How do I wear LaBalance by Sassy La Femme?

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.

Can I wear LaBalance if I’m pregnant?

We do not advise wearing it if you are pregnant. Although we know of no long-term side effects to adults wearing LaBalance we do not know if magnetism could affect an unborn foetus in any way.

Can I wear LaBalance if I’m trying to get pregnant?

We know of no long-term side effects to adults wearing LaBalance and we do not know if magnetism would hinder or help conception. Please consult your GP if you wish to continue to wear LaBalance whilst trying to conceive.

My periods have stopped while on LaBalance by Sassy La Femme, is this normal?

It’s possible that as you approach menopause your periods become lighter and more irregular, before eventually stopping entirely.  This is the perimenopause phase; you reach menopause once you’ve stopped having periods for 12 months.

However, if you are concerned about this or any other changes, please consult your GP or healthcare professional.

Is it normal to bleed during use of LaBalance by Sassy La Femme?

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.

What about having irregular bleeding – or heavy bleeding?

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.

Can LaBalance by Sassy La Femme help give my sex life a boost?

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.

Can LaBalance by Sassy La Femme be worn by women of any size or weight?

Yes – it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are, any woman can wear it

Why has my LaBalance device stopped working?

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.

How strong is LaBalance?

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.

Are there any other LaBalance by Sassy La Femme products?
