Ovira is a scientifically centric design that focuses on relieving period cramps instantaneously. It is a small technical device with sticky sections that are meant to attach onto the love handles, the tummy, or back. Following this, the device is turned on and sends out small electrical pulses through the body, which feels similar to light vibrations.
These pulses overload the nerves to block any pain signals that reach the brain to immediately provide relief. It is built on the foundation of TENS, which stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. Essentially, if there are no signals that alert the brain of pain, then the body will also not feel the pain either. It also is designed to be small and can be worn discreetly.
