B-12 patches help with some symptoms during menopause

B-12 Patch Makes it Easy

Has your doctor indicated you may be at risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency, or have you even started vitamin B-12 injections? Our B-12 patch may be right for you.

One patch worn behind the ear for 24 hours can provide your body with a week’s dosage of vitamin B-12.

Where should the patch be placed?

Apply one B12 Patch to a clean and dry area of the skin either behind the ear lobe on the neck, or on the inside of the wrist where the pulse is taken.

Will my hospital give me a pocket binder?

Will my hospital give me a pocket binder?

You can get the Pocket Abdominal Binder only from the Hysterectomy Store. 

This question, also, gives us a chance to tell you the history behind this special binder. The Hysterectomy Store (previously named HysterSisters Store) has sold binders almost 20 years. Back in those days we found a product we called the Belly Band – that was a band with a gel inside that was activated with water. Although it was nicely cold for tender bellies, it was also wet! And so, we determined to find a way to give women the benefit of the binder while also adding a cold pack for the benefits of cold (or warm!) against incisions and overall tender, sore tummy without the wet factor.

In developing a prototype, we actually took one of our specially designed binders – and added a pocket – sewing it on Kathy’s (founder of HysterSisters) kitchen table. Wa-la! We ended up having to redesign the shape of the 6″ binder slightly for the pocket binder – because of the added shape of the pocket with the ice pack – and it worked! Then we called the manufacturer and sent the prototype to them. “Yes,” they said. They could produce them. A few trial and errors later, we had the pocket binder in stock – and we named it the Perfect Pocket Abdominal binder – because, well, we think its perfect!

Easy Wear for After Hysterectomy

Lounge around in the hospital or at home after your hysterectomy! Throw on some leggings and take a walk.  Our pretty Wear Around goes practically anywhere.

Does “One Size” really fit all?
Probably not. We would suggest “one size” fits most. If you are on the small end or the fluffier end of the size spectrum, this shirt may not be for you.

What is the best way to launder this shirt?
This shirt is made from 100% cotton. This means that you should wash is in cool/warm water and hang to dry or tumble dry light. Because it is made from 100% cotton, be aware it can shrink slightly through the laundering process.
