Period pain can stop you in your tracks — at work, at school, or just trying to get through the day. Many Australian women are now looking for drug-free ways to manage menstrual discomfort without relying solely on painkillers.
A TENS machine for period pain has become a popular option thanks to its portability, reusability, and gentle approach.
Why Does Period Pain Happen?
Menstrual cramps occur when the uterus contracts to shed its lining. These contractions can reduce blood flow and create that familiar aching or cramping sensation in the lower abdomen and back.
How Can a TENS Machine Help with Period Pain?
When used during your cycle, a TENS machine sends gentle electrical pulses through pads placed on the lower abdomen or back. These pulses may:
-
Help distract pain signals
-
Encourage natural endorphin release
-
Provide a soothing sensation during cramps
Many women describe it as a gentle buzzing or tapping feeling.
What Does It Feel Like?
TENS should never feel painful. Most users adjust the intensity to a comfortable level that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
When Should You Use a TENS Machine?
You can use a TENS machine:
-
At the first sign of cramps
-
During heavier pain days
-
While resting, working, or moving around
It’s designed to fit into everyday life — not interrupt it.
