A Great Travel Item You Can Pick Up in Japan

During your trip in Japan, while moving around in planes and trains, or while carrying heavy luggage, you might start to feel tension in your shoulders and lower back. You might be wondering what you can do to ease this stiffness.

Pip Company, with a history dating back 110 years, has the answer. This article is about Pip Elekiban Magneloop, a very efficient item for treating muscle stiffness, and about various situations in which it can be applied. Be sure to read the product information that is also introduced below.

Situation No.1 - Getting Off the Plane

Travelers need to ride buses, trains and airplanes to reach their destinations. After getting off the plane, fatigue can start to set in. Long hours of being stuffed in your seat will restrict blood circulation, resulting in muscle stiffness, which can the start of the trip an unpleasant one.

If you feel tension in your lower back, apply four Pip Elekibans on your back, two on each side, with the backbone in the middle.

This is Pip Elekiban 130, a staple product used to ease stiffness.

Situation No.2 - Standing in Lines

You may have to wait in line to try a special Japanese dish, which can result in pain in your shins and instep.

To ease the pain, apply three Pip Elekibans on the soles of your feet.

Avoid placing them on spots that may hurt while walking. Try applying them on the plantar arch instead.

Situation No.3 - Carrying Heavy Items

Now that you're in Japan, you might want to shop for popular items such as electric appliances and cosmetics duty-free. But carrying heavy shopping bags all day can be a serious burden on your shoulders.

To lessen the burden, apply three Pip Elekibans on both shoulders. They will gradually start working on your muscles.

Situation No.4 - Effective Even When Wet

You might wonder what will happen when the Pip Elekiban gets wet.

There is no need to worry. The Pip Elekiban patches are made from nonwoven fabric which has both elasticity and moisture permeability. The patch will not lose adhesiveness even when it gets wet, and is also gentle on the skin. This kind of unique material is used only on the Pip Elekiban. You can use them throughout your trip, so it is cost-effective as well.

Situation No.5 - Stiff Neck

You may have to rely on digital devices for navigation during your trip. But looking down and overusing your devices may cause neck stiffness too.

Wear a Pip Magneloop around your neck, and it will help your blood circulation. The photograph above shows the Pip Magneloop EX, which has a magnetic force of 150 millitesla.

These connectors make it easy to put it on and take it off.

Pip Products - The King of Drugstores

The Pip Elekiban is a famous Japanese product which boasts more than 40 years of history. But how does it actually work? The following is a guide to features of the Pip products made by MATCHA.

Magnetic Powers

Modern lifestyle tends to cause tension in your neck, shoulders and lower back. The tension pressures the blood vessels, resulting in muscle stiffness. Pip Elekiban uses magnetic force to ease the tension, which results in better blood circulation. The products are chemical-free, which means they are safe to wear for long periods of time.

There are four product types: Pip Elekiban 80, Pip Elekiban 130, Pip Elekiban M and Pip Elekiban MAX 200. The number after each product indicates the magnetic flux density. Larger numbers means that the magnetic force is stronger.

Pip Elekiban 80

The magnetic flux density is relatively low, so this product is recommended for first-time users.

Pip Elekiban 130

This is the most popular Elekiban, with a moderate magnetic flux density. This type is recommended for those who have to stay seated for long hours.
