Too many of us were taught that our period pain doesn’t matter…🤔 to “deal with it,” “take another advil,” or “just get on birth control.” After years of taking this advice, most of us also know that these can’t be the only solutions. The 88% of people with ovaries reporting missed school or work (or silently struggling) from cycle symptoms makes us believe that there must be better. More effective. More natural. More long term. 

We are proud to partner with Somedays for science-backed, drug-free, period pain relief—powered by plants and loved by 100k+ people. Somedays was founded by people living with chronic pain & endometriosis, on the same mission as us to make your bad days better. 💜

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”As someone who has consistently popped Advil and other painkillers during the 2-3 most painful days of my period (especially day 1) to just get through the day and make it to work/school, I can definitely say this works. This was the first period in about 10 years where I hadn't reached for my Advil during my period.”
