A small, reusable, previously cooled or frozen bladder that is applied to the anal area of a user. The bladder consists of two two-ply sheets of a flexible, semi-porous material, such as polyethylene, hermetically heat sealed together at the edges to form an internal cavity. The cavity contains a cold-temperature storage means, such as water, glycerol, a combination thereof, or other chemical slurry, and a medicinal agent, such as witchhazel, shark oil, yarrow, other astringents, and lidocaine or other pain relievers. |
