ThermaCare Menstrual Pain Therapy HeatWraps send real heat deep into your muscles to relax contractions and relieve period cramps for up to 8 hours. They’re thin and discreet enough to wear under clothing on the go or while relaxing.
Why Heat Therapy Works for Period Cramps
Menstrual cramps come from prostaglandins — the chemicals that trigger the uterine muscle contractions that expel the uterine lining. The more prostaglandins, the stronger the contractions and the sharper the pain. Heat works on that directly: it relaxes the contracting muscle and increases blood flow to the lower abdomen, helping clear the prostaglandins behind the cramping. ThermaCare Menstrual Pain Therapy HeatWraps send real heat deep into your muscles for 8 hours of cramp relief — drug-free, and thin enough to wear under clothing.

for Relieving Menstrual Pain
It’s common for women to experience some cramping with their period. It starts a day or two before their period starts and can continue for a few days after it ends. The pain comes from increased prostaglandins, which trigger uterine muscle contractions to help expel the uterine lining.
Bring the heat:
To get some relief from period pain, try placing heat wraps for menstrual cramps on your lower abdomen. Put it below your belly button with the adhesive side against your underwear. Also take a warm shower or bath. Even drinking a warm beverage like tea could help.
Take a walk:
That desire to curl up on the couch may be tempting but hold off just a bit. Regular exercise can help ease period pain.
Give yourself a massage:
Grab some aromatherapy massage oil and use your fingertips to lightly massage circles around your lower belly area.
