We offer information regarding menopause symptoms and potential relief options on our website to help you better understand menopause, However, for professional menopause advice you should always contact your medical practitioner.
The specifics of how LaBalance works is still a mystery. But trials have indicated there may be a relationship between magnetism and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
There are certain things you can do to help the discomfort of hot flushes, including dressing in layers so these can be removed when you experience a hot flush. Also, carrying a portable fan to help cool you down and avoiding alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine and cigarettes. However, magnetic therapy may be the answer, with many LaBalance users claiming that their hot flushes disappear altogether when wearing their device.
Perimenopause is the time that starts before menopause when ovaries reduce the production of oestrogen (the hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle) but before menopause, the time that periods stop completely. Perimenopause can be signified by its own symptoms and typically occurs in the early to mid 40s, however it may start earlier.
Of course, we are firm believers that magnetic therapy is one of if not the best alternative therapies to using HRT during menopause. With that said, there are a number of other options which may help in conjunction with wearing your LaBalance magnet device. Such as regular exercise, yoga, hypnotherapy and/or herbal remedies.
At Sassy La Femme, perimenopausal users of our LaBalance magnetic therapy device claim relief from some, or all, of their perimenopausal symptoms.
You can read our shining testimonials! This is the best evidence you could have to show the LaBalance magnet really does work for so many. Hearing it from real women who have used, or who are still using it. Trials have indicated 7 out of 10 women experience some, or total relief from a wide range of symptoms.
Magnetic therapy is a safe, drug free, easy to use everyday option – with no known side effects. Our users share their stories of relief from a wide range of the most common 18 PMT and 34 menopause symptoms in their testimonials.
Absolutely! At least, it has for us and many more of our customers. Though we cannot guarantee that this holistic form of treatment will benefit you in the same way it has others, it has the potential to significantly alleviate menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, joint pain and many more.
Premenstrual tension (PMT) or, as it’s more commonly known, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), causes emotional and physical changes in your body for a day or more, up to two weeks, before your period starts. Our users have shared their stories of how, as well as relieving menopausal symptoms, LaBalance also relieves their PMS symptoms.
It goes without saying that maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is effective in reducing some menopausal symptoms. However, magnet therapy may also be effective in relieving an array of menopausal symptoms for many women.
The predominant treatment offered for menopause is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However there are a number of alternatives to HRT, such as acupuncture, yoga, herbal remedies and hypnotherapy. One alternative which has been testified by many to work for them is magnetic therapy. Trials have indicated it may help the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to minimize various menopausal symptoms.
For hundreds of years, magnet therapy has been used to treat different types of pain, such as joint pain and headaches (two common symptoms of menopause). Testimonials from our customers share their relief from other physiological and emotional symptoms, such as stress, insomnia and loss of libido, and all kinds of menopausal symptoms. Best of all, with no side effects.
Whilst there are certain things that you can do to try relieve feelings of nausea, such as eating small meals throughout the day consisting of bland foods, drinking plenty of water and ensuring you get enough fresh air. Wearing LaBalance may be a solution to more sustainable results in relieving PMT or menopausal nausea.
The safest non-medical menopause treatment options to try will be holistic options that have no risk of side effects. These can vary depending on symptoms experienced. Magnetic therapy such as LaBalance, is championed by many of our users as safe for relieving some or all of their symptoms.
It’s so easy, and you’ll forget you’ve even got it on! The device has two parts, a large magnetic curved disc, and a smaller directional device. Just pull the two sections apart and place the larger disc onto the inside of your underwear, (thong, knickers, G string etc.,) next to your body. The other smaller disc places onto the outside of your underwear so the two parts are held firm. Ideally the device should sit 4” from your belly button in any direction.
Do the same at night if you wear underwear but we know not everyone does. So, instead, connect the two parts and placing the larger one against your body and the smaller facing outwards and tape the pair directly to your skin. Always include the small, round button because it’s the important bit as this piece directs the magnetism.
In the shower, you could wear a wound protection patch because they’re shower proof (many high street Chemists stock these) or just take it off during showering and put it back afterwards.
Of course! Wearing the device should not affect any activity. Quite the contrary. One word of warning, you may prefer to remove the device before swimming as it might become irretrievably lost in the water.
Wear the device for the full, three-month period.
Anecdotally many women using the device tell us they start to feel the benefits within 48 hours onwards. Whereas others report feeling much improved by the end of three months.
We’d say to get the best out of your LaBalance it’s really important to wear it 24/7 for a full three months. But if it is not helping you, we offer a 100% no quibble, money back guarantee. Simply return the device, in its original packaging with your receipt, within 90 days of purchase.
Your LaBalance is a strong little device it’s really robust! All the seams are ultrasonically welded, and this ensures it is waterproof. We’ve even had reports of it surviving washing machine accidents but try and avoid them.
The device should not lose its magnetism within 2 years as minimum, however, external influences can impact on its magnetic performance.
Post hysterectomy users claim LaBalance has helped reduce their symptoms.
