TensCare Ova+ - 4 Tailor Made TENS Programmes for Pain relief from Period Pain, Ednometriosis and Dysmenorrhea. Silent Unit to be used at Home, Work or on the Go

I bought this after getting sick and tired of constantly being put on painkillers each time i visit the doctor to ask about other pain relief methods, i have to say it certainly is different and it is helping a great deal. And this is coming from someone who is normally semi-permanently bed bound for a whole 7 day week+ each month.First time using it i was a little nervous as to what to expect of it, the tingling sensation isn't what i would call uncomfortable, but you can't help but notice it [certainly good for literally distracting you from your misery]. It really is easy to use, and the instruction booklet is simple and devoid of jargon and the device itself is a nice size, easy to slip into your pocket or clip onto lower clothing.The one and only little gripe i have to say about it is, that the device just sits/rests in the clip-holder and could easily be bumped out of said holder by accident if say the user was one to jog or run with it on.HOWEVER despite that, I really would recommend this little machine, to anyone looking for an alternative or a supplemental change to painkillers, its certainly has helped and is still helping me.

the device is a lot smaller than expected which is excellent and very discreet. After suffering with endometriosis pains in my abdomen and back this is the one thing I didn’t try because I thought it was basically a hoax to take money (as in the online ones, not the hospital ones). I caved after being bed bound for a few days and let me tell you, so worth it. You get used to the fizzing feeling and you don’t feel too much pain!! Doesn’t alleviate it entirely but means I can now move without excruciating pain. My advice is to stop thinking about it and buy it.

It’s a lot smaller than I expected, super cute looking. Comes in a pink case too.It has definitely helped with my cramps on my lower tummy. I was a tad sceptical about it but thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try it. Especially being only £30 compared to the Livia thats hundreds of pounds and advertised all over the Internet!Sometimes I’ll still get a cramp twinge but the device helps keep you distracted from it so it’s not half as bad as it would be without it. Lots of different strengths to the modes so you’ll be sure to find one that helps the most. It’s powerful considering how small it is. But you can find the right strength for you so you feel comfortable.Almost feels like a “Fizzy” feeling, a tad like pins and needles but not painful or annoying. Also warming.I haven’t taken any pain meds so far and I’m on the first day which tends to be the most painful for me.So far I’m very happy with purchase!!Everyone’s different though. I think it might work for others and some it might not. But I was willing to give it a go. So glad I did!

Used to help with endometriosis pain. Quite uncomfortable at first and could actually see my skin moving due to stomach contractions. But blocked the pain receptors after about half an hour. Comfy to keep on for a few hours. Easily comes out of the clip though which resulted in me almost losing it down the toilet!

I have very painful periods were in the past i can spend the first three days curled up a ball sometimes, spend most the time in the bathroom and can throw up. This doesn't take the fall pain away but it does help with it and less medication is require but I have given this a two star due to the fact this is only my second period and the device is faulty and can't be charged therefore its not working which is not something you expect when you spend nearly £30. Amazon have been amazing as usual and are sending me a replacement out so I will change this review in due course once I've seen how the replacement one works for more than one use.EDIT: This would have been a 5 star review if the device continued to work. Amazon were great sending me the replacement in June but just 10 months later it's not working effectively anymore. The battery dies within an hour of on/off usage were as before I could use it on and off for 6 - 8 hours without that happening. Not good if you have endometriosis and need relief on and off during the night because it needs to be charged every hour which means you a.) basically don't sleep or b.) have brief relief for the shortest amount of time before being in agony again. Such a shame, maybe the company needs to look into the manufacturing of this product so it can last longer than 10 months before its basically useless. I may have to look into other products now to help. This product is very poorly made which is why it doesn't last.

This thing has been such a lifesaver. I suffer from endometriosis, and get crippling cramps, but find that the amount of NSAIDs I need to take to get my pain under control makes my stomach really sore (plus they never last long enough!). Previously I have relied on heated pads to ease pain and help me settle, particularly at night, but this has been brilliant. My pain is almost always worst at night, and now I just stick the pads on before bed, and plug myself in as and when required. I've figured out which settings work fastest for me, and have found that a very short period of usage significantly reduces, if not completely alleviates my cramps for several hours.My only gripe would be that the plastic clip that holds the case is a bit flimsy, and my device has slipped out once or twice. Also, my husband complains about the 'clicky clicky' noise of me adjusting the strength level buttons at night, but I'd take that over nausea and being unable to sleep due to pain any day!

I bought this due do having had enough of taking pills that do not touch my period pain. However I haven't found any relief using this machine. My cramps are so bad they make me vomit. Maybe they are too severe for it to have any effect? Looks like I'll just have to suffer! It may have been useful if there were 4 pads, 2 for lower abdomen and 2 for the back. I had to keep switching them or I tried with one front and one back, but with no relief. However this is a nifty little machine and is very discreet. I love that it's wireless. I have been using it for a recent flare up of sciatica and it works nicely, better than anti-inflammatories. I would recommend this product but not if your period cramps are severe (although everyone is different so this could work for you) and if you experience them simultaneously in the back and lower abdomen.

I'll start off this review by saying, I have extremely painful but light periods. I was taking Paracetamol and ibuprofen every 3 hours for 4 days straight every period. Luckily, I work from home and so every period was spent the first two days working from bed, popping pills and constantly reheating a microwave bear, with little to no relief from all of this.I decided that enough was enough and I needed to stop taking as many tablets as surely it was going to be detrimental to my health. This is when I purchased the TensCare Ova Plus. At first I was very skeptical as to whether this would work or not and to my surprise, it does!When my pain is at it's worst, I admittedly do still feel a little discomfort but such little to the point that I feel I can get on with my day, working around the house, running errands, just like any normal day, without any tablets. It is super easy to hide under clothes and easy to work around during toilet visits. If I went out to work, this little device would be essential for every day!The only annoying thing about this is, as you are wired up to your tiny little device, I still have to take a set of tablets before bed time as I do move around a lot in the night and would worry about damaging the device if I wore it overnight.Overall, If you are having periods that are as painful to the point of it disrupting your day, I'd definitely give this little fellow a go!EDIT: I would just like to add that I have removed one star from my original 5* review as after 3 months of usage I found an issue with using this device. I found that a day or two after the start of my period for three months straight I suffered from a urine infection which had to be treated with antibiotics all 3 times. On the fourth month I ate and drank the same as the previous months but did not use the Ova Plus at all. Surprise surprise, no urine infection and I haven't had one since stopping using this device. This may be something to just keep in mind if you find yourself with this issue.

It’s quite easy to use and set up. Wide range of intensity levels, so you can really adjust it to your preference. 4 different modes. The device is small and light, so easy to hide under clothes.It stops you from feeling the pain quite well. But it does have a tingling sensation when you use it, and you can feel the muscles moving at higher intensity. So if you’re expecting something that just takes away the pain with no sensation, this type of device isn’t it. Personally the sensation is kind of satisfying for me.The only thing is, it only comes with one set of electrodes. You have to replace them after about 20 uses, so that’s an additional cost. But compared to other machines, it’s really good value for money.
