A band that employs low voltage resistance wire (11) to provide heat for the purpose of relieving the pain and discomfort caused by menstrual cramps. It is wrapped around the hip/lower abdominal area of the body and velcro (1, 2) is used to hold it in place. In addition to the velcro, elastic materials (7) enable the abdominal heat band to have an adjustable size so that it is able to fit both large and small individuals. Elastic also helps provide a snug fit allowing the user to effectively conceal the band beneath their clothing if desired. A remote control (3), which also houses the battery, controls the power and intensity of the heat. The remote is detachable from the band which allows the band to be washed without risk of getting the remote control wet.
