I use electric heating pads when I am ready to go to sleep. It’s the perfect way to go to rest. The only downside is when I was in school and college I wasn’t able to plug it in as I listened to a teacher or professor teach.
But these next two options were game changer.

Someone tole me to get a sock, fill it with rice, tie it up and use it as a way to relieve cramps. It truly did help.
However, you would have to warm it up often when it got cold.

This is my go to item to use when my menstrual cycle comes on and I have to work or need to use it on the go.
