Ok... this is an odd one that might make some of you uncomfortable... apologies.
But, if you, or a loved one needs this, it can literally be a life-saver, or at the very least, a HUGE pain reliever.
So, a loved one of mine just got stomach surgery. If you've ever heard of, or been thru this type of surgery, you'll know they pump your body cavity full of CO2 to spread things out for the surgery. Afterwards, whatever gas they couldn't get out (sometimes it's a LOT), your body has to absorb and .... expel. Yes, that means burping and farting. But, if your abdomen has just been operated on, you have no way to push. It's too painful. And the gas build-up can become overwhelming. The pain of it building for days can be extreme.
So, at her hospital bed, I said, I can fix this when we get home. And within 2 hrs of being back home at my printer, she finally had relief. And it was amazing and instant. A little vaseline to smooth the insertion, and this becomes an instant relief valve (yes, you insert it in your anus). It worked so well, she slept with it for 2 days. Her stomach was empty anyway... just gas.
I debated publishing this for days.... but seriously, if you're in her boat, or know someone that is, you will find this to be a god-send.
If you or a loved one finds this to be as amazing as we did, please let me know. :o)
