Wahl Clipper Corp. has introduced the first wearable massage device that adheres to the body and uses massaging pulses to ease pain.

The company says it expects the Wahl Pulsing Massage Patch to benefit from the wearable technology trend in must-have gadgets.

"There’s a growing demand for natural, safe and convenient pain relief options," says Jenny McLaughlin, product manager for Wahl Therapeutic Massagers. "Whether your pain is chronic or once in a while, the wearable design of our new massaging patch is the perfect solution for people looking to feel like themselves again — quickly and easily."

The convenient, battery-powered patch covers large surface areas but can be used for pin-pointed problem areas, Wahl notes. It is available at Walgreens outlets nationwide and has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $34.99.
