Pain is a common side effect during menstruation, an experience that over 80% of women face. We have been told to smile through our pain and to just get over it since it happens to everyone. Although common, suffering through pain while on your period should not be accepted as the only option. While painkillers and heating pads work great for some people, we love TENS as an alternative or complementary solution.

The Circe wireless TENS Device is designed to relieve this pain that so many women face. It is a drug-free, customisable, doctor-approved period pain relief device that utilises TENS technology to ease menstrual cramps. TENS technology has been around since the 1970s and was initially used to reduce pain for athletes and those who suffer from chronic pain. 

 

 

 

Why TENS Will Work For You

 

The Circe TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Device is compact, portable, and super easy to use. The localised sticky pads provide instant relief from pain due to menstruation. Features include: 

• The device can be worn under your clothing and does not interfere with day-to-day tasks 
• Can be worn for up to 10 hours
• Six settings allow you to choose the exact intensity that you need 
• TENS is reusable and rechargeable
• 100% natural and drug-free

TENS has been supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AFP), and the American College of Physicians (ACP). A clinical study found that TENS effectively relieves pain for 95% of women. It has even been utilised to reduce pain from contractions for women in labour. 

The importance of women’s health has been dismissed for far too long. We have been told that our pain is just an inevitable part of our lives. We have been conditioned to believe that issues that affect our health and well-being are taboo. 

You deserve to be unburdened by how women have been treated in the past, and above all, you deserve pain-free periods! 

 

 

How the Circe TENS Device Works

 

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The Circe TENS Device is a period pain relief mechanism that uses a mild electrical current to dissolve feelings of cramping and discomfort. The device is a rechargeable battery unit with accompanying sticky pads called electrodes. The TENS device is connected to the sticky pads through lead wires, and distributes mild electrical pulses throughout the area of your body that they are adhered to. The device works for most areas of the body but is most commonly used for easing cramps in the lower abdomen and the lower back. It can be used on any other part of your body except your head or on the chest area. The electrical current effectively disrupts the pain signals being sent to your brain, reducing the intensity of the pain. It also relaxes the muscles in the affected area and helps your body produce endorphins, a natural painkiller. The TENS device also reduces swelling and helps with circulation. It is a natural, drug-free pain relief alternative for when you are experiencing discomfort due to menstruating.

 

How to Use the Circe TENS Device

 

• Step 1: Attach the charged device to the centre of the sticky electrode pad. Make sure that it is clean and securely fastened onto the pad. 
• Step 2: Ensure your skin is clean and dry, and apply the device and sticky pad to the area where you are experiencing menstrual pain or cramps, like the lower abdomen or back.
• Step 3: Turn the device on and select the lowest intensity of electrical pulses. If needed, you can gradually increase the setting until you reach the desired, comfortable level.
