UVA Warming Pad for Menstrual Cramps

A chamomile and clay filled pad that goes in the microwave for a minute, or in the freezer for an hour.

The UVA Warming Pad is a cotton canvas pouch divided into three sections and filled with natural chamomile seeds and small clay granules. Those granules hold temperature in both directions, so the same pad works warm for cramps and muscle tension or cold when you want cold. The three section design lets it drape over your lower belly and stay put rather than sliding off in one solid lump. It measures 30 cm by 15 cm, roughly 12 inches by 6, and it is made to be used for about two years.

Why you will love it

• Heat and cold from one pad. A minute in the microwave, or an hour in the freezer, and it is ready either way.
• Three sections rather than one flat pillow, so it bends over your body and stays where you put it.
• Chamomile seeds and clay granules hold temperature far better than a plain fabric pad.
• Reusable for around two years, so it replaces a drawer full of disposable heat patches.
• Cotton canvas, soft against bare skin, no plastic sitting on you.
• It carries the faint scent of chamomile, which is why the packaging is worth keeping to store it in.
• The clay granules are a natural mineral, so at the end of its life you can open it up and use them as plant fertilizer.
• No cord, no batteries, nothing to charge. It goes where you go.

How to use it

• For heat: microwave it for no more than one minute. Do not overheat it.
• For cold: seal it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for about an hour. Take it out of the bag before it touches your skin.
• Rest it on the area that hurts. Lower belly for cramps, or anywhere holding tension.
• When you feel better, take it off and put it back in its packaging, which keeps the chamomile scent in.

Care

• Keep it dry. Do not wash it, because water ruins the seed and clay fill.
• Never microwave it for more than a minute, and always check the temperature against your hand before it goes on skin.
• Store it in its box between uses to hold the scent and keep it clean.
• If the fabric ever gets damp, let it air dry completely before heating it again.

Use it for

• Menstrual cramps, warm across the lower belly.
• General muscle tension and everyday aches, anywhere you want heat.
• Cold therapy, when cold is what the situation calls for.
• Winding down at the end of a long day, since warmth on the belly is calming on its own.
• Travel and desk use, since there is no cord and nothing to plug in.

FAQ

How long does the heat last?

One minute maximum. Overheating it can scorch the fill and the fabric, so start with less and add time if you need it.

No. The fill is seeds and clay, and water will ruin it. Keep it dry and store it in its box.

About two years of regular use.

Can I use it cold?
Yes. Seal it in a plastic bag, freeze it for an hour, then take it out of the bag before putting it on your body.

Natural chamomile seeds and small clay granules. The clay is what holds the temperature, and the chamomile is what gives it the scent.

How big is it?
30 cm by 15 cm, which is roughly 12 inches by 6 inches.

What do I do with it when it wears out?
The clay granules are a natural mineral, so you can open the pad and use them as fertilizer for plants.
