This is the only product I can use to ease my monthly chronic period pain. I have tried Tylenol, Advil, and Alieve and nothing works. These pills are a little expensive, but because they work they are so worth it.

I have very bad period cramps and other pains when I am on my period. If I didn't have Midol I would be curled up in bed and puking for the duration of my period. The first day is terrible for me, and sometimes the second day, so I only end up using 2-4 pills (2 in each dose). The bottles I buy come with 32 pills, so one small $7 bottle lasts me a very long time. I don't know what I would do if I never found out about them. Love it!

Without Midol i don't know if I could make it through Aunt Flo's visit every month... literally. These little pills are my miracle workers once/ month. They completely get rid of my cramps and bloated feeling. The PMS ones even help with my irritability (it's true and I am a VERY irritable person for about 4- 5 days without them!)

Highly recommend for anyone who has a rough period.

As a teen I suffered with strong menstrual cramps, midol mildly releeved some of the cramps but I would suggest just using Tylenol to be just as effective without buying a separate product. I was still bloated and had all other Pms issues that go with the monthly cycle.

Works really well on cramps! Definitely a must have for all women who suffer from cramps.

Midol is definitely a must-have for women who suffer from menstrual cramps and/or PMS.
But not only is it great for PMS, it's also great for your average headache and much more effective than Tylenol. I always keep Midol on hand. I refer to Midol as "magic pills" ;)

I had some major cramps right before my period so I went ahead and got the extra strength. In about 30 minutes it started to calm down my cramps and I was able to carry on with my everyday activities.

I've tried this for menstrual cramps and it did diddly squat! Advil works wonders so this product is a waste of money!

It works awesome!! can't go without it...

I purchased Midol Extra Strength PMS formula (there were some other formulas meant for your time of the month but this one seemed to be directed at the symptoms I usually get the worst).
Compared to using a regular pain reliever (for general symptoms like headaches or muscle pain), Midol does an awesome job. It got rid of my cramps (which can be severe on the first day), back pain, tenderness, bloating, all without making me feel too drowsy or medicated.
I can't remember what the price was, but I know it was pretty cheap, and it has 32 caplets which should last me another few months. (I took 2 as soon as I started to feel a bit crampy, and then another 1 every couple of hours when they started to come back.)
Midol is going to be a staple item for me from now on, since it works so well - any lady who gets nasty PMS symptoms should definitely try this!
