SELF-HEATING BANDS
FOR MENSTRUAL PAINS
Description
Muscle contractions of the uterus are the cause of menstrual pain that affects the lower abdomen and back.
ThermaCare For Menstrual Cramps provides therapeutic heat that relaxes the abdominal muscles to provide relief from menstrual cramps and associated back pain.
Effective against pain.
Comfortable to wear, thin and discreet. Disposable.
It does not contain any drugs.
How to use
Open the pouch when ready to use. ThermaCare can take up to 30 minutes to reach its therapeutic temperature. Remove the protective paper to expose the adhesive side. Place on the painful area, applying the adhesive side to your underwear, not your skin (some of the patch may leak through your underwear). For maximum effectiveness, we recommend wearing ThermaCare for 8 hours.
The product can be disposed of hot or cold in normal household waste.
