How MyPeriodPal Works

Yes, there have been numerous studies on the effects of reflexology for menstrual discomfort, which is medically known as primary dysmenorrhea.

They are published in USA medical journals as well as this one on the NIH website:

When used properly, the bands will provide relief for normal menstrual discomfort including cramping of the uterus, lower back pain, inner thigh pain and subpubic pain.

Varying levels of relief will be experienced, as some women’s pain level is different than others. To read some testimonials on how MyPeriodPal has helped women, click here.

Proper placement of the bands is also crucial.

I was living and working in a Korean boarding school in Pampanga, Philippines when I gave birth to my son.

A few months later I was having menstrual cramping, but still supplementally breastfeeding my son so I couldn’t take pain medication.

A Korean colleague of mine told me to press on the inside of my ankle and when I did, all of my discomfort disappeared.

I developed MyPeriodPal to keep that pressure applied so I could continue on with my day and still have relief.

MyPeriodPal is most effective when used at the onset of discomfort. This is different for every woman, for that reason I highly recommend visiting the Testimonials site to see how other women like you have had success.

Most women prefer to use them at work, school, overnight and while driving. You can comfortably do household chores while wearing low-top shoes or sandals/flipflops.

It is not recommended to wear them during heavy activity, sports or while wearing high-top shoes or boots.

MyPeriodPal bands are made from neoprene (like a wetsuit), hook and loop fastener (like Velcro) and silicone rubber.

MyPeriodPal are a hand-wash-only item. They can be submersed in water with a mild detergent. They should not be machine washed.
