How to use a CBD pessary

Follow these simple steps for a comfortable and effective experience:

1. Wash your hands: Always start with clean hands to maintain intimate hygiene.
2. Get comfortable: Many women find it easiest to lie on their back with knees bent, or to stand with one foot resting on the edge of the bath or a stool.
3. Unwrap the pessary: Carefully remove one pessary from its sealed blister pack. If it feels soft, you can run the pack under cold water for a few seconds first.
4. Insert gently: Hold the pessary between your thumb and forefinger. Gently push it into the vagina as far as it will comfortably go — usually about the length of your index finger.
5. Relax: If you aren't already in bed, lie down for 15–20 minutes. This gives the pessary time to melt and prevents it from slipping out.

Consistency is key when using CBD for pelvic wellness. We recommend using one pessary daily, ideally at the same time each evening.

Using it before bed is often the best choice. Not only does it allow for maximum absorption while you lie still, but many women also find the ritual of evening care helps them wind down for sleep.

If you are using Amorae for period-related support, you might start using them a few days before your cycle begins and continue throughout your period.

It takes a little time for your body to adjust to a new routine. Here are a few ways to make using your CBD pessaries seamless:

• Keep them cool: Store your Amorae pessaries in a cool, dry place. If your house is very warm, you can keep them in the fridge to ensure they stay firm for easy insertion.
• Use a liner: As the plant-based lipids melt, there may be a small amount of oily discharge. A light panty liner is usually enough to keep you feeling fresh.
• Stack your habits: Place your Amorae box next to your toothbrush or on your nightstand so you remember to use it as part of your existing evening routine.
