There is a new medical breakthrough for woman: it's called Menastil and it's a new type of pain relief for the pain that comes when "Aunt Flo" visits. You're probably wondering how it's different than any other pain reliever such as Tylenol, Motrin, Midol or Advil. Well, there is a big difference. The difference is that Menastil is only made for cramps and is a topical ointment that you roll on the areas that are giving you pain. That's right, you just roll it on. That means there are no pills to choke down, and this special formula leaves no known side effects, just fast relief from menstrual pain.

The secret to the formula is Calendula oil, which is secreted from marigold petals and has been historically used as a topical analgesic for pain. A diluted version of Calendula oil is the active ingredient in Menastil. This also makes Menastil all-natural and cruelty-free, and it contains no alcohol, fillers or chemical additives. It also has the FDA's approval. Thousands of women have tried Menastil and nearly all experience pain relief in 5-15 minutes.

But will it leave a stain on my cloths? How does it smell? How long does it last? Menastil is non-greasy and usually absorbs into the skin within a few minutes and does not leave a stain on most fabrics but if by chance is does get on clothes it usually comes out with regular washing. They also gave Menastil a fresh peppermint scent so it not only relieves pain, but also leaves a nice yummy fragrance. Most women only need to apply it once or twice per menstrual cycle so one bottle typically lasts 4-8 months.

You don't need a prescription to buy Menastil. As of right now, the only way you can get it is by ordering it online through their web site. It should be available over the counter in retail stores in the near future.
