, hernia repairs. It is recommended that you hold a small firm pillow (like  My Cool Companion™) over your incision as you cough or sneeze which provides support to your tender belly. Additionally, place a small pillow between your tender incision area and the seatbelt on any car ride to make a safer and more comfortable car ride. We suggest having a 7 Stitches® My SeatBelt Bestie™ Post Surgical Seat Belt Pillow in the car for this purpose. Once you are at home, My Cool Companion™ tummy pillow can also be used to prevent pets and small children from bumping your incisions. .

Why does this pillow have a pocket?
The pocket on My Cool Companion™ is to hold an ice pack or a heated pack for your comfort against your tender abdominal incision/s.
