What are CBD pessaries?
A clear explanation of CBD pessaries: what they are, how they work, and why local delivery to the pelvis can be more useful than swallowing a capsule.
The short answer
A CBD pessary is a small, softly shaped insert that you place into the vagina. It dissolves at body temperature and releases CBD — a non-psychoactive compound from hemp — directly into the pelvic area. Because it works locally, it does not need to pass through your stomach or liver to reach the tissues that ache.
Local delivery, right where you feel it
When you swallow CBD oil or a capsule, it travels through your digestive system and is processed by your liver. Much of the active compound is broken down before it ever reaches your bloodstream. A pessary skips that journey.
Inserted into the vagina, the pessary melts at body temperature and releases CBD close to the muscles, nerves and tissues of the pelvis. This means more of the compound ends up exactly where many women feel period pain, endometriosis discomfort and chronic pelvic tension.
What is inside a CBD pessary?
Amorae Intimate contains two ingredients: a plant-based lipid base and a full-spectrum hemp extract standardised for CBD. It is THC-free, vegan, and free from parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrance and GMOs.
The pessaries are formulated and made in the United Kingdom using EU-GMP ingredients, and compounded in a licensed UK pharmacy with batch testing for potency and purity.
Are CBD pessaries right for you?
CBD pessaries are intended for adults who want local, daily pelvic support. They are not a medicine and not a cure. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and speak to a healthcare professional if you take prescribed medicines.
