“Meet period care 2.0. We’re flipping the script on the shame and the way we treat ourselves on our periods — and throughout the entire hormonal month. Our science-backed patches help relieve period cramps and get you through PMS moods. Our Soothe Me cramp relief patches are powered by all natural ingredients — menthol, black cohosh, capsaicin and lavender — to give you 8 hours of relief from period cramps and backaches,” said Elise Orthwein, co-founder of Cheeky Bonsai.

The Soothe Me Cramp Relief Patches feature a lavender scent and contain menthol for fast-acting relief, black cohosh for hormone-balancing and capsaicin for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Mood Queen Hormone Harmony Patches, which were designed to help regulate mood swings through a cycle, feature caffeine and green tea for energy; vitamin B12 to help regulate serotonin; chasteberry to aid in easing mood swings; and ashwagandha to reduce stress.

“They provide fast-acting, targeted relief and can be used anytime throughout the month," Orthwein said. "Our Mood Queen hormone harmony patches help regulate mood swings and give you a boost whenever you need some extra support throughout your monthly cycle. Caffeine, green tea and ashwagandha work together to give you a calm energy boost. Vitamin B12 helps to regulate serotonin and chasteberry helps ease mood swings."
