TIPS FOR USING YOUR MARVALAX

USING THE MARVALAX

  • If you have sensitive feet, use the lowest intensity to avoid discomfort. Additionally, you may choose to wear socks during use.

  • Foot massage can have a stimulating effect and prevent sleep, so it’s best not to use the Marvalax right before bedtime.
