sometimes i wish i had a dick. i feel like shit. i have been sitting with a heating pad on my belly all day, i took ibuprofen (sp?). i still feel awful, and i know i will have an awful time sleeping tonight. has anyone tried those heating things that you stick on yr belly like a sticker and wear under yr clothes? do they help?
sorry to bitch so much, but you know how it is.

i tried the heatpatch things on my last period. for some odd reason i had terrible cramps last time and i was also traveling and on vacation so i didnt wanna deal w/ it. i liked the heatpads a lot. they helped me. they say that u can wear it for a full 12 hrs but i had to take mine off for an hour or so after 6 or 7 hrs b/c it was making me hot (made me feel like i was having hot flashes and i'm only 19..lol). i also slept w/ it that night and it still had heat when i woke up. so i'd recommend it..hope u feel better. :o)

The heating pads work wonders for me. They help relieve my cramps and back pain really well, and let me tell you, I have the WORST cramps you could ever think of.

I wish I had one right now. Grrr..

I'm wearing one of the heat patches right now. The red kind, I think it's ThermaCare or something.
They work reasonably well, about as well as a heating pad -- what I like is that it's portable :o) I hate the stickyness, because it doesn't fit on the inside of my undewear - its too big and i need it slightly higher up -- and it also catches on my hairs and i *hate* that.. but I have also found that if I just leave the paper on then it doesn't heat up as much (it works by being in contact with air, and the paper prohibits some of that -- so does really tight clothing) so I have started sticking it on the inside of my pants instead which works well.
