If you’re a person who lives with the pain of Endometriosis, you’re probably already across author and Triple J host, Bridget Hustwaite’s book and Instagram, Endogram. If you’re not across Endogram or endometriosis, get amongst some knowledge, because chances are you know someone who lives with it.
According to Endometriosis Australia, 1 in 9 women and those assigned female at birth have endometriosis and diagnosis is often delayed by an average of 6.5 years. Thankfully, research and technology are finally catching up with the truth that many women have been living with for generations.
Bridget is a huge advocate for continuing to increase awareness about endometriosis, saying ‘People with endometriosis just want to feel seen and heard. Many of us have experienced a lot of dismissal, not only from medical professionals but our friends, family and colleagues.’
Vush is one company putting its technological know-how to use to help to mitigate the multifaceted challenges that endometriosis causes. Understanding that pleasure and pain are two sides of the same sword, they have used their personal device expertise to create the Aura, a TENS device designed to reduce pain symptoms.
Based on scientifically proven TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) technology, Aura sends micro electro currents to the body through the skin. These gentle tingles override pain signals in the nervous system, easing the debilitating effects of period pain.
With 5-hour battery life, 20 intensity levels and 6 therapy modes, curating your ideal setting on the go with Aura is easy. Plus, understanding ease of use is crucial, Vush has designed the device to attach to the body with sticky pads—no strings or wires required.
Keen to get some technology on your side (and your front, and you're back) for some pain relief? Give Aura a go, or gift it to someone you know can benefit from it for less with 25% off at the checkout when you use of the discount code ENDOGRAM.
