“The best part? The instant cooling effect, which felt sooooo good – almost like putting Vaporub on my stomach.”

These Work. Period.

I’ve struggled with painful periods since I was 13. Going on birth control helped a little, but I’d say I still lose several days a year to awful cramps – having to miss work, cancel plans, and just lie on the couch, clutching a hot water bottle for dear life.

I hate relying on over-the-counter drugs to manage my discomfort. Partly because it doesn’t feel safe. One time I took too much Advil during my period and ended up with a stomach ulcer – but that’s a story for another time. Midol worked intermittently for me, but I generally like to be drug-free if possible. So I was BEYOND thrilled to find the Cycle patches – a 100% natural solution that I could peel on and off as needed. 

I received my first order in the throes of super painful cramping, so I immediately put them to work. I found the patch very easy to apply and so comfortable, I forgot I was wearing it after a few minutes. The best part? The instant cooling effect, which felt sooooo good – almost like putting Vaporub on my stomach.

And this thing literally knocked out my cramps for 8 hours! (It claims to last up to 12 hours, but I’ve never needed it for that long – if I do, I will test and report back!) I’m a fan for life – or at least until I stop getting periods!**

**Apparently, these work well for hot flashes during menopause, so I guess I have that to look forward to! 

My period cramps are way more manageable – and I no longer have to miss work!”

So, What’s In The Patches? 

Think you need a bunch of drugs or complex ingredients to treat your cramps? You don’t! 

Cycle patches have only two active ingredients, and they’re both derived from plants: 

• 5% Menthol – a naturally-occurring chemical in mint; provides cooling relief 
• Black Cohosh – a flowering plant used for centuries by Native Americans; helps ease discomfort, especially during your menstrual cycle and menopause 

I had never worn a patch before and didn’t understand how they worked, so I was initially worried about somehow getting too much of the ingredients in my body – effectively overdosing – but that’s not a thing! Firstly, because these patches are 100% natural and drug-free. And secondly, because the plant-based ingredients are released slowly and continuously, for controlled relief. You can also take off your patch whenever you want! 

I love that the Cycle patches are a super safe alternative to Midol, Advil, and certainly any more-hardcore pain medication. And they work just as well, if not better! 

No More Sick Days

Now that I have Cycle in my arsenal, my period cramps are way more manageable – and I no longer have to miss work! If you’ve struggled with debilitating cramps, you know that’s major.