Perimenopause is the transitional period before a woman becomes fully menopausal. During this stage, it’s entirely normal for periods to be erratic and once a woman hasn’t had a period for a full twelve months, she’s considered as fully menopausal. We’ve created a dedicated section all about the perimenopause to help you.
Wearers tell us they have find LaBalance to help at all stages of menopause.
The device has no reported side effects, but of course ask your medical practitioner if you would like their advice. Since first lunched over 15 years ago, there has been no reported adverse effects on breast, cervical or uterine health.
Yes – you can still use LaBalance whilst on HRT. If you decide to stop taking HRT, please consult with your doctor first. We are not advocating LaBalance as a direct alternative to HRT. Some customers feel well enough to only use the device, but others use both. They do not conflict.
Yes, no problem, just visit our online shop here to get a replacement.
Our Advice with any serious or other medical condition, or concern, is to contact your GP or medical healthcare professional for advice.
We know of no detrimental effects from using the LaBalance with pacemakers or defibrillators. If you wear a pacemaker you will have been advised to take care when in close with microwaves, mobile phones and security scanners because they emit an alternating magnetic pole that can interrupt performance. However, LaBalance works differently because it emits a static, negative pole which has a different sphere of influence. However, we can also tell you many of our LaBalance customers wear pacemakers and to date, we haven’t received one single report of any adverse effects.
Yes. You can wear a Mirena coil or copper coil with LaBalance. We’ve had phone calls from customers saying they were so delighted with the results of LaBalance helping their period symptoms that they decided to remove their Mirena coil!
I have a metal implant, will the LaBalance by Sassy La Femme affect it or cause an allergy/flare up an existing allergy?
LaBalance is encased within a plastic shell with ultrasonically welded seams. So, it shouldn’t have any detrimental effect on allergies, nor should it cause any allergies. As far as metal implants, which are mostly titanium, they are non-magnetic so there shouldn’t be any issues. As always, if in doubt please check with your medical healthcare professional.
Plenty of women have told us they keep wearing their device long after their symptoms have stopped. There’s no evidence of harm in continuing to wear LaBalance.
Yes, you can fly, wearing your device. However, you might want to remove it and pop it into your hand luggage before entering security checks because the scanners will detect it. While the majority of airport security staff are aware of LaBalance, it might save you embarrassment if you simply take it off and replace it once you’re through security.
I’ve got a red mark on my skin just underneath where my LaBalance device is…
It’s rare – but it can happen! If you’ve developed a red mark in your pelvic area, don’t worry, it’s usually simply because increased blood-flow just under the skin. It should disappear as your body adjusts to wearing it, and if the area’s a little sensitive, this too should disappear. If not, you will need to stop using and return it under out no quibble money back 90-day guarantee.
We receive many queries about using the LaBalance device with other treatments. Of course, we want you to be safe and we can confirm it is completely safe to use with the following:
Metal implants.
Mirena coils
Copper coils
It is also safe for breast cancer patients, during treatment and post-treatment. Should you have any questions about the safety of using LaBalance, please do not hesitate to contact your GP or health care professional.
Yes, it’s possible because as you approach menopause your periods become lighter and more irregular, eventually stopping entirely. This is the perimenopause phase; you reach menopause once you’ve stopped having periods for 12 months.
The LaBalance device will not interfere with your menstrual cycle, so it is possible to still have periods when using a LaBalance and even spot or bleed if you’re recently menopausal. Spotting can occur on rare occasions within the first 12 months after your periods stop.
As always if you are worried about any changes, please consult your GP or healthcare professional.
Progesterone is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle. It plays an important role in the menstrual cycle. Heavy and irregular bleeding is a consequence of a natural reduction of progesterone and a symptom of the transition to menopause (and also perimenopause).
Users have told us it can help with these symptoms and reduce the blood loss. As always if you are worried about any changes, please consult your GP or healthcare professional.
We have customers who claim their waning libido has returned. In most cases, a lower libido during menopause is due to decreased hormone levels in particular natural phytoestrogens. These decreased hormone levels in turn lead to vaginal dryness and tightness, which can cause pain during sexual intercourse. Menopause symptoms can also make you less interested in sex.
With reference to bloating, many thrilled customers tell us that after using LaBalance for several weeks, they no longer suffer with bloating, and a few tell us they have even lost weight!
Yes – it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are, any woman can wear it
Sometimes, it might feel like it’s no longer working and that can be due to a variety of factors. Factors such as issues causing stress (family, finance, health), or other medical events impacting on your normal health systems.
Whilst you may not know the cause, we strongly suggest removing the LaBalance device just for 21 days. During that time, your body should return to its pre-LaBalance status. At the end of 21 days wear your LaBalance device as if for the first time and it should respond as it did the first time.
Your device is powered by magnets which are extremely robust.
A magnet gets its field when microscopic magnetic areas, called domains, line up in the same direction. When the domains cooperate, the magnet’s field is the sum of all the microscopic fields in it. If the domains fall into disorder, the individual fields cancel out, leaving the magnet weaker.
No magnet is completely permanent. Heat, sharp impacts, stray magnetic fields and other magnet influences can all rob a magnet of its magnetic field, so the device itself is no longer effective.
