I was excited to try this product as I have unbearable cramps on day 1 of my period but sad to say the cream did not relieve my pain as I hoped. I woke up 4am with awful pain and used this cream only as I had no other meds available and still took me 2 hours and an ice pack before I could fall asleep again. I was so hopeful but wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with major cramps as I still needed to get up at 9 and run to the pharmacy for Midol. I think most folks it works on must have medium to mild cramping. Hopeful they release something that supports fold with severe pain.
