We can't cure pain with a magic wand, but we have proven that warmth can make your period more pleasant. And who knows - you might not have to take medication in the same doses as you do today. Our customers, experts and global studies agree...
1. Heat is a universal helper. That is a proven fact.
Our grandmothers used to say that a warm towel would help with a sore stomach. And they were right. The heat will relieve your menstrual cramps - you can just use heated points instead of a towel.
2. Your support in the first days of menstruation, with endometriosis and chronic back pain.
Body will be your warm secret that will support you - both physically and mentally.
3. Heat helps relax muscles.
Heat promotes blood flow and helps tense muscles relax better.
4. Socializing will be more fun for you. Points will fly you across the ocean on a plane.
Many women feel out of place, especially at the beginning of their period. Thanks to the warm support, you will feel better at meetings, on airplanes and at festivals.
5. You can combine outfits however you like. Bodysuits go with everything.
The icing on the cake, giving you even more freedom. You can wear black polka dots to work, on a date, to the theater, or snuggle up on the couch at home. They'll look great everywhere.

We also talked about the effects of heat with the head of the department, Dr. Martin Němec, MBA, who heads the accredited center for the treatment of endometriosis and the pelvic area at the Frýdek-Místek hospital.
" I would be happy to recommend heated points to patients with endometriosis as a complementary treatment, because unlike hot water bottles, the points are mobile and women do not have to be confined to their homes." he says, adding that up to 30% of women experience painful menstruation. “Heat can be used in combination with any treatment. We know that heat on the lower abdomen has the same effects as pain medication.”
Women to women: Our customers say
"It helps me incredibly mentally."
"Immersing myself in a hot tub without needing a hot tub. Such a relief. I don't have to hold anything anywhere. I don't have to lie down. I can do what I need to do, and I have a little secret - my body relaxes."
"I got the points on the first day of my period, when my stomach and hips hurt from dancing."
"Before the endometriosis diagnosis, I was constantly in cramps, pain, and worried that it would only get worse. The heat helped me not only with the pain, but also psychologically."
