The Gift of #ahhh with the #HemoclinComfortKit Giveaway

Before you all go getting excited, this is not a pregnancy announcement! I am happy just being a kitty mom, and even more so now after hearing that hemorrhoids are a often a regular part of pregnancy.  In my head, most cases of hemorrhoids are an issue for old men who need to sit on plastic donut rings.  Shows how much I know.  I turned to some friends who are pregnant or recent moms and asked ‘really, hemorrhoids?’

After they had finished laughing at my cluelessness about all the nasty side effects of pregnancy (that took a while) this is what they had to say:

I never knew what a hemorrhoid was till I had my first. I didn’t have a clue, I was suffering and crying every time I went to the bathroom. Eventually, I went the the doctor and got a script that cured them in a few days.

You try carrying around a kicking bowling ball of joy and see if your insides are all still where they are meant to be afterwards.

Not only did I go through enough hemorrhoid cream to stock a pharmacy, but the baby wasn’t the only thing I pushed out in labour.

I was lucky, no hemorrhoids for me, but everyone else I know had them – one of those icky parts of pregnancy no one tells you about

Turns out that you don’t need a prescription to get safe and fast relief from your pregnancy (or regular) hemorrhoids.  HemoClin is a revolutionary product that is set on easing butt hurt for anyone dealing with hemorrhoid pain or anal discomfort.  HemoClin is a clear water-based gel that delivers no pain, no mess, and no stains – because you likely have enough laundry already and don’t need to be wasting time or good underwear on stains from other hemorrhoid creams.

HemoClin is available in most pharmacies or you can buy it online.  Since you probably don’t want your mailman knowing you have hemorrhoids, they send your HemoClin discreetly packaged.  Mine was embarrassed enough when he had to hand me a sample pack of tampons sent in a clear envelope, I can’t imagine him delivering hemorrhoid cream.

HemoClin works fast and effectively by providing a cooling relief from anal discomforts. This is achieved with a patented 2QR complex Bio-Active blocker derived from the Aloe Vera plant that works with the body’s natural bacteria.  We all know how much Aloe Vera can ease a sunburn, imagine that cooling effect down there!  This is how HemoClin works:

  • Blocks Harmful Bacteria:  The patented 2QR complex Bio-Active ingredient acts to block the further invasion, and development, of your butt’s harmful bacteria by binding itself to the active bacteria. Reducing your butt’s harmful bacterial load helps accelerate a smooth, natural, and uninterrupted healing process.
  • Cools:  “Ahhhh… just feel that instant cooling relief”! When you’re suffering from butt hurt, that’s just what you want to hear! The easy-to-use applicator targets the site of discomfort directly, using Aloe Vera plant-based properties, HemoClin instantly cools the area without cortisone or local anesthetics .
  • Lubricates:  A diffusion nozzle on the applicator targets your hemorrhoids directly. HemoClin’s gel fully lubricates anal tissues, so you can pass stools more easily, with less strain.  All while avoiding further irritation to your butt’s hurtin’-most areas. This allows the healing process to proceed naturally and uninterrupted.

You can also help ease the pain by drinking lots of water, eating a high fibre diet to help it all move and moving around, because those hemorrhoids hurt when you sit on them and you are putting more pressure on the veins in the anus and rectum that swell causing hemorrhoids.
