Could these be used for "that time of the month" pains?

I wouldn't. These are good on pain when you first start using them but continuous use lessens the pain relief time and they are murder to get off over time. The 8 hrs relief is now down to 5 hours. Hope this helps

I haven't used it for that but It won't hurt to try it. I use them for sore throat, back and hip ache and also for congestion. When I have trouble breathing from a cold, I put one on my chest and one on my back. Works great!!

This is probably a matter of personal sensitivity. In my experience, yes, it can be used for extended periods because it is light and presses softly on the ears. I actually forget I have them on for hours sometimes.

I don't think it's a good use of them, but you could. They are really thick so they're not as stretchy as a rubber band.

has anyone tried these to help heal/prevent pressure sores in bedridden people?

Hi,We wanted to try it on aches and pains.....my husband hurt his back in Viet Nam, and a lot of times his meds don't help much. This helps a little, but we have to be careful because too much of it burns.

Yes-- my leg cramps get pretty bad sometimes. This helps relieve the pain really fast

Not sure about that situation, I got them because I have calf pain at times and these offer my legs a mild compression support and warmth which helps with the pain and soreness.

I would imagine it would lessen the pain. The hand grips are comfortable and they move without effort.

That's totally up to you. I like to use them once a week, generally on Friday night so I can feel the energy for when I wake up & be ready for whatever I need to do for the weekend.

Around the 2 hr mark I started to have some discomfort, I was using them during workouts which last about 90 min and I was fine. On the walk back I started some mild discomfort. They were great during the workout though.

I would say yes. It will help you from being as sore. You can take during or after your cycle.

Yes. Catch them as early as possible, when you first feel them. It definitely does work.

Probably not, these start to hurt after an hour, especially if you wear glasses

Depends on where the pain is. Sometime three or four times sometimes lessens it. No set time, like knees, use every few days.

You could. The heat takes forever to warm up. It also feels like the massagers have rough edges.

Probably not. These work using acupressure at a point that is specific for nausea. If you google "acupressure for arthritis", there are sites out there that show points that might help you.

Yes you can. I have tried it. It seems uncomfortable and I lost some control in them. I felt as though I was losing some effectiveness. Hope this answer helps you.
