To Clean Cuterus:

Do not immerse plushie or heat pack in water, or wash in a washing machine. 

Do not wash the inner heat pack. 

  1. To clean your plushie, surface wash only with damp cloth or sponge.
  2. Lay flat to dry.

Why Cuterus Works

Does heat really help period cramps? It can! Research has shown a consistent reduction in menstrual pain when heat therapy is used. (1) 

Cramps are caused by the uterus contracting, and using heat on your abdomen or lower back can naturally increase the blood flow to the area. Increased blood flow can reduce muscle tension and relax the abdominal muscles, which can relieve the pain associated with menstrual cramps. 

The heat pack in our plushie is made with tourmaline beads, which can provide 20-30 minutes of therapeutic heat and can hold heat for up to 40 minutes. The heat pack can be reheated again and again!
