Q: Can these be used in boiling water in the absence of a microwave?
A: Hello B, Our official recommendation for heating our packs is in the microwave. If a microwave is not available, fill a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the pack without touching the bottom of the pot. Bring water to a boil and remove pot from heating surface. Do not immerse pack while water is being heated. Use a blunt, nonmetallic tool to submerge and remove the pack from the water. Do not leave pack unattended while heating. Submerge the pack for the 1-2 minutes. If pack has not reached desired temperature, submerge again (in same water) for an additional minute. Do not allow the pack to come in contact with the pot or heat source for prolonged time, excessive contact may rupture the pack. Towel dry pack before applying. Always inspect the pack for signs of damage or leaking prior to use and discard if damage is found. Always test the pack temperature before application and allow to cool if needed.

Q: Can these be heated in a pan of water on the stove instead of the microwave?
A: Hello Ditdot13, thank you for this question. While we recommend using the microwave to heat up our packs, water can be used as an alternative heating method. However, if a microwave is not available, fill a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the pack without touching the bottom of the pot. Bring water to a boil and remove pot from heating surface. Do not immerse pack while water is being heated. Use a blunt, nonmetallic tool to submerge and remove the pack from the water. Do not leave pack unattended while heating. Submerge the pack for the 1-2 minutes. If pack has not reached desired temperature, submerge again (in same water) for an additional minute.Do not allow the pack to come in contact with the pot or heat source for prolonged time, excessive contact may rupture the pack. Towel dry pack before applying. Always inspect the pack for signs of damage or leaking prior to use and discard if damage is found.

Q: How many minutes to place them in your bra before I start pumping?
A: Using Lansinoh® TheraPearl® gel packs (hot) up to 5 minutes before you start pumping can help encourage faster let-down when you start pumping. However, it’s not necessary. You can snap them on to your breast pump and start pumping right away, and the heat will still help with let-down.
