Menstruation Pops are designed for the not-so-fun parts of having a period: the cramping, tension, and overall discomfort that ibuprofen only partially touches. We include CBD because it may help ease cramping, calm the nervous system, and take the edge off the physical and emotional intensity that comes with your cycle. Delivered vaginally, it gets to work faster and more directly than anything you'd swallow.

Menstruation Pops are formulated for local use and don't contain ingredients known to interfere with birth control. If you have questions about your specific contraceptive method, your healthcare provider is the right person to ask as they know your full health picture.

We recommend starting with one Pop per day. If you're not feeling the relief you're looking for after about 30 minutes, a second Pop is fine. As always, listen to your body and if you have any concerns, check with your healthcare provider.

No. Lādē Pops contain CBD, not THC. CBD does not produce a high. Our Menstruation formula contains only trace levels of THC, below the federal legal threshold of 0.3%, and not enough to cause any psychoactive effect. What CBD may do is help ease tension, modulate discomfort, and support your body through your cycle. All delivered directly where you need it most.

Menstrual cramps are caused by prostaglandins, compounds that trigger uterine contractions and can make your cycle genuinely debilitating. Menstruation Pops deliver CBD and Ayurvedic botanicals directly to the vagina where they may help calm tension, modulate discomfort, and support your body through the intensity of your cycle. No hormones, no NSAIDs, and no waiting for something you swallowed to kick in.

Yes, and more than most people realize. Vaginal pH, discharge, and sensitivity all shift naturally with hormonal fluctuations throughout your cycle. Cervical mucus becomes clear and stretchy around ovulation; dryness and sensitivity may increase in the luteal phase leading up to your period. These changes are normal. Menstruation Pops are formulated to work with your body at its most sensitive point in the cycle, supporting comfort and balance right when you need it most.

Painful periods are common but debilitating ones shouldn't be accepted as inevitable. If cramping regularly interferes with your daily life, persists outside of menstruation, or feels severe, it's worth a conversation with your healthcare provider. Conditions like endometriosis and PCOS can take 5-7 years to diagnose because women are told their pain is normal when it isn't.

We take this seriously. Endometriosis and complex menstrual conditions are at the heart of why we built Lādē and it's a community we're deeply committed to.

No. Lādē Pops are completely hormone-free and that's intentional. Perimenopause Pops are formulated with CBD and Ayurvedic botanicals that work with your body as it transitions, without introducing or influencing hormones. For women navigating perimenopause who aren't ready for or interested in hormone therapy, that distinction matters. As always, if you have specific concerns about your health or current medications, your healthcare provider is the right resource.

Perimenopause Pops contain two formulas in one tin because perimenopause is two things at once. Use one Pop from the Menstruation strip nightly for the three days before your period. Use a Menopause Pop as needed for moisture, libido support, or mood – whenever your body is asking for it. Insert using a clean finger or applicator, and wear a panty liner or period panties if desired.

We formulated the Menopause strip in your Perimenopause tin with exactly those goals in mind. Alongside CBD, we chose two Ayurvedic and botanical ingredients with deep roots in women's wellness: Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus), traditionally used in Ayurveda to support female reproductive health, moisture, and libido; and Black Cohosh (Actaea Racemosa), long studied for its potential to support mood and ease the physical discomforts of hormonal transition. Together with CBD, they may promote a sense of calm, receptivity, and comfort that's delivered directly where your body needs it most.

Because perimenopause is two things at once we formulated accordingly. Your Perimenopause tin contains two strips, each with CBD working toward a different purpose.

The Menstruation strip includes CBD for its potential to ease cramping, calm the nervous system, and take the edge off the physical and emotional intensity that comes with your cycle because periods in perimenopause can be unpredictable.

The Menopause strip includes CBD alongside Shatavari and Black Cohosh to support moisture, comfort, and a sense of calm and receptivity which addresses the vaginal and emotional shifts that come with declining estrogen.

Two formulas in one tin — because perimenopause is two things at once.

Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. It can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years and typically begins in a woman's 40s, though it can start earlier. Menopause itself is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

During perimenopause, cycles become irregular and symptoms can include hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, changes in libido, and shifts in how your body responds to stress. No two experiences are alike: some women sail through it, others find it significantly disruptive.

As estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate during perimenopause, ovulation becomes less predictable and your cycle follows suit. You may notice periods that are longer or shorter than usual, heavier or lighter flow, more cramping, or cycles that skip entirely. Spotting between periods is also common. All of this is your body responding to shifting hormone levels, not a sign that something is wrong.

That said, unusually heavy or prolonged bleeding (soaking through a pad or tampon every hour, or bleeding that lasts longer than 7 days) is worth a conversation with your healthcare provider. So is any bleeding that occurs after menopause has been established.

In the meantime, Menstruation Pops are formulated for exactly this kind of unpredictability by supporting your body through cycles that no longer follow the rules and the in-between times that feel...different.

As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause, the vaginal tissue becomes thinner, less elastic, and less naturally lubricated. This can cause dryness, irritation, discomfort during sex, and increased sensitivity. The thinning of vaginal tissue also disrupts the natural pH balance, which can make women more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Vaginal dryness and its related effects tend to persist and can worsen over time without support.

The good news is there are options and not all of them involve hormones. Lādē Menopause Pops are formulated specifically for this: CBD, Shatavari, and Black Cohosh delivered vaginally to support moisture, soothe tissue, and address discomfort directly at the source.

If symptoms are significantly impacting your quality of life, your healthcare provider can help you explore the full range of options including vaginal estrogen therapy.

Yes and you're far from alone. Changes in libido during perimenopause are incredibly common and almost universally underreported because women are still not encouraged to talk about their sex lives openly, let alone when hormones are making things complicated.

The causes are layered. Declining estrogen and testosterone levels directly affect sexual desire. Vaginal dryness and tissue thinning can make sex uncomfortable or painful, which creates its own cycle of avoidance. Add in disrupted sleep, mood shifts, and the general weight of midlife and it's not surprising that desire takes a hit.

It isn't something you just have to accept. Lādē Menopause Pops are formulated with CBD, Shatavari, and Black Cohosh, botanicals with a long history of supporting female desire, moisture, and receptivity. Addressing the physical side of the equation is often the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

It's always worth a discussion with your healthcare provider to explore the full picture of options that, thankfully, are continuing to advance.

Yes, it's completely normal and for good reason. The hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause directly affect sleep quality, often causing night sweats, difficulty falling asleep, or waking in the early hours. Add in the mood shifts and the physical demands of a body in transition, and fatigue starts to feel less like a symptom and more like a constant companion.

The connection between sleep, stress, and hormonal health is real and cyclical. Most of us recognize that poor sleep amplifies mood changes, which then disrupts sleep further. Supporting your body through this transition means addressing that cycle, not just pushing through it.

Lādē Pops won't solve everything but they're designed to support your body at its most vulnerable points in the cycle, so you can start to feel like yourself – or a new version of you again.
