(SPOT.ph) Ladies, we can all agree that period pain—or dysmenorrhea, in medical terms—is the worst. For about one out of ten people who experience it, breakups don't even come close to that once-a-month pain that has you doubled over. There are those who take pain relievers or sleep it off—but if doing so isn't enough, or you just want to go all out for comfort during those sensitive days, heat packs or patches are the answer. Check out this one we spotted on Lazada that can help ease unbearable menstrual pain as you go about your day-to-day activities.

Check out these heat patches for menstrual pain from Lazada:
The Herborn Herbal Heat Relief Patch from Medi Heally will stick with you, quite literally, through difficult times. It provides heat (minimum 53 degrees, maximum 65 degrees heating effect) therapy that helps to "relax muscular constriction" and "ease shooting pain" in the lower abdomen. All you have to do is to stick it on your innerwear or underwear (nope, not on your skin), perfect for when you're going to work or for an errand. Among the herbs used in the patch are lavender and chamomile, so you know you're in it for the most relaxing time before, during, and even after your period.
It's small and thin enough to fit in your pouches. The heat lasts for more than six hours. If not for period pain, just keep it by yourself at all times in case you need a little warmth. One box has three patches for P200.
No matter what certain people, particularly those without a uterus, for some reason, say about the matter, there are times when period pain just gets too much to bear. Here's hoping these heat patches offer some form of relief while we wait on the menstrual leave bill currently on the slate.
The Herborn Herbal Heat Relief Patch is available on Lazada.
