This is the compression belt that provides relief from menstrual discomfort in minutes without medication or hot water bottles. Invented by a chiropractor who treats elite female athletes, the ingeniously simple device requires no electricity or batteries. After fastening the belt, the user simply lies on her side and uses an adjustable mechanism to increase the tension of its two compression pads against the hips. By placing steady pressure in this area, the belt relaxes tense pelvic ligaments that can tighten uncomfortably during a woman's menstrual cycle, thereby reducing or eliminating abdominal and back pain. A fifteen-minute session provides hours of relief and can be repeated as often as needed. The adjustable belt fits most sizes and comes with a fabric drawstring storage/travel bag. (1 1/4 lbs.)
