Product Information
The Femmely GO is a device designed to relieve menstrual pain and
discomfort. It utilizes low-frequency electric currents to provide therapy and
has 6 massage modes with specific pulse frequencies, lengths, and intensities
suitable for its intended use. The device works by transmitting electric
impulses to nerves or muscle fibers through electrodes, which helps halt pain
signals and activate the body’s natural pain control response. This in turn
releases beta endorphins to ease the pain felt by the user. The Femmely GO is
intended for use by women aged 16 and above.
Product Usage Instructions
- Before using the Femmely GO, carefully read all the instructions in the user manual and keep it safe for future reference.

Device Instruction
Thank you for purchasing Femmely GO period pain relief. The Femmely GO is
designed to relieve menstrual pain and discomfort.
Intended Users
The Femmely GO should be used only by a woman aged 16 and above.
Principle of Operation
Before using, please read all the instructions in the user manual carefully and keep it safe for future use. The Femmely GO has 6 massage modes and applies electric currents in the low-frequency range for therapy. Each program was designed with a specific pulse frequency, pulse length, and intensity, that are suitable for its intended use. The parameters for each mode are listed below. Based on the stimulation of the body’s natural pulses, the mechanism of electrical stimulation equipment is to create electric impulses that are transcutaneous transmitted to nerves or muscle fibers through the electrode. When this pain signal is halted, pain is not felt by the reactive area and the patient gets relief. Low-frequency bursts of mild electrotherapy also help activate the natural pain control response, releasing beta- endorphins that ease the pain felt by the patient.
Medical Background
About Pain
menstrual colic for girls is an important signal in the human body’s warming
system. If suffer for a long time, girls will be in pain. Aside from its
function in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves a useless purpose.
Pain does not occur until the encoded message travels to the brain where it is
decoded, analyzed, and reacted to, from the injured area along the small
nerves leading to the spinal cord. There the message is transmitted to
different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. Then the pain
message in interpreted, referred and pain is felt.
What Is Femmely GO?
TENS(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is effective in relief of
pain. It is daily used and clinically proven by physiotherapists, caregivers
and top athletes around the world. High-frequency TENS currents activate the
pain-inhibiting mechanisms of the nervous system. Electrical impulses from
electrodes, placed on the pain area, stimulate the nerves to block the pain
signals to the brain, causing the pain go unperceived. Low-frequency TENS
currents facilitate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use
It is used for temporary relief of pain associated with soreness from
menstrual colic.
