Menstrual pain is a recurring trouble for women all over the world, but many of them don’t want to use artificial pain relievers for a week every month. Over-the-counter medications can eventually lead to stomach issues, cardiovascular problems, or kidney disease, and it’s not recommended to take them regularly. There are some natural solutions — ginger, yoga, heat pads, etc. — but these only provide short-term relief and may not be fully effective.
Interestingly, cannabidiol (CBD) is emerging as a new treatment for the pain associated with menstrual cycles. CBD may be able to help with cramps, aches, endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and more. It is not completely new as a pain management product, but CBD-infused tampons are now emerging as a potential targeted treatment for period pain.
The results were very promising. Researchers found that people who used CBD-infused tampons instead of a placebo saw significantly less menstrual pain on day two of their cycles. The pain continued diminishing throughout people’s periods, and participants reported a 40% decrease in vaginal dryness with CBD-infused tampons.

Roughly the same percentage of participants noticed an increase in their moods and overall well-being. An astonishing 80% found using CBD-infused tampons to be a satisfactory or enjoyable experience compared to regular tampons.
This study is further evidence of the efficacy of CBD for period pain, although more studies will be needed before these products hit shelves. Fortunately, these are happening more frequently. Research published in Frontiers in Immunologyfound that CBD can reduce inflammation that causes breast pain and bloating during periods. Additionally, CBD has proven helpful in treating nausea, anxiety, and hormonal fluctuations.
The Future of CBD and Period Pain
CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system on CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are present within the uterus. Unlike recreational or medical cannabis products, however, it does not induce psychoactive effects and get people high.
Since it is a natural product, it doesn’t have many of the short and long-term side effects associated with over-the-counter pain relievers. It can be used for long periods without any drawbacks. CBD has additional bonuses in helping with sleep, chronic pain, mood disorders, and more.
It may be some time before CBD-infused tampons hit shelves, but it gives women worldwide something to look forward to. As products improve with testing, they may become even more effective at reducing pain and discomfort during menstrual cycles. For now, women can try tinctures, topicals, edibles, vapes, and other forms of CBD for pain relief.
