Who doesn’t love a little magic, especially when it comes with a side of self-care. That’s exactly what Masdel’s Magic Bag has been for more than three decades. Designed and manufactured in Montreal, the distinctly Canadian company has recently added a new bag to its magical lineup: the new Maxi Compact size.
Like all the magic in its repertoire, this new bag embraces the brand’s approach to wellness with its practical, thoughtful and natural solutions. The hot and cold compress is filled with organic grains that retain heat and cold naturally. When warmed up in the microwave, the bag delivers deep, comforting heat that relaxes muscles and encourages circulation; when chilled in the freezer, it offers soothing cold therapy that helps calm inflammation and tension.
With its triangular shape, the Maxi Compact rests easily across our lower abdomen or pelvis, making it ideal for menstrual cramps, bloating, lower back pain, headaches and/or post-workout soreness. Thanks to its compact size, we can pop it into our purse and take it with us anywhere too, like to the office, to girl’s night at our besties’ house, out for dinner even… Using it is effortless as well. All we have to do is heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds for its cozy, soothing warmth or store it in the freezer for a couple of hours before pulling it out and using it (usually across our forehead) for a cooling reset. The soft cotton cover is gentle on our skin, while the grain-filled interior molds to our body without stiffness or bulk.
And it doesn’t need to be plugged in or recharged. In a world of over-engineered wellness, this little bag of magic is refreshingly simple and effective.
