Abstract
A method to relieve menstrual cramping which includes the step of placing one or more symmetrical tapered pads having an inner and outer side, each outer side being semi-rigid and each inner side being flexible and compressible. The outer side of each pad is affixed to one or more straps having a first and corresponding second end. A fastener is connected so to attach the first end of each strap to a corresponding second fastener at the second end of each strap as an additional step. The apparatus also includes a constricting device (such as a ratchet) located on or proximate to one pad sufficient to create a compression force through each strap when the first and corresponding second fasteners connect to one another.

A method for relieving menstrual cramping, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning one or more pads proximate greater trochanters on lateral sides of a torso of a user;
- affixing the one or more pads to one or more straps, wherein each of the one or more straps has a first end and a second end at an opposite portion of the one or more straps;
- connecting the first end and the second end of each of the one or more straps, wherein the connecting provides sufficient pressure for holding the one or more pads against the torso of the user;
- and
- applying pressure to the one or more pads, wherein the pressure is applied through a constricting means.
