Period Pain
Cramp bark is a natural muscle relaxer that works within minutes for me. Sometimes it's better than ibuprofen at managing my horrific endometriosis period cramps, and it works SO FAST.
Cramp Bark Liquid Herbal Extract - Herb Pharm
A homeopathic that significantly decreases my heavy bleeding, and also decreases the severity of my cramps. I use it every single month.
Boiron Sabina 30C Homeopathic
This is the TENS unit I've used for years to interrupt contraction-like period cramps.
TechCare Plus 24 TENS Unit
I use this as a more affordable alternative to the popular Somedays cream. The main ingredient - Arnica - is the same!
Boiron Arnicare Arnica Pain Relief Gel
I keep these in my purse, in my car, by my bed, in my backpack, in my bathroom… I love that they don't have EMFs (like portable heating pads do).
ThermaCare Menstrual Pain Therapy
With heavy bleeding, it can feel impossible to get clean... unless you have a peri bottle!
Frida Peri Bottle
I've had Bucky heating pads for years. They LAST and they don't have any weird smells that trigger my MCAS.

My naturopath gave this to me to use instead of ibuprofen. I'm not sure if it works for me yet, but it's an option to try if you're curious.
Thorne Phytoprofen
The only organic pads I've tried that can handle my heavy periods and clotting.

My pick for non-toxic liners.
Natracare Ultra Thin Organic Liners
Clean ingredients, works for lighter flow days.

Natracare Organic & Natural Ultra Extra Pads Super
Epsom salt to increase magnesium levels and decreases muscle cramping.
Equate Epsom Salt, Magnesium Sulfate, 128 oz (8lb), Unscented
Painful Intimacy
This does have some questionable ingredients. But it's the only lube I haven't reacted to. It's the same one my pelvic floor PT has in her office.
Slippery Stuff Water-based Jelly
I do not get any kind of affiliate kickback from sharing this product! It just changed my life and took intimacy from impossible to possible.
Ohnut Depth-Limiting Rings
My pelvic floor physical therapist insisted on getting these. I had another, cheaper, set before and these are definitely way better.
Full Vaginal Dilator Set 8 Sizes
General Pelvic Pain
I took this vaginal microbiome test after going through test after test, and even surgeries, with doctors... and still not having answers. The Evvy test told me that I had conditions that standard doctors-office tests weren't sensitive enough to dete...
