Normalize menstrual health—period.

AIMA was founded to disrupt the status quo and advocate for women & people with periods everywhere.

AIMA (“eh-ma”) is derived from the Greek word for blood.

Founded in 2019, we exist to create alternative solutions for effective period relief.

Lanna's story

In 2018, I couldn't take any more Advil or birth control pills for my debilitating period cramps. I had developed stomach ulcers and transient ischemic attacks (tiny strokes) and felt exhausted and hopeless.

But when I went to my doctor, she tried to prescribe me opioids. I knew I needed to find an alternative solution. So, I turned to cannabis.

I founded AIMA so that women and people who menstruate have access to period care that doesn't have harmful or life-threatening side effects. In doing so, AIMA is creating a more equitable and just world where every single body can feel empowered and celebrated.

You deserve to feel empowered during that time of the month

Our tested, CBD & CBG vaginal suppository helps you feel better so you can stress less and live more.

SHOP CBD SUPPOSITORIES

Effectiveness: Moderately effective

Comparison: Somewhat better

Effects: Gradual over time

Works, but muted

These suppositories definitely helped to dial down the pain, however they did not completely get rid of it, just made it more manageable. I ended up using 1 box for 1 period because I needed 2 suppositories at a time for optimal relief. Long term, that is pretty pricey. I would keep a box put away for those unbearable days, but I can't justify using them as my main source of pain control as a result of the price. I would love for AIMA to release an extra strength dose.

Effectiveness: Highly effective

Comparison: Much better

Effects: Immediate relief

Easy to use and comfortable for people with pelvic pain

I'm a pelvic physical therapist and I've worked with many people facing severe pelvic pain, particularly during their periods. For patients with uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and other conditions that cause intense cramping pain during menstruation, I often struggle to help them find pain relief that works and lasts.

I'm excited to be able to offer OVY to more of these patients. The suppository is small and easy to insert, even for people with a lot of pelvic floor muscle tension. I love that it's water-based so it won't disrupt the natural vaginal microenvironment or alter its pH.

A great innovation in helping people with pelvic pain manage their symptoms and feel better quickly!

Very effective, no negative side effects!

OVY is an easy and effective way to treat the worst of my endometriosis pain without the harsh side effects of a lot of medications (NSAIDS and narcotics). With OVY, I can get back to sleep or work without worrying that my stomach will ache or wondering if I can safely work/drive/function. I am thankful to have an option to treat my pain that is effective and without negative side effects.

A must for endometriosis

My PT gave me one of the OVY because even after surgery I still have VERY painful periods. The suppository really helped with the tension due to the pain in my pelvic area. I was able to sleep that night which is a bit improvement for those days for me. I already got some more and hopefully I won’t need them very often but I’m glad it exists!

I love OVY!

As someone who has immensely struggled with period pain my entire life, this product saved me from the excruciating 2-3 days of intense cramps and allowed me to feel normal during my cycle - a first! I'm recommending it to all my friends!
