I have been diagnosed with endo and had the scope with laser to remove the cells a year ago. I’ve been using bc as a hormone therapy for a long time.

I really like hot water bottles, but you have to drop a lot of money on one that won't pop open. I had mine pop open while I was using it and it got boiling water all over my legs :/
