Lower backaches. Stiffness in my joints. Heel pain. These problems have been
torturing me for a few years. Sometimes I wonder - are these the costs of fulfilling my Mom responsibilities or the consequence of not listening to the good old advice to abstain from
bathing during the confinement days? Or could it be the result of
using epidural during my first 2 births?
A woman's health issues
I started having lower back pains since many years back especially when I
had to be on my feet for long hours as a teacher and it would worsen
during menses.
The aches started getting worse in recent years and the only way I could gain some relief was to have a 30-minute lie-down every afternoon to ease some of the pain. Even then, I would notice stiffness in my body during certain days of the month and it would get so bad that I couldn't get off the bed in the mornings unless I did a few minutes of stretching exercises in bed. The first step on the floor was usually excruciating.
I don't exercise regularly because no time (okay, this sounds like a
lazy excuse) and I find it a hassle to go for massages unless I'm absolutely in the mood to be pampered.
Whenever I go for massages, my usual massage lady will tell me that my blood circulation is poor because I have cold feet and hands and I usually have to endure through a painful, vigorous rubbing session to remove the toxins that accumulate as a lump on the left side of my hip. Oh, that rub! I would almost always be in tears after the rub.
My discovery with Aulora Pants with Kodenshi
Then came an invite from a friend who asked if I was interested to try the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi, a high-quality compression garment that is made in Japan. After reading some reviews on the pants and about the company BE International, I got a pair from her.
I was sceptical how a pair of pants can promise so many health benefits.
Testimonial sharings usually don't work on me and I prefer to place my faith in a product that is backed up by science. Nonetheless, I was willing to embark on this experiment since I was prepared to see a doctor about the pains anyway.
As a "science" person, I decided to wear the pants continuously, 24/7, from 23 May 2020 to test the efficacy of the pants. Haha, yes I didn't wash the pants until the 7th day. Fortunately, my 2nd pair of pants came after 2 weeks so I could wash one and wear the other. I continued to drink my 4 cups of instant coffee daily and all activities and diet remained the same. I also sacrificed any form of exercise to maintain a fair test.
The results surprised me!

Slimming using the pants was not my original motive but surprisingly, my waist and hips measurements did decrease. Also, I feel more energetic nowadays. That is definitely a bonus!
A few friends texted me to ask if I feel hot wearing the pants. I have worn it to K's school under a pair of tight pants and survived 6h wearing it in a non-air-conditioned classroom. It was comfortable and kept me dry despite a very humid day that day.
So what is the secret behind the Aulora Pants with Kodenshi?
The open secret is in the science behind this wearable technology! The wonders of the Aulora Pants lie in the Kodenshi fiber, a patented material that has been around for more than 25 years of history in Japan.
Using state-of-the-art technology, ultra-fine ceramic particles (diameter 0.3 micron) with 99% purity are integrated into the fiber to enhance the absorption of far infrared rays (FIR) which is the frequency of invisible light energy that is naturally generated by the sun.
Once the Kodenshi fiber touches our skin, it absorbs the body heat emitted by the wearer and the ceramic particles will reflect it back to our bodies as FIR. Far infrared rays are safe and natural and it can reach the inner layers of the skin at about 2-7 cm deep to kickstart a series of metabolic events, triggering processes in the cells.
One of the well-researched benefits of FIR is its ability to improve our blood circulation.
According to Dr Kenneth McLeod, our soleus muscles (calf muscles) act as a secondary heart and "that the cardiovascular system in the upright person should, therefore, be viewed as a two-pump system where the cardiac muscle circulates blood, and the soleus muscles return pooled blood and lymphatic fluid back to the heart."
When inadequate fluid from the lower body flows back to the heart, various symptoms such as varicose veins, swollen ankles, painful joints, weight gain and chronic fatigue will be seen.
Hence, taking care of our calf muscles is also important to help the heart circulate blood better.
With improved blood circulation, it is possible to:
- reduce fats accumulation
- reduce cellulite
- reduce varicose veins
- reduce muscle and joint pain
- reduce bloating
- reduce abdominal discomfort during menstruation
With improved blood circulation, the pants also help our body to burn more calories when we move around. It is possible to experience slimming effect while wearing the Aulora Pants as oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the cells more efficiently, while fats and body waste can be easily removed.

The ergonomic design of the pants and its unique weaving and stitching methods are also key factors to many other health benefits that wearers will enjoy (more in another post).

My overall thoughts
To be able to improve my health at any time of the day or night or place,
to be able to have more energy so that I can take better care of my family,
to be able to reduce my body ailments and slim down safely without having to rely on medicines,
it is definitely worth trying the pants.
