Keep the "Beauty" in "Beauty Sleep"

Even though we all like to pretend we're perfectly gorgeous creatures 100% of the time (especially me), every month perfection is thrown to the wind as we all struggle to deal with mother nature's monthly "gift". Prior to last month, I had only heard about menstrual pain so bad you can barely move, and so painful you can't think about anything else, but just a few weeks ago I actually spent a whole day experiencing such monstrous cramps that it was all I could do to keep myself from crying.


All I can say is thank goodness I had the good sense to get some Midol PM from the store (and the commercials are so cute). Before taking it that night, I had never taken Midol PM or its daytime counterpart and I never really gave it much credit. Well, let me tell you, not only did it take the excruciating pain away, as soon as it kicked in, I slept like an unnaturally well-adjusted baby. I have never slept so good on my period! Normally I'm up every few hours, going to the bathroom or "just checking" and I can't get comfortable enough to really rest. With Midol PM I only woke up once, at around 7 in the morning and after that I slept until around 9.

If cramps ever keep you awake at night, it doesn't have to be that way! Do yourself and everyone else who has to interact with you a favor and keep the "beauty" in "beauty sleep" by helping yourself to a Midol PM . Just be aware that you will most likely be knocked out so make sure you have the right pad for your flow and cover your mattress and sheets appropriately so you don't have any accidents.

Thank you Midol!
love, iCandy
