Some embodiments provide a thermal pad having a sealed outer pouch and a sealed inner pouch within the outer pouch. A thermally transmitting material is encased by the inner pouch for transmitting heat or cold to a user of the thermal pad. In some cases the thermal pad also includes a baffling mechanism that divides the interior of the inner pouch into at least two areas and is configured to permit manual manipulation of the thermally transmitting material between the at least two areas and to at least partially retain the material within one or more of the at least two areas subsequent to manual manipulation. In some cases the thermal pad includes first and second layers of thermal insulation positioned between the inner pouch and outer pouch. Methods for administering thermal therapy to a womans vaginal area are also provided.
