It stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. It sounds scary if you&#8217;ve not used one before, but the Ovira is so easy to use and really works. You place two sticky pads on your abdomen, and when you turn the device on it send small electrical currents through your skin to stimulate your nerves. This blocks pain signals and allows your body to release natural painkillers. There are high and low settings for whatever is your preference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staci.com.au\/products\/staci-companion?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Staci Companion<\/a><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ct9H3-8SCfq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ct9H3-8SCfq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Staci &#x2728; (@staciaustralia)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This heating device is designed to strap around your mid section.

It has roughly five hours of battery life depending on the setting you use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#ag_sc_newsletter { margin:3em 0 1em; }\n#ag_sc_newsletter .row_sc { overflow:hidden; }\n#ag_sc_newsletter.solo .col_half { width:auto; float:none; margin-bottom:2em; }\n#ag_sc_newsletter .col_half h3 { text-align:center !important; }\n#ag_sc_newsletter .col_half h3.icon { margin-bottom:0.75em; }\n#ag_sc_newsletter .col_half h3.icon i { font-size:inherit !important; }\n#ag_sc_s { background:#fff; color:#000; text-align:center; border:solid 1px #000; padding:6em 3em; margin:0 1em; }\n#ag_sc_s h3 { margin-bottom:1em !important; }\n#main article .entry-content #ag_sc_s ul { font-size:14px; }\n#ag_sc_s ul { overflow:hidden; list-style-type:none; text-align:center; display:inline-block; }\n#ag_sc_s ul li { float:left; list-style-type:none; margin:0 0.5em; }\n#ag_sc_s ul li i { font-size:2.4em !important; }\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"ag_sc_newsletter\" class=\"solo\">\n  <div class=\"row_sc\">\n    <div id=\"ag_sc_s\" class=\"col_half\">\n      <h3>Stay inspired, follow us.<\/h3>\n      <ul>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/russhmagazine\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@russhmagazine\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"russh_svg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/russh\/img\/tiktok-brands-solid.png\" alt=\"RUSSH TikTok icon\" height=\"30\" style=\"max-height:30px;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RusshMagazine\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/russhaustralia\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-pinterest\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Russhmag\"><i class=\"fa fa-youtube\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n        <li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/russh_magazine\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"russh_svg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/russh\/img\/x-twitter-brands-solid.png\" alt=\"RUSSH X icon\" height=\"30\" style=\"max-height:30px;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div> \n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re tired of pill after pill each month, try these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":246874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4539,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-246824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-wellbeing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>4 period pain devices to help manage your cramps without pills<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"These four ingenious devices can help reduce menstrual pain without the need for medication.
