PS Love Period Tracker and Heat Patches

That time of the month is coming and I need to prepare my relief patches. Having endometriosis causes me to get severe cramps and it helps when I know when to expect them.
I’ve been tracking my period with a free app by PS Love that provides accurate predictions and personalised insights to my feminine health. Aside from tracking PMS, it even tracks ovulation dates and pregnancy for family planning. The new feature, Relief, allows me to purchase pain relief patches straight from the app.

Heat Patches

I cannot tell you how much of a life saver these heat patches are especially since pain killers don’t work for my aches and menstrual cramps. Not only are they convenient, they come in no-fuss packaging, compact to take with me and very straight forward to use. They now come in RealHeat technology for optimal heating up to 12 hours and new Japanese adhesives for even more comfort.Ingredients: Iron, Activated Carbon, Water, Salt, Vermiculite (Mineral).
