Medi Heally’s Waist Warm pack (2 per box)

Seeing red, we see red every month. In fact, we produce red stuff every month. That’s right, in this post I will touch on a helpful menstrual product – sorry guys, this post is more for the ladies but you can take note on what to buy for those females around you during that time of the month.

Menstrual cycles bring us lots of problems ranging from cramps to backaches to bloating. Personally, I mostly get body aches, backaches, sometimes cramps and headaches. #WomenProblems. Normally, I just deal with these problems as naturally as possible – sleep them away.

However, some days are worse than others. Those are the days I wish I have a menstrual heating pad to help conquer the pain. I saw these instant heat packs on Althea and got it as part of my 2016 Xmas Althea haul.

What’s unique about the Medi Heally’s Waist Warm pack is that it’s a back heating pad! Yes, a portable heating pad just for your back instead of your period cramps – technically, you still can use it for your period cramps. I will touch on this tip later in the post.

There were 2 options available, the waist pack and the herb warm pack. I decided to get the waist pack at last because of its cute ovary shape. In fact as written in their description, this instant back heating pack claims to be of optimum size to circulate your blood around your waist. With more blood circulation, that means lesser pain!

Anyways, the portable back heating pad is recommended to those with severe cramps, backache and anxiety during their period. Plus, it’s also recommended to those who have indigestion on normal days. It also claims to improve the womb’s health.

Besides that it aims to:

Have a subtle and refreshing scent

Stay warm for 8 hours

Have a 53 degrees heating effect

Eliminate wastes

Relax your womb

Have a herb forment effect able to attach with

So, what witchcraft does this heating pack contains such that it can solve so many problems? Well, it’s not witchcraft. It’s just herbs! In fact a lot of herbs. 

Ingredients:

Fennel – for circulation balance

Geranium – calming purposes

Chamomile – anti-inflammatory

Lavender – relaxation

Wormwood – caring women health

Rose – Hormone balance

Ylang Ylang – release stress

Instructions: 

Use the pack 36 hours before your mensuration occurs

Take out the warm pack from the plastic pack

Take off the medical herb sealing at the front of the warm pack

Take off the paper at the back of the warm pack to reveal the sticky portion

Attached the waist warm pack on to your inner wear between tailbone and spine - DO NOT ATTACH DIRECTLY ONTO THE SKIN 

It is important to attach it to your inner wear for the pack will heat up to up to 53 degrees and it will burn your skin if pasted directly on it. 

If you’re wondering, where is your waist circulation zone, put your thumbs on your pelvis and open your hands. The middle of both of your palms is the waist circulation zone. The zone where your back heating pack should be at.

Before that, here’s a little backstory and tip on how you can turn it into a heating pad for cramps.

Story Time!

When I got my Althea Xmas Haul, I was having bad cramps on that day. I tried to sleep it away but eventually, I must get up and do some work. Unfortunately, the cramps did not go away. Right then, I opened my Althea box and immediately dug for the Medi Heally’s Waist Warm pack. I took an inner tube wear and paste the heating pack on and place it on my stomach instead of my back. Although the pain did not disappear the moment I place it on my stomach - that’s ridiculous - it did slowly ease away the longer I left it there.

What I like about it is the heat production. It is so warm that I’m sure if you pasted this on your bare skin, it will burn you. The stickiness of the back was also quite durable for I remember moving the heating pack from one tube to another and even going out with it under my shirt. It did not drop off.

A thing I like to not about this heating pad, would be how unnoticeable it is under my shirt. I thought that it would produce a strong scent and maybe even be bulging under my clothes. In the contrary, it was scentless and body hugging. It also felt very nice in front of my stomach and waist. I felt like I was getting a hug. A warm hug. It’s awesome. On top of that, the warm hug stayed for over 8 hours. Even longer than what it claimed to last.

Overall, I felt that my first experience with this menstrual heating pad was a success! Although I have yet to try it 3 days before my period – I can’t even predict my menstrual cycle because I have irregular periods and can’t predict when is my period– I believe that using it during the menstrual cycle is also a good alternative to those who face irregular periods yet have pre, present and post menstrual symptoms like myself.

Thus, I would give Medi Heally’s Waist Warm pack 5 IreviewUread smiles – up in the list of my Holy grail products!
