For many girls and women, period pain can have a
negative impact on their quality of life every month. The Ova is an
exceptionally small and discreet TENS machine designed to reduce period pain
without the side effects of drugs. The Ova
is very easy to use and its small size makes it convenient to clip
it into your underwear, trousers or skirt so that you can turn it on when the
pain comes on. It is very important to allow the Ova time to work. This means that every time you choose a
new mode or position for the pads you need to allow the Ova to run for up to
thirty minutes. If after that time the relief is not sufficient then try another mode or pad
position. Some clinical trials have shown that TENS is effective and has none
of the side effects, such as nausea and drowsiness, which are commonly
associated with drugs used to relieve period pain.

Modes
The Ova ’s
three modes are displayed on the screen as A, B or C. Each mode relieves pain in a different way. It is important to
try all three modes to find out which suits you the best. It is also sensible
to change from one mode to another regularly in order to prevent your body
unduly accommodating to one particular mode.
Mode A: Mode A has a constant output that produces a tingling
sensation. It is the mode that is likely to result in the greatest pain
relief.
Mode B: Mode B also has a constant output but, due to a different
pulse width, it will feel less strong than mode A, but in fact can be
equally as effective.
Mode C: Mode C contains a burst signal and so the feeling will be
one of pulsing. This mode can have the advantage of achieving, for a time;
ongoing residual pain relief after the Ova has been switched off.
