what is emPATCH.?

emPATCH. is an all-natural topical patch that aims to alleviate period and PMS symptoms such as cramps, fatigue, and mood swings while celebrating the menstrual cycle as a symbol of strength, not a burden. Made with allergen-free adhesive and non-woven fabric, emPATCH. adheres to your stomach for 8-10 hours for consistent, uninterrupted relief.

how do PMS patches work?

PMS patches are wearable products designed to provide support for menstrual symptoms through ingredients or technologies delivered directly from a patch to the skin. Depending on the product, a PMS patch may use heat therapy, aromatherapy, herbal ingredients, essential oils, cooling sensations, or transdermal delivery systems. The effectiveness of a PMS patch depends on its ingredients and intended mechanism.

Many women use PMS patches as a non-medication option for symptoms such as:

  • Menstrual cramps
  • Bloating
  • Lower back discomfort
  • Mood changes
  • Fatigue
  • General menstrual discomfort

Because PMS symptoms vary widely from person to person, many women combine patches with other approaches such as exercise, hydration, sleep, stress management, or dietary changes.

what are the most common non-medication approaches to PMS?

Every body is different and requires different solutions, but the most common include:
Heat Therapy: Heating pads, heat patches, and warm baths may help relax muscles and provide comfort during menstrual cramps.

Exercise: Regular movement, including walking, yoga, stretching, and strength training, may help improve mood, energy levels, and physical discomfort associated with PMS.

Sleep and Stress Management: Poor sleep and high stress can worsen PMS symptoms for some women. Prioritizing rest, mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques may be helpful.

Nutrition: Some women find symptom improvement by maintaining balanced meals, staying hydrated, and limiting excess sodium, alcohol, or caffeine during certain parts of their cycle.

Supplements: Commonly used supplements include magnesium, vitamin B6, omega-3 fatty acids, and calcium, though individual results vary.

Wearable Relief Products: Wearable options such as PMS patches, heating patches, and menstrual support patches offer a convenient, on-the-go alternative for women seeking symptom support without taking an additional pill.

what is the difference between emPATCH. and a heating pad?

emPATCH. does not contain any heating mechanisms; it, and other natural PMS patches, use ingredients infused into the patch to penetrate the skin and provide relief. A heating pad is an electric device that provides heat relief without any additional ingredients or medication.

how does emPATCH. differ from existing PMS patches?

emPATCH. aims to provide relief through a unique formula that’s both fast-acting and long lasting. Menthol provides relief within a few minutes of skin contact, and magnesium and other supplements provide sustained relief delivery throughout the full eight hours. In addition to this formula, we prioritize empowering females from the inside out - unlike other patches that are designed to blend into skin, ours are designed to stand out. With bold patterns and educational messaging, we’re teaching the message: you’re on your period? So what, flaunt it with pride!

how does emPATCH. provide emotional support?

emPATCH. strives to be part of a broader conversation around women's health, helping women better understand their cycles and feel more supported throughout them. As mentioned previously, we design bold, colorful patches and brand messaging to provide an empathetic, supportive approach to the period journey.

are there any limitations with how to use emPATCH.?

emPATCH. can be worn anywhere, anytime - the patches are waterproof, so they can be worn in the shower, while swimming, etc. They are conveniently positioned to adapt to a busy lifestyle - the comfortable fabric moves with you and remains stuck for the entire duration of use.

where is emPATCH. made?

emPATCH. is proudly made in the USA in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility to ensure all processes are up to standard. Our company is based in California.

what ingredients are in emPATCH.?

The product’s main ingredients are magnesium, shatavari, and menthol. In addition to vitamins such as vitamin B6, magnesium, shatavari, and menthol have been positively indicated in studies to support PMS relief.

what are the differences between pills, supplements, and patches for PMS relief?

PMS Pills: typically over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription treatments. These can provide symptom-specific relief and are widely available, but may cause long-term damage to the liver and other organs.

PMS Supplements: examples include magnesium, calcium, vitamin B6, omega-3s, and herbal blends. These are clean and widely accessible, but results may vary based on the individual and often take longer for effects to be visible. 

PMS Patches: wearable products applied directly to the skin. They are convenient, easy to administer, and provide sustained delivery. However, effectiveness may vary based on the patch type and user.
